Global Warming Skeptics
August 19, 2007 by Tom Armstrong.
Don Boudreaux of Cafe Hayek writes:
Al Gore, Robert Kennedy Jr., and too many others dismiss the downside of curtailing capitalism in order to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. They write and speak as if the material prosperity that capitalism brings is either not threatened by increased government power, or is of only small importance when compared to the threat of global warming.
Truly reasonable people are, and ought to be, skeptical of each of these dogmas.
I would concur and go further. I suspect that many of our advocates trying to limit global warming are just anti-capitalists masquerading as environmentalists. Read the entire post (hot heads) here. Read the linked-to article (Hot Tempers on Global Warming).
