Reply #8: Krugman called it a seamless transition

[gratuitous]

Folks of Cheney's ilk have undergone a seamless transition from denial to fatalism: "Well, sure, there's been global climate change in the last couple of decades, no doubt about it. Who ever said there wasn't, for heaven's sakes? It's just that there's nothing we can do about it, so my overrich pals in the fossil fuel industry are perfectly justified in grabbing as much dough as they can while they can."

I wonder how many BTUs we could reclaim from the wasteful hunk of protoplasm currently walking around in the form of Dick Cheney?
