The Patriot Post® · Climate Doom Hysteria

Jonah Goldberg: “Climate-change activists insist that in science, revisions are routine, and that such corrections prove the good faith of scientists. Even if that’s true, one might still note that incentives are unhealthily arranged so that even well-intentioned researchers are encouraged to exaggerate the dangers of climate change and discouraged to criticize hyperbole. Moreover, were it not for the skeptics and deniers, many such corrections would never have been brought to light. … The real problem is that political activists and many leading institutions, particularly in the news media and academia, are determined to demonize any kind of skepticism – about the extent of the threat or the efficacy of proposed solutions – as illegitimate idiocy.”
