El colapso del global calenting

Otra estrategia colectivista que muerde el polvo. ¿Qué inventarán la próxima vez?

Para que lo digan en el Global and Mail, debe ser muy grave. Como predijo Michael Crichton en su momento, resultó ser otro caso de “invierno nuclear”, la manipulación política de la ciencia con fines supuestamente altruistas:

None of this is to say that global warming isn't real, or that human activity doesn't play a role, or that the IPCC is entirely wrong, or that measures to curb greenhouse-gas emissions aren't valid. But the strategy pursued by activists (including scientists who have crossed the line into advocacy) has turned out to be fatally flawed.

By exaggerating the certainties, papering over the gaps, demonizing the skeptics and peddling tales of imminent catastrophe, they've discredited the entire climate-change movement. The political damage will be severe. As Mr. Mead succinctly puts it: “Skeptics up, Obama down, cap-and-trade dead.” That also goes for Canada, whose climate policies are inevitably tied to those of the United States.
