They like their weird analogies at Gristmill. The latest comes from
scientist and Green oracle Joseph Romm, in an introduction to a tirade about geo-engineering by guest poster Bill Becker, executive director of the Presidential Climate Action Project:
Geo-engineering is to mitigation as chemotherapy is to diet and exercise
Weird.
Because chemotherapy is rather more useful than diet and exercise when
it comes to, say, curing someone of cancer. It's even weirder for the
fact that Gristmill's last weird analogy, by Romm's fellow scientist
and Green oracle Andrew Dessler, likened the planet to a sick child
in need of expert medical advice. Romm, it seems, would rather turn
Dessler's sick child over to some TV nutritionist to get them jogging
and eating more broccoli.
