Shaking off old climate lies for the new year
By Vijay Jayaraj
As we embark on a new year, our hopes and aspirations are renewed even as the specter of a climate doomsday purportedly looms over us.
The predicted apocalypse being a falsehood, we are called upon in this season of joy and love to forgive the fear-mongers perpetrating it. These would include policymakers, news reporters, and activists who are either ill informed or cynically manipulative.
So here’s to a fresh start for 2024. Let’s embrace forgiveness but also resolve to resist fear engendered by misinformation and hyperbole with the truth.
We’ll start with temperature predictions generated by computer models that have long served as a basis for fabricating a scary future. Crafted by a multitude of scientists worldwide, these numerous models — carrying the imprimatur of the United Nations — provide data that have been the source of hyperbolic headlines, hysterical protests, destructive public policies, and high energy prices. There have even been shortages of fuel, electricity, and food.
Yet the models themselves are fundamentally flawed, exaggerating the influence of CO2 on Earth’s temperature.
