Something Is Rotten in the State of Denmark
“Alas, how many have been persecuted for the wrong of having been right?”
–Jean-Baptiste Say
On Monday, the big Copenhagen climate change conference got under way. I doubt, however, that we’ll hear much about the questionable science being used to argue in favor of increased regulation on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. As Say so profoundly noted, often it’s those who challenge the consensus (in this case, it’s the global warming skeptics challenging the mainstream) that are persecuted for the wrong of being right. I am not a scientist, but I do know a cover up when I see it, and the entire “climategate” scandal is reason enough to think twice before we let bureaucrats from the United Nations alter our industrial civilization.
