How many political "mission accomplished" speeches start with the words, "It's taken us 30 years of hard work to realize this day ...."
The intellectual dishonesty of those who should know better and still push their political agenda is absolutely stunning! If your physics teacher actually had a degree in physics, he could not possibly have concluded that carbon dioxide was ruining the world. The laws of physics don't change, no matter how impassioned our pleas may be.
