Hysteria's History: Environmental Alarmism in Context
PRI Study
By: Amy Kaleita, Ph.D, Gregory R. Forbes
9.27.2007
Listening to the global-warming alarmists, one gets the idea that humanity faces a critical and certain danger from the rising global temperature, which will raise sea levels and swamp major cities, reduce arable land to desert, impoverish billions, and end civilization as we know it. One might further be convinced that the only means of heading off this catastrophe is to implement draconian restrictions on human activity of all kinds, from industrial production, to pleasant Sunday drives, to the most basic exercises of entrepreneurial freedom. The line between reversible phenomenon and inevitable doom is about to be crossed, say the alarmists, and only the venal and the blind deny the awful truth.
