Dice Anne Applebaum che gli evocatori dell’apocalisse climatica non fanno un buon servizio alla causa ambientalista.

I should stop here and point out that I enthusiastically support renewable energy, believe strongly in the imposition of a carbon tax, and am furthermore convinced that a worldwide shift away from fossil fuels would have hugely positive geopolitical consequences, even aside from the environmental benefits. It’s true that I’m not crazy about the Kyoto climate-negotiation process, of which the Copenhagen meeting is the latest stage. But I’m even more disturbed by the apocalyptic as well as the anti-human prejudices of the climate change movement, some of which do indeed filter down to children as young as 9.
