Weirdly, this leads to a good point, so I'll answer publicly:

My 'position' is the same as my 'position' on AGW or just about any
other contentious issue: You can believe what you choose to believe
and I will not object in the slightest right up until I get the idea
that your belief system is going to be used to ram public policy down
my throat.

If you want to discuss science, email me.

Ah, so this really is about politics. *You don't want one public policy
(dong something), and others don't want the opposite public policy
(doing nothing). *In both cases, one side would be ramming their policy
down the throat of the others, right?

Of course it's political! Not solely, but....

There's a non-trivial asymmetry in those two cases politically. Hope
that's obvious. I don't think we should argue that here....
