Richard Lindzen on Climate Change
What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO2 from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world – that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.
Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.

This is a very cogent and accurate statement. Unfortunately I may not live to see it but it will certainly be apparent I believe before 2030.
One day our leaders will tire of the unfounded fear that drives their irrational reactions, retire, and new talent will begin the job of repairing the damage we are presently doing.
