I could spend all day fisking this one...

Tom Friedman, Global Weirding Is Here:

But I'll just mention what occurred to me when I read this part...

... In my view, the climate-science community should convene its top experts – from places like NASA, America's national laboratories, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, the California Institute of Technology and the U.K. Met Office Hadley Centre – and produce a simple 50-page report. They could call it "What We Know," summarizing everything we already know about climate change in language that a sixth grader could understand, with unimpeachable peer-reviewed footnotes....

This reminds me of the days when pundits friendly to the Republicans were saying, "Why doesn't President Nixon just fire those little people who were responsible for that silly Watergate burglary, so he can avoid being distracted from the big issues facing the country!"
