... UCS embraces an environmental agenda that often stands at odds with the "rigorous scientific analysis" it claims to employ. A radical green wolf in sheep's clothing, UCS tries to distinguish itself from the Greenpeaces of the world by convincing the media that its recommendations reflect a consensus among the scientific community. And that's what makes it so dangerous. Whether it's energy policy or agricultural issues, UCS's "experts" are routinely given a free pass from newspaper reporters and television producers when they claim that mainstream science endorses their radical agenda. Let's entertain a thought, John. Two scenarios - which is easier to back away from? 1) Bush at one extreme: Damage as much as possible. Allow polluters like coal-burning power plants to have free reign as if it were the 1950s all over again. Allow your campaign contributors to mow down as much old growth forest as possible before your term in office ends and the jig is up. 2) UCS: Be overly cautious, even if it means there's less land for use by dirtbikes and snowmobiles. Consider the results of both and tell me what's easier to fix? Your only possible way of avoiding the question is to say that you don't believe Bush occupies the extreme I have described, but in fact, he does. |
