I want smart readers. The fact that you think global warming is something that we can ignore means you shouldn’t read me. Go somewhere else. Even George Bush now acknowledges that global warming is real and is something we need to do about. Thanks.

Robert Scoble

I don’t know Robert Scoble. He seems like a nice enough guy, and I enjoy scanning his site for tech news, but his recent foray into the world of politics is a bit of a turn off — especially when it is presented with a Bay Area attitude of omniscient supremacy. “Don’t read my tech blog if you don’t agree with my political views” is a poor attitude to have.

And yes, climate change, as presented by Scoble (asking what Microsoft is going to do about it) is a political issue. There’s science to be discussed regarding climate change, but most of the discussion is politically-motivated “wag the dog” blather.
