CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FRAME OF MIND………

Future generations will look back at this one and scratch their heads.

WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS A MORAL CRUSADE IN SEARCH OF A SCIENTIFIC THEORY

Thomas Kuhn, in his classic book on the structure of scientific revolutions, points out how difficult scientific paradigms are to shift. He suggests they become even more so when there is a moral element involved.

I will suggest that projected catastrophic man-made climate change is less a scientific theory with a moral element than a moral crusade that has recruited a scientific theory.

The great global warming fandango is – at root — the latest example of politically expedient demonization of the capitalist system. First let me provide some background on how I came to this issue, and pay tribute to a very important academic advisor to the GWPF: David Henderson.

Two of David’s works — his Reith lectures, Innocence and Design, and his book, The Role of Business in the Modern World – were both inspirational for my own recent book: Why We Bite the Invisible Hand.

  1. There are thousands and thousands of weather stations in the worlds, every airport has one and that takes care of the bulk of them. In the early days of flight, to fly you needed a weather station. Whilst there has been a lot of urban growth in the last 60 years, none has been more explosive than that at airports, miles of fields turned into miles of heat absorbing tarmac for parking and runways. Make sure that every tree approaching the runways is chopped down. Spew out more CO2 than anywhere else in the country and then pontificate : woe you sinners, we are reading the entrails and they read doom. Repent.
