The left’s politicization of science and climate change for the public
Re “The downside of climate lawsuits? Higher fuel costs” (July 19):
The left’s politicization of science and climate change is getting more and more outrageous. Everyone should read “False Alarm: How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor, and fails to fix the planet,” by Bjorn Lomborg (Basic Books, 2021).
He explains what we should really be doing to address the reasonably solvable problem of climate change instead of using faux science to scare children and help wreck the world’s economies in order to advance the leftist political agenda.
One can also check out what actual climate scientists like MIT’s Richard Lindzen and Georgia Tech’s Judith Curry have had to say about the exaggeration of climate change findings for political purposes. us who value freedom -—isn’t to allow the right government functionary to control us, but to have less government control overall.” So what does Greenhut advocate to achieve this end? “Two of the most significant and praiseworthy new laws that California has approved in years.” Namely, SB 9 and SB 10, two laws that rip the power to control local authority from people who live in those areas and give the power to politicians hundreds of miles away in Sacramento. The very antithesis of the “goal” that Greenhut says he stands for. take the word of Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer of Los Angeles County. who said “that there have been no changes in the transmission levels of COVID-19,” or Barbara Ferrer, a “doctor” who has a doctorate in social welfare? Who should we believe?
