16 Scientists Say: No Need to Panic About Global Warming

With a Great Recession, job loss, a regulatory onslaught, and the prospect of income tax hikes in the near future, there’s plenty to fret about. Thankfully, 16 scientists take to the Wall Street Journal today to warn politicians from throwing good money after bad science in the case of global warming alarmism.

There’s plenty of good material, but here’s the gist:

A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warming.” Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed.

So, take a chill pill — and, politicians, get back to focusing on jobs.
