Letter: Scare tactics

To the editor:

Desperation has set in at the Paris Climate Change Conference. The climate activists became the deniers and they are appealing to God (the people of faith) to help them “convince” humanity to save itself and the planet.

The climate change supporters know, in some cases, their claims and evidence are tainted with inaccuracies, outright falsehoods, contrivance and amateurish scare tactics. Thus they are afraid if anyone presents facts contrary to theirs, their case will fall apart and they won’t get the scope of agreement in Paris they are seeking. Thus, they are on a rampage trying to deny opposing views from being heard.

First, they demanded the U.N. revoke the credentials of so-called “disingenuous climate deniers” in Paris. They were concerned they might derail a treaty in Paris. Additionally, activists objected to showing a movie in Paris titled “Climate Hustle,” which they hadn’t seen.

Second, The AP ran a story titled: “Scientists enlist the big gun to get climate action: faith.” Physicist John Schellnhuber is hoping Pope Francis’ encyclical calling global warming a moral issue will energize the interfaith community, feeling the world’s faithful are watching and will hold world leaders accountable.

Many of the faithful are not buying the pope’s encyclical because of their own investigations.

Also recently, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has suggested using the RICO Laws to prosecute global warming skeptics.

What can cause such desperation? Lack of public majority support, because the compelling evidence against climate change is overwhelming the weakness of the case for climate change.
