The Real Case against Activist Global Warming Policy

摘要

The brutal winter weather that afflicted the East Coast, including Washington, D.C., earlier this year and the failure of global temperatures to rise-as predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-since 1998 have given critics of global warming policies a point to bring up in the climate debate, but it would be a mistake for them to use these facts as their main argument. The case against activist global warming policy goes much deeper than what is happening in the weather today or even this decade. The real case is that activist policy depends on a teetering chain of improbabilities.
