Who Benefits?

Mike Rowe asks the obvious question about Climate Science. Cui bono?

Paul Ehrlich was a distinguished evolutionary biologist who spent most of his career at Stanford University. He was also a highly respected environmentalist with all the proper credentials, and a media darling. (Johnny Carson alone had him on over a dozen times.) The Population Bomb was read by millions of people and reprinted no less than 20 times, making it one of the most consequential environmental books of the 20th century. And, just like An Inconvenient Truth, it was complete and total fiction.

Opportunists like Gore and Ehrlich have always been with us and always will be. The most charitable thing we can say about them today is that they were wrong, but I’m not feeling charitable these days. I’m looking instead, for the next grifter who wants to prosper by scaring me about the coming apocalypse, in whatever form it might take.

Are we shocked, that after 20 years, the doom and gloom from An Inconvenient Truth turned out to be wrong?
