In which our regular writers toss around
subjects a little more volatile than usual.
Over the last 20 years we’ve seen all
kinds of pontificating about the threat of global warming, or climate change,
or whatever it’s being repackaged as this week. One thing we can be sure of is
that in the current economic situation, climate change is not the first thing
on the minds of most Americans. The number of U.S. citizens who consider it a
source of great worry dropped to a new low of 31% in 2014.
Given that the dire warnings of
the Warmists are going largely unheeded at present, there has been an
increasingly intense effort to reframe the climate change issue as a moral one
rather than merely a political or practical one.
