My nervous system can no longer stand the strain.  Sent June 1:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After reading his latest attempt to dismiss the worldwide scientific consensus on global climate change (a genuine threat of enormous significance), I have a simple question about Jeff Jacoby&#8217;s predictive skills.  How often has he been right?  About Iraq?  Gay marriage?  The environment?  Examining his writings confirms that for decades, he&#8217;s been consistently wrong on just about everything.  Why, then, should his opinions on matters of science be given any credibility whatsoever?<\/p>\n<p>Although I lack a comfortable sinecure as the Globe&#8217;s token conservative columnist, I too would like to make a prediction: the climate is going to go miserably haywire just as climatologists are forecasting, and when Mr. Jacoby eventually does acknowledge the inescapable reality of climate change, he&#8217;ll advocate free-market solutions to the greenhouse effect&#8217;s destructive consequences \u2014 preferably involving tax cuts for billionaires and oil companies.   And he&#8217;ll be wrong.
