Green tyranny...

For further information, read this:

The Wall Street Journal vs. The Scientific Consensus

From the Sach's article in SciAm:

"Reporters for the Wall Street Journal routinely distance themselves from the editorial page. Many of the paper's own reporters laugh or cringe at the anti-scientific posture of the editorials, and advise the rest of us simply not to read them. Nevertheless, the consequences of those editorials are significant. The Wall Street Journal is the most widely read business paper in the world. Its influence is extensive. Yet it gets a free pass on editorial irresponsibility."

"As a neighbor to the paper at Columbia University, the Earth Institute has repeatedly invited the editorial team to meet with leading climate scientists. I've offered to organize such a meeting in any way that the editorial board would like. On many occasions, the news editors have eagerly accepted, but the editorial writers have remained safe in their splendid isolation."

Now that we hear radio commercials from cigarette companies telling us directly that there are "no safe cigarettes", I think eventually the oil companies like ExxonMobil will realize that fossil fuel emissions have climate consequences.
