Attorney General Bill McCollum isn't buying Gov. Charlie Crist's belief that global warming is a threat to Florida and the world. Shortly before Christmas, McCollum sent a memo to Crist and the other Cabinet members, advising them that "the science is not all in" on the subject and urging them to view the enclosed DVD, a British television documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle.
The science is all in. Global warming is a fact. It is a threat. The chief cause of it is human activity. To believe otherwise is to be willfully ignorant at best. Scientists, by the way, never use words like "swindle," so you can safely assume that any DVD with that word in the title is nonscientific. McCollum is pandering to the worst elements of civil society.
