Climate Hysteria

I read a really good article today. Unfortunately, this article reinforces the fact that as long as there is money or power involved you can't believe anything you read or hear. It's almost like we all need to be scientists capable of doing our own research so that we can choose to believe or dismiss all the "facts" that are being thrown our way. I don't even know if this "really good article" has an ounce of fact in it. You can read it here. I don't know how long that link will last. I liked the last paragraph. It made me think that maybe this author is "on my side".

Here's the last paragraph:
Climate change is a genuine phenomenon, and there is a nontrivial risk of major consequences in the future. Yet the hysteria of the global warming campaigners and their monomaniacal advocacy of absurdly expensive curbs on fossil fuel use have led to a political dead end that will become more apparent with the imminent collapse of the Kyoto-Copenhagen process. I have long expected that 20 or so years from now we will look back on the turn-of-the-millennium climate hysteria in the same way we look back now on the population bomb hysteria of the late 1960s and early 1970s--as a phenomenon whose magnitude and effects were vastly overestimated, and whose proposed solutions were wrongheaded and often genuinely evil (such as the forced sterilizations of thousands of Indian men in the 1970s, much of it funded by the Ford Foundation). Today the climate campaigners want to forcibly sterilize the world's energy supply, and until recently they looked to be within an ace of doing so. But even before Climategate, the campaign was beginning to resemble a Broadway musical that had run too long, with sagging box office and declining enthusiasm from a dwindling audience. Someone needs to break the bad news to the players that it's closing time for the climate horror show.
