MinnPost - Don Shelby: Why aren't we more worried about global warming?

Maibach told me: "The more research we do, the more I'm convinced that we are way overselling the risk and way underselling the ways we can pursue solutions."

Dr. Maibach says people respond to solution information better than frightening scenarios. "It is the risk information that tends to drive people away."
Then Americans should be running for their lives, and toward rejection of the science based on three concurrent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).  

The IPCC released a report predicting a greater frequency of extreme weather events caused by global warming. The OECD reported that if global warming isn't tamed, the world will reach a tipping point after which nothing we can do will set things right. The IEA said much the same thing, pointing out that, based on those fossil-fuel projects already under construction or planned, the planet is poised for irreversible damage in just five years. I haven't mentioned the frightening takes of the Pentagon and the CIA about different kinds of threats from global warming. Think war, mass immigration, famine and disease. Scary stuff.

Gingrich: "I think it would be fair to say that I am open-minded and certainly not prepared to spend trillions of dollars over a theory."

At first glance, the two warming periods from the last century appear identical. Yet one is due to natural variability and the other clearly has the fingerprint of humans on it. If you can pass this test, you are ready to collect millions in climate fraud money confiscated from taxpayers.
