STRANGELY, considering that it involves an issue of surpassing importance, the Senate has not shown any interest in the subject of climate change . It has allowed warnings and predictions of climate catastrophe to be paraded without the merest comment by legislators.
The Senate spends a lot of time and money investigating all kinds of issues and developments, including the inconsequential and trivial, in our national affairs and public life. When something catches a senator's fancy, promising some exposure in the media, he or she quickly files a resolution calling for an investigation of the matter, and voilà, before the public can comment, the Senate is off and running with a committee inquiry.
This is not widely known, but the biggest promoters of climate change in the country is the gigantic industry to fight global warming. The climate change lobby funds organizations and individuals across the world, particularly nongovernmental organizations , to spread the gospel of climate change. A number of foreigners preach the climate gospel among us.
In a column published in December 2009,"The climate-change travesty," Will charged that scientists were massaging data and embroidering facts to engineer an alarm about global warming.
The travesty is the intellectual arrogance of the authors of climate change models partially based on the problematic practice of reconstructing long-term prior climate changes. On such models, we are supposed to wager trillions of dollars - and substantially diminished freedom. Kerry, the Biden administration's special presidential envoy for climate - an office that amounts to much less than a bucket of warm spit - is part of a chorus of fearmongering that goes back more than three decades.
