Marginal Thought

With a little perserverence you can get things done
Without a blind adherence that has conquered some
--Corey Hart

Last week, President Obama spoke at MIT about his energy policy. During the speech, he spoke of the 'opponents' to his policy as being 'marginalized.' He claimed these opponents are making 'cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change.'

He goes on to suggest that the largest obstacle in the way of getting his policy done is cynicism and pessimism. He argues that what we need is optimism that his policy is correct.

Well reasoned thought processes know that there's plenty to contest w.r.t. the validity of the 'science' of global warming. It's easy to view the president's plea as one to switch off critical thought and blindly follow the 'smart ones.' A rhetoric of compliance.

Hopefully individuals will engage their brains and carefully think this issue thru on their own.
