Quote by Charles Krauthammer

“I'm not a global warming believer. I'm not a global warming denier. I'm a global warming agnostic who believes instinctively that it can't be very good to pump lots of CO2 into the atmosphere but is equally convinced that those who presume to know exactly where that leads are talking through their hats.”

This is truly unprecedented: A young unknown with no history, no paper trail, no well-known associates, self-created.”
