Doubling Down On Climate Alarmism

Doubling Down On Climate Alarmism
Falsified Alarmism
The United States/China pact and the UN meeting in South America are little more than desperate attempts to keep the climate agenda going in an energy-hungry, fossil-fuel world.
Consumers are choosing oil, gas, and coal over politically correct, economically inferior substitutes. But in the intellectual/government/pundit sphere, a witch’s brew of bad science and Gruber salesmanship has turned an intellectual cause into a fringe religion — and self-defeating politics.
For decades, climate campaigners have warned that, unless we cut CO2 emissions rapidly and drastically, environmental devastation will be just around the corner.
Like the running-out-of-oil predictions since the 1860s, the running-out-of-livable-climate (“tipping point“) meme of the last 25 years has been repeatedly falsified.
President Obama’s science advisor John Holdren, for example, refuses to disavow his 1980s prediction that by 2020, a billion people could perish from famine induced by man-made climate change.
Holdren, going down with the Obama ship, now manufactures fringe analyses as mainstream science.
