If Jesus raised the dead tomorrow, our science czar probably would be too busy calculating the carbon footprint to find salvation.

After all, President Barack Obama warned me this week that a failure to address the problem of "carbon pollution" could create an "irreversible catastrophe." (Yeah, Oxygen, you're next.) Chu recently referred to Earth as "the great ship Titanic."
