OPINION:
In the time of Galileo, all the scientists believed the world was flat. Now a large number of contemporary scientists believe global warming is substantially man-caused. In this case, too, time no doubt will settle the matter. But as of now, global warming remains a very bad bet, threatening economic ruin as part of a new, modern cult. It is a dangerous offshoot of what Winston Churchill called “mankind’s most precious possession,” ethical monotheism.
