There was a similar post over at MyDD on the same thing. Someone there posted a comment saying Sullivan was actually arguing that, based on the conservative logic of "We must act now whether or not we really know what the truth is," we should act on global warming.

I haven't gotten a chance to read the article, so I don't know. But I do know that it is a good thing for so many people to be talking about and taking seriously global warming (about time).

Two explorers just reached the North Pole, becoming the first people to do so in the summer, and they found plenty of troubling signs, like not so much ice and polar bears farther north than expected. Take a look at their site: http://www.projectthinice.org/

   I agree with Amy that it is a good thing for so many people to even be talking about global warming.  In theory the more people talk about it, the higher level it is in people's consciousness, the greater chance that anything is actually done about it.

   In pratice, much of the American "noise" is still the out-of-control ravings of the lunatic right, oops, I mean MainStream Media.

   One of my concerns is that they will gum it to death as a subject, so that people start to hear it without anything happening, ever.
