Global Warming Zealots Invade California’s University System :: Fox&Hounds

Not only do incoming university students—or their parents–have tuition increases, fee increases, more years in school to complete their degrees to look forward to, now they will get the pleasure of paying one way or another for carbon offsets or costly emissions reductions.

There may be one consolation – at least the professors and students who’ve clamored for tougher climate control measures will get a real lesson in the economics of environmental edicts.

The dilemma is this: If anthropogenic global warming is a real concern, and we do nothing, we could all suffer unpleasant consequences which, as has often been noted, will inevitably fall hardest upon the poor. But if we act when there is no significant reason for concern, we would commit ourselves to a hugely expensive program of eliminating fossil fuels to correct a problem we do not have, a program which would also cause many serious hardships. Once again, the hardships would fall most heavily on the poor. What this means is that scientists have a very significant moral obligation to get things right, to be unswayed by political pressure, cultural status, funding opportunities, reluctance to admit error, or even a too facile acceptance by many of the research done by only a few. This scientific certainty does not yet exist, and probably cannot yet exist. Moreover, given current flat temperature trends and the recent periodic decline in sun spot activity (a new topic, but one that seems to correlate very strongly with temperature change on earth), it is likely that the next ten years will tell us a good deal more.
