Sununu Senior uncovers the vast "anti-growth" conspiracy of the phony climate change crisis, and how media are easily duped:
We need to recognize that for at least most of the next decade the real battle will be to win over public opinion and influence the policy makers. Unfortunately, standing between us and the public most of the time is the media. And the press seems to have bought the alarmist line, hook and sinker. They thrive on reinforcing the alarms.
I am often asked about the press. The question is usually something like "is the press biased or ignorant?" My answer is: Yes they are.
Climate scientists meeting in Copenhagen Tuesday warned that sea levels could rise to almost three times that of the official worst-case estimates, threatening hundreds of millions of people.
The landmark 2007 report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that sea levels would rise 18 to 59 centimeters - about 7 to 23 inches - by the end of the century. That would be enough to submerge several small island nations, and would inundate low-lying and densely populated deltas in Africa, East Asia, and on the Indian subcontinent.
But researchers gathered at the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change now say that those estimates are too conservative, that a rise of less than 50 centimeters is unlikely, and that sea levels are likely to rise about one meter.
But I think the real takeaway from Sununu's lengthy diatribe is not that he is a legendary denier of anthropogenic climate change. We already knew that.
I think the real takeaway is the discovery of just how much more passion he appears to show on this hooey than on being the NHGOP chair.
