My daughter brought home a Scholastic paper that is teaching Global Warming as fact. Not happy here.

Wishful Thinking on Energy (Who Wants Downgrades Anyway?) — MasterResource

One of the major problems in policy-making is wishful thinking, in particular a tendency to assume that people will act the way the policy-maker wants. (Military and even corporate planners also suffer from this weakness, and it is arguably the principle weakness in socialist economics.) This presumption is particularly evidentwhen issues of morality—real or perceived—are involved, as in the case of many environmental policies.

Examples include the frequent assertion that the lesser capabilities of electric cars are not important, that consumers don’t need a car with an extended range or that requires a lengthy downtime for recharging.

Or the belief that local people will put up with large, low-density energy installations such as for wind or concentrated solar power in areas that they otherwise would wish to keep pristine or at least non-industrial.

But reality tends to intrude.
