If the rats prevail; be afraid. Be very afraid.
I don’t think that they will. There is a large voting block of fortysome year olds who remember the ‘coming ice age’ from the 1970’s. Back then well meaning people (like me) believed in the integrity of scientists. Now many of us know that scientists too can be as easily bought as a two dollar whore or journalist. (Sorry to insult prostitutes by comparing them to journalists).
Same dance this time, even some of the frauds are the same (James Hansen used his witch doctor like climate model to predict the ice age). The only difference is that this time a lot of us won’t be fooled.
