Extremists like Alan Keyes may think that global warming is the handiwork of God, but the rest of us see a human creation that is much more of a curse than a blessing. A new study led by Ken Caldeira at Stanford University, for example, forecasts that if the emissions of carbon dioxide by human civilization are not restrained through new efforts at regulation, the oceans will reach an acid pH equivalent to the legal standard for industrial waste by the year 2050. The prospect of the conversion of the earth’s oceans into industrial waste is a mighty good reason to vote for a presidential candidate who has a strong, long record in opposing climate change – a progressive candidate.
