Former White House regulatory czar Cass Sunstein says the international community hasn’t fought global warming because the people aren’t afraid enough.
“An understanding of what human beings fear — and what they do not — helps to explain why nations haven’t insisted on more significant emissions reductions,” writes Sunstein, who is now a professor at Harvard Law School.
According to Sunstein, one reason people don’t fear global warming is because they don’t associate it with any “particular tragedy or disaster.”
… Sunstein notes, that there “are no obvious devils or demons — no individuals who intend to create the harms associated with climate change… in the context of climate change, those who are the solution might well also be, or seem to be, the problem.”
“In these circumstances, public outrage is much harder to fuel,” writes Sunstein

Is that enough?

Sounds like he is advocating for a climate - fear campaign to nudge the public
“...Sunstein, who is now a professor at Harvard Law School...”
Yup, a real climate “scientist” there.
I’m afraid Harvard’s standards were repeatedly stained by 1) JFK, Dead Ted, and most importantly, the Obamadork.
Sorry, but we are no longer buying your act, Harvard. And - accepting advice on science from a Law prof?
Bwahahahahahahaah!!!
Never let a good crisis go to waste, huh?
Guess it turns out that Global Warming isn’t such a good crisis after all.
You and your fellow totalitarian leftst travelers will just have to find a better one.
Don’t worry, Cass. I know you can do it. You guys are experts at making crises.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

“Obama promises Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.” FUD
Why not more fear of rabbits or gooney birds or....
fear his radical wife, who is our UN ambassador and de facto Secretary of Defense
surely she can cook up a good “scare”, maybe figuring out a way to invade Israel in the name of global warming
Shouldn’t the Alarmist be glad that the destruction of human existence on earth has been put on hold?
No! If global warming stops, so do the checks.
Sunstein on my shoulder makes me happy....
Well played. I fear his skanky wife stephanie the new and improved un ambassadoress. LOL!
“In these circumstances, public outrage is much harder to fuel,” writes Sunstein
Cass Babe...may I call you Babe?
were PLENTY OUTRAGED by the tyrannical regulations based on suspected “climate change”
thanks for your abiding interest in getting to the bottom of this affair!
Sunstein is a red dwarf, and not very bright.
The Warmist cult is falling apart, so they had to trot out Ambassador Power’s husband to re-energize it. Not buying, Commie.
He is also the current person being used to help investigate NSA “over reach”
That communist needs a healthy dose of fear himself.
