Power Line - More Stormy Weather for the Climate Campaign

If you want to get into the weeds of climate science and policy (and other science issues), you should bookmark the science blog of Roger Pielke Jr of the University of Colorado. Pielke is not a climate skeptic. Like Bjorn Lomborg, he accepts the conventional or "consensus" view that future climate change could be potentially very serious 100 years out from now. Here I should disclose that I have a slightly different view about climate change than John; I don't think climate change is a complete hoax. I think it is far from adequately understood and almost certainly to be recognized someday as having been vastly overestimated (like most past envrio-scares from the population bomb through acid rain). The cabal pushing the issue are acting in supremely bad faith, and their prescriptions (Kyoto Protocol, etc) are idiotic and tyrannical.
