I had a crazy idea tonight. I've had a lot of these lately that I don't do much with, so I wanted to write about it.
I was walking home, listening to the most recent This American Life , on the politics of the climate change debate. In one of the scenes, the former Congressional Representative Bob Inglis is explaining that there are many Republican politicians who believe in the science of climate change, but simply cannot say a word about it publicly because to do so would be political suicide.
