Accuracy in long-term climate prediction is hard to come by, from solar cycle activity onwards. Claims of imminent doom are bluffs, as is the idea of spending to ‘solve the climate’.
Climate change is nothing more nor less than a faddish scam, writes Alan Carlin. Unfortunately, this is not unusual in environmental issues.
One major problem is that there is no inexpensive way to “solve” it as climate alarmists claim. In fact, it could easily consume the entire national income of any nation that really tried to eliminate it.
The benefits of actually trying to do so would be negative, not positive. This is because the climate warriors picked a trace gas which is vital to life on Earth as their culprit. And they picked a gas that has had no significant affect on global temperatures.
As Richard Lindzen pointed out recently climate is influenced by a myriad of effects and to blame a minor trace gas for whatever happens is ridiculous.
Fortunately, the scam initially started to take hold in Europe first. So much of the economic damage has occurred there, not in the US.
And the Europeans are finally beginning to realize that humoring the climate alarmists does not make them go away. It only makes them ask for even more.
