Environmentalism & Morons

Do I think that carbon emissions, to take one salient example, will cause catastrophic global effects in the next fifty years? Two hundred? I don’t know, that’s what the scientists are there for. Certain quarters of society are claiming that the scientists don’t know what they’re talking about, forgetting that those same scientists are the ones who invented the wonders of industrial civilization whose impact is being dismissed. Who is more qualified to say that a house’s foundation is inadequate, the guy who designed and built the house, or the guy who lives in it? Ignorance and a vested interest in maintaining that ignorance are a catastrophic combination.
