But What's the Point, Rex?

Canadaโ€™s most loquacious iconoclast, the grandiloquent Rex Murphy, was having forth on CBCโ€™s The Nationalย again last night, arguing that Paul Martinโ€™s position on climate change is hypocritical (which is true), and that the whole notion of global warming is too confusing to be believable (which isย pathetic).

It is ever a disappointment that, in rustling up his fatuous philippics,ย Murphy can always find time to commune with his Thesaurus but never manages an opportunity toย check hisย facts.

Five minutes with a Grade 7 science teacher would be sufficient to understand why โ€œwarmer canย meanย wetter.โ€ Three minutes on the Nature website would explain that, in certain global pockets,ย warmer can indeed mean colder, especially if the Gulf Stream stalls in the Atlanticย Ocean.

Cโ€™mon Rex. Enough with the Ciceronian silliness, the blithe blatherย wrapped in lavish language. How about a little reliable content, for aย change?
