Book Sightings & an Invite to Germany « NoFrakkingConsensus

Six weeks ago I was invited to become a regular contributor to the Canadian version of the The Huffington Post. To the immense credit of its new Managing Editor, Danielle Crittenden, the offer remained firm even after she learned what my book is about. (The Huffington Post is so closely aligned with the standard environmentalist worldview it has a permanent section labeled Green.) Yesterday, an excerpt of my book appeared on The Huffington Post and I am hard at work on my first blog post for that venue which will be titled Why I’m a Climate Skeptic.

“The alarmists have power over our lives.” That is the key point that differentiates the alarmists from the sceptics. If we reverse the situation, with the consensus position being that the likelihood of catastrophic climate change is minuscule and in any event climate mitigation is practically useless, and the sceptics arguing that we should turn our economies upside down to counter what they allege to be a real risk, spending billions of dollars which could be otherwise spent on alleviating poverty or disease, which side of this hypothetical argument would be subjected to the greater scrutiny?

I am not suggesting such uneven scrutiny, merely a level playing field. But at the moment, we are a very long way from that.
