Climate Change -- Where The Experts Make Fools Of Themselves
March 10, 2026/ Francis Menton
Much has been written recently about the death of expertise in America. On one subject after another, those claiming to be experts have proved to be completely wrong. Covid provided multiple examples: from the origins (did it come from a lab leak?), to the efficacy of vaccines, to the necessity of lockdowns and “social distancing.” Another famous example was the Hunter Biden laptop, stated by 50+ “experts” from the intelligence community to carry “the classic earmarks” of “Russian disinformation.”
But has there been any area where self-proclaimed experts have more made fools of themselves than the area of “climate change”?
A multi-trillion dollar industry has grown up based on models and assurances by “experts” that there was a “climate crisis” that could only be solved by transition to a new energy future of windmills and solar panels. The government would just order it to occur! President Joe Biden and his administration totally bought into the narrative. One of Biden’s first-day Executive Orders (Number 14008, January 20, 2021) proclaimed the “climate crisis” to which the solution would be found in an “all of government” agenda to transform the energy system.
