Gwynne Dyer's Dec. 7 article, "Four harsh truths about climatic change," is a great piece of fluffery. The article claims "scientists are scared." Which scientists? Where? All I see is the blathering of resident hacks who have taken a flawed model and extrapolated made-up "facts" to suit a political agenda.
Climate happens, get over it. Where is the evidence of military planning? As for food shortages, the last warming age created the greatest explosion of arable land ever. This is the same claptrap we heard about the "Y2K" problem before 2000, and the same conclusions were reached: Unless we do something to change our lives, to drastically stop human progress, to make climate change or whatever into a global crisis, how will we ever have global government? Get a clue — read something other than that from Al Gore and then come back and write about reality.
