Thus sixteen concerned scientists of renown in The Wall Street Journal, of all places. They are addressing politicians around the world, who are often urged to do something or other about the global threat. The article is worth reading. Its even tone gives additional credence to the argument. In short, the threat of global warming is an invention of some scientists. It is time to stop panicking. More important, it is time to return to business as usual. The only trouble with the argument is that there is hardly any non-scientist who has not noticed that something weird is happening with the climate all around the planet. They are bound to conclude that science is for the birds. Poor birds, too.
