Climate change is bunk. It’s a hustle.
But it’s a gold mine for all those mediocre and jobless scientists who are determined to muscle their way into a fat government grant.
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
And, of course, Climate Chang/Global Warming is just such a hobgoblin. However, this particular hobgoblin’s aim is to also shake down the world’s ill informed.
If the situation were dire, the green movement would repudiate the hucksters who live by conspicuous consumption and do not lead by example.
