Money is Green
It is the main-stream media who have been playing the one-note samba of AGW, and the big media are (part of) Big Business. Granted, big coal and big oil have a vested interest in protecting their share of energy production, but that by itself does not necessarily make their arguments invalid. Akasofu's numbered comments underline that reality, and he is not alone.
The tide is beginning to turn. Here's George Will:
In the history of developed democracies with literate publics served by mass media, there is no precedent for today’s media enlistment in the crusade to promote global warming “awareness.” Concerning this, journalism, which fancies itself skeptical and nonconforming, is neither.
The green bubble has burst
(my bold emphasis)
The tide may be turning, but it will take more than widespread public skepticism about shaky climate science to deter their alarmists from their chosen mission. A cooling planet may do it, but by the time that chilling reality dawns on the powers that be, their green agenda may be a fait accompli.
