Global Warming: The Perversion of Science
By Alan Caruba
Editor's note: Alan's new book, Warning Signs, is hot off the press. If you have enjoyed Alan's columns, you'll love his book. Check it out.
Who are you going to believe? The Green claim of global warming or the huge piles of snow left behind by the latest record-setting blizzard?
The one thing that the claim of global warming has achieved is the debasement and perversion of science.
This corruption has been foisted on the world by environmentalists who hate science that does not conform to their political and social agendas. They use the facade of science to advance their ceaseless attacks on industrialization and modern technology. Their purpose is to force the reduction of energy sources, primarily petroleum, but including coal, and, surprisingly, nuclear energy, the cleanest form. If they could claim that hydroelectric energy was a form of pollution, they would.
The latest example of their willingness to completely reverse reality is a claim by Melissa Carey, a so-called "climate change policy specialist" with the Environmental Defense fund. On February 20, a reporter for CNSnews, Marc Morano, quoted her as saying the blizzard that immobilized the East Coast of the United States was, in her view, proof that global warming was occurring.
