Is it reasonable to compare those who don’t think that there is significant man-made global warming to those who support apartheid? How about to an abusive alcoholic father? If the reverse was true, would people object? From the Washington Post:
AG: Well, I think the most important part of it is winning the conversation. I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South.

The conversation on global warming has been stalled because a shrinking group of denialists fly into a rage when it’s mentioned. It’s like a family with an alcoholic father who flies into a rage every time a subject is mentioned and so everybody avoids the elephant in the room to keep the peace. But the political climate is changing. . . .

Yo, big Al! Still driving that gas guzzler of yours, and flying around in your carbon-spewing private jet?

Al Gore is the nicest guy, but a real Tippish.
