Is the global warming hysteria starting to unravel? Thomas Sowell writes here about the recent British documentary that argues that the “crisis” in global warming is just a big swindle. Maybe the manufactured “consensus” that people are ruining the planet and need to obey strict, governmentally-imposed rules to avoid catastrophe will be like the 2004 story about GWB and the National Guard.

Mencken was so right when he wrote that politics is all about creating “an endless series of hobgoblins” to frighten people into seeking safety by electing the politicians who really care. This is a perfect example.
