Climaatistas Inflame Campaign of Fear
Item: A New York Times article for June 13 reported in its lede that between “60 and 90 percent of the world’s fresh water is frozen in the ice sheets of Antarctica, a continent roughly the size of the United States and Mexico combined. If all that ice melted, it would be enough to raise the world’s sea levels by roughly 200 feet. While that won’t happen overnight, Antarctica is indeed melting,” said the paper, citing a Nature study that “shows that the melting is speeding up.”
Item: “More than 20 nations ranging from Germany, France and Britain to Pacific island states said on Thursday they planned to ‘lead from the front’ in setting new, tougher goals by 2020 to cut greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris climate agreement,” according to Reuters for June 21.
Item: A piece by Justin Gillis in the New York Times for June 23, entitled (online) “A Prophet of Doom Was Right About the Climate,” sang the praises of James Hansen, the former director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, who testified 30 years earlier in Washington. At the time, Hansen warned that global warming — subsequently dubbed “climate change” — was here and would get worse.
