Samuelson on Global Warming

Robert Samuelson recently wrote this stark, somewhat cynical, but perhaps not entirely off the mark editorial on the challenge of climate change.

"Al Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth," as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. That's an illusion. The real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and -- barring major technological breakthroughs -- we can't do much about it."
