The writer here is so blinded by his own political biases, he just can't see the science. Nor the economics. Dire warnings do sell articles, though, and it helps to put the catastrophes far enough into the future that when they don't happen, the warnings have passed out of memory and new, breathless warnings can be sold. Can anyone name the writers who warned us about mass food shortages and world-wide famine by 1980? Or the coming New Ice Age?
"A clown is funny in the circus ring, but what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight and finding the same clown standing there in the moonlight?" — Lon Chaney, Sr.
