Excerpt:
The use of climate to frighten people is hardly new: The Bible does so,
and the New York Times has issued such warmings at least a half dozen times over the past century.
However, it is crucial to understand that there is no consensus for such alarm, and indeed the science
often points in the opposite direction. Current climate hysteria simply represents the scientific illiteracy
of much of the educated public (interestingly, most polls in the US and UK show that working people
remain largely unconcerned), the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth,
and the exploitation of these weaknesses by politicians, environmental promoters, and, after 20 years
of media exploitation, many others as well.
The dangers of some of their agendas are likely to be far greater than the dangers of man- made climate change.
