The reason some of us are skeptical about man-made global warming, or climate change, isn’t that we’re in ‘denial’ or the pay of Big Oil. It’s the alarmists’ long run of lurid failed predictions.
Well isn’t that nice? Someone in Alberta is having conversations about climate change that bring together differing viewpoints and … massage them into the alarmist “consensus.” Then they go outside and it’s freezing cold.
I know, I know, when we point out that Calgary just had its coldest February since 1936 and Banff its coldest ever they pat us on the head and say warming isn’t about warming. It’s about whatever bad stuff just happened, doubtless caused by wretched humans. Then they explain that it’s not “global warming,” it’s “climate change,” cite some imaginary increase in floods and send us to a psychiatrist.
Do I sound paranoid? Well, a January Psychology Today piece about helping us overcome climate “denial” said despite rock-solid science “we are the victims of a well-funded and sophisticated misinformation campaign that attempts to keep us in the dark about climate change.” Which frankly sounds paranoid to me. But then I’m not a psychologist.
Nor am I a scientist. But since they weren’t either, and Al Gore isn’t, and Elizabeth May isn’t, and Will Happer is, let’s avoid low blows and debate the issues.
