Dear Rep. Shimkus and Senators Boxer and Vitter,
CBS Boston reports on the proposed Massachusetts plan to minimize the supposed ravages of climate change (global warming).
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and others painted a dire picture of what global warming might do to its citizens. He has developed a plan to use $40 million to help cities and towns in Massachusetts shore up the power supply and $10 million to protect the coast from rising sea levels.
,MIT Professor Richard Lindzen, who is a leading international expert on climate change, was interviewed by WBZ-TV. Lindzen endorses sensible preparedness and environmental protection, but sees what he terms “catastrophism” in the climate change horror stories.
He said, “Global warming, climate change, all these things are just a dream come true for politicians. The opportunities for taxation, for policies, for control, for crony capitalism are just immense, you can see eyes bulge”
“Even many of the people who are supportive of sounding the global warning alarm, back off from catastrophism,” Lindzen said. “It’s the politicians and the green movement that like to portray catastrophe.”
