Point/Counterpoint [Brown vs Hulme] - Iain Murray - The Corner on National Review Online

[Mike Hulme] The language of catastrophe is not the language of science. . . . To state that climate change will be "catastrophic" hides a cascade of value-laden assumptions which do not emerge from empirical or theoretical science.

They failed then and they will fail again because, whether gilded with shiny green rhetoric or hidden behind empty compromises, cap-and-trade is still a great big tax that will destroy jobs, make energy more expensive and detract from America’s national security.
