Prophecy fulfilled: Democracy stalls climate sacrifice

摘要

A prominent prophet of climate doom appears, after all, to be prophetic. No, James Hansen of the NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies hasn't been proven right about a perilously warming Earth. For that to happen, something will have to change a temperature record that shows no warming trend in the past decade. Now governments are on the verge of sacrificing their countries' economies to warming precautions that may have negligible effect on global average temperature. Now the crisis is democracy itself.
