Cold Winters Mean Global Warming? In What World?

Julian Zelizer : Cold winters , especially record-setting ones, mean that the planet may not be warming, as global warming alarmists insist.

Zelizer says climate change alarmists merely changed the name from “global warming” to “climate change” Zelizer asks.

He says climate prognostications are costly, involving laws, rules, regulations, taxes, and prosecutions, which cost billions of dollars that could be better spent elsewhere.

Federal funding is a zero -sum game, meaning that if they fund something more, something else will be funded less.

Incentives are fine up to a point, but they should be focused on emerging technologies.

Wind and solar energy are well-established technologies that shouldn’t be subsidized.

Advanced societies cannot function with a fickle and unreliable energy supply.
