Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.

Many of the alarmists on global warming, they've got a problem because the science doesn't back them up.

When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves.

Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It's too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts.

How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science.

As this body of knowledge has evolved, a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action.

Much of today's public anxiety about science is the apprehension that we may forever be overlooking the whole by an endless, obsessive preoccupation with the parts.

Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.

Admittedly, I possess virtually no expertise in science. That puts me in exactly the same position as most dogmatic environmentalists who want to craft public policy around global warming fears.

I think any thinking person should be worried about climate change.
