When the North Carolina News Network decided to dig into a new report on climate change by the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the reporter turned to Roy Cordato for comment. Cordato pointed out there are serious scientific questions about whether or not global warming is real. What’s more, if North Carolina accepted the premise that it is, and that the state should do something, the implementation of Kyoto Treaty-like rules would result in an economic loss of $7,249 per year, per household. That translates into a $3.1 billion cost to the state treasury according to the Heartland Institute. NCNN broadcasts to 75 affiliates. On a related matter, Cordato spoke to an NC State environmental law class this week about air quality issues and how to be a smart consumer of environmental information. He used the American Lung Association’s manipulation of air quality data to illustrate how easy it is to be deceived by agenda-driven groups
