Lawrence Solomon: Europe’s press (and Canada’s) turns against global warming | FP Comment | Financial Post

Inside, readers are treated to a lead article with the surprising title, Warm periods mean good times, that explains warmth helps crop and forests to grow and deserts to shrink. Other articles debunk false claims about global warming, and describe distinguished scientists who don’t buy the conventional wisdom on climate change.

“It won’t cost anything! Solutions are on the shelf! When will the rationing start already?! Er . . .”
