Turning Off Fears of Global
Warming

All over the planet recently, people turned off electric
lights to illustrate alarm about human-caused global warming,
and the symbolism, it seems to me, is dead-on right about the
possible consequences not of warming itself, but of hype about
warming.
Progress could become regress, and figuratively speaking, the
world could go dark.
The fear mongering knows no surcease. Every possible evil is
blamed on climate change, from water shortages to flooding to
the disappearance of certain frogs.
Supposedly, there's a scientific consensus of coming catastrophe
of almost unspeakable horror, and millions have been swayed to
this point of view, as the ``Earth Hour" light-dimming showed.
The politicians are at this moment devising policies meant to
be preventive but that could be perilous or pointless or both.
You begin to edge toward balance in a survey in which more than
500 climate scientists were asked if we knew enough to formulate
such policies.
A majority said we did not. A think-tank fellow reaffirms in
an op-ed piece that the United Nations employed clearly faulty
methods in making dire projections about the warming to come and
that there's no sound basis for insisting that today's warming
is the highest ever known in Earth's history.
