<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Examining John Dingell’s about-face on climate change]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Sam Wells http://www.grist.org/article/dingell-hopper/ Wed, 05 Sep 2007 11:07:47 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/dingell-hopper/1 Saddest words?

Hey folks, people do change their minds, and Dingell last I checked was a human being, too.  Why do you say those are sad words when you should be jumping for joy?

The man has one heck of a problem on his hands.  Have you been to Michigan lately?  Hundreds of huge plants lay idle, shut down, and are locked behind fences that seem to allow for graffiti and broken window but not you and me.  Thousands of workers are out of jobs.  Go down by the waterfront and see how the once powerful coal, coke, and steel industry has created ruins that continually burp up Superfund toxics.  People are either leaving or can't leave because they're too poor.  It's enough to break your heart.

If it wasn't for some high-tech areas like Ann Arbor, as well as some of the most beautiful countryside in the world, we might as well write off Michigan as being meaningless.  That's where Dingell is coming from, just to you know.  Try Detroit for about two weeks and let me know what you think.

He cared about his people ... he changed his mind.  I fail to see that as some kind of lacking.  /sam

Onward through the fog

Look..these guys are gonna float with the breeze until they see if this whole AGW thing is B.S. or not.

Who wants to be the guy on YouTube 10 years from now, standing in front of an audience telling everyone how they're going to drown, once the sea levels start their precipitous fall ( Bailo Model prediction ).
