The Sky Is Falling!
Norfolk Daily News editorial, 1/18: "Alarmism doesn't help any. When it comes to climate change, honesty needed in discussing chaotic world of climatology . . . Society has been subjected to what seems like an endless series of predictions of doom. The problem is that predicting the worst--in hopes of spurring corrective action--isn't working. Rather, unrealistic predictions of doom sow seeds of doubt & help explain why alarmism has failed . . . None of this is intended to mean that Americans should ignore climate change. It is intended to demonstrate why it's wise to be at least a little skeptical about the type of alarmism contained in the most recent government report & the scary scenarios offered up by hard-core advocates.
"As a society, we will do much better in addressing climate change if those who claim expertise are more honest in discussing data & measurement problems, especially of the distant past, the limitations of complex computer models caused by reliance on too many assumptions, & the fact that the climate is a chaotic system. Distinguishing between known facts & 'expert judgment' will help policy makers & the public better understand the extent of risk & the appropriateness of proposed actions."
