Pre-emptive hypocrisy
Matthew Turner points out an apparent contradiction in the dogma of US Republicans and UK 'neo-conservatives': that pre-emptive action is always correct, except when addressing global warming.
As Matthew says, the argument seems about the same:
"something terrible might happen, we're not sure exactly what and whether it will, but the risks are too great to do nothing, and history won't forgive us if it does and we did nothing."
