My Position on Global Warming
Mike McNally over at Pajamas Media delineates a position on global warming that I agree with. If you want to get a better understanding of my position I suggest you read it.
The past few months have not been good to the still-infant discipline of climate change alarmism — that strange amalgam of pseudo-science, crystal ball gazing, and mass hysteria that was formerly known as global warming alarmism until it became apparent a few years back that the globe had in fact stopped warming, and the alarmists decided that the term “climate change” was a more effective way of describing what the rest of us call “weather.”
For around a decade now — since around the time, coincidentally, that the warming stopped — the alarmists have had things pretty much their own way, dominating the debate with ever more dramatic predictions of impending doom as man-made CO2 emissions heat up the planet, and managing for the best part to keep a lid on dissent, thanks to an unlikely, and decidedly unholy, alliance of organizations and individuals with a vested interest in upping the fear factor.

Seems reasonable enough I guess. It’s really a moot point anyways: the rise of fossil fuel prices will drive invention and innovation in alternate energies, and everybody will get their way in the end. The Alarmists will get new energy sources, and the Skeptics can avoid state control to get there.

My main position on global warming is that no one I’ve ever talked to about it, including myself, has ever bothered to read an actual original scientific paper on the subject, so I’m not sure that any of our opinions matter.

I love Darwin. When the man is right, he’s right.
