D. R. Tucker, the conservative author and former climate skeptic, changed his mind publicly!
How many people do you know who ever change their minds? especially on important political issues on which they have taken a public stand? Zero, but really, almost zero, because now we have Tucker, who in "Confessions of a Climate Convert" published on FrumForum on April 19, 2011, and in an interview in Slate, recanted.
It started he says, when he read Morris P. Fiorina's book Disconnect: The Breakdown in Representation in American Politics (2009). It continued when he read the irrefutable data in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). http://www.ipcc.ch/publications
"Holy shit, this is for real," was his reaction.
He didn't keep it to himself either, but took the honorable course and changed course.
Give the man credit!
