Global Warning

"GLOBAL WARMING" IS A GRAB FOR POWER

Although Sowell's article was interesting reading and had some good points in it, for me, it did not support its conclusion. That is that Washington wants to scare the population about Global Warming, so it can expand its power in answer to society's demand to "fix" the problem.

First, let us examine his reasons. He uses the analogy of Paulov's dog to suggest we have been conditioned to respond in a fearful way to the phrase Global Warming. It is true that we have heard this phrase from time to time but, 1) It does not seem to generate any more emotion than did the Global Cooling in the 1970's, that Sowell make mention of in his essay, and 2) Sowell doesn't support with evidence the government as the source for the repeated exposure of the Global Warming phrase to the public. In fact, Sowell's essay generally attributes the proponents of this phrase to scientists. Although scientist may be utilized by government to address various bio-phycho-social problems they are not necessarily the government per se. They can be independent researchers employed by special interest or private, for profit or non-profit, businesses.

Sowell also refers to computer models as being the tool


He tries to draw a connection between the computer models predicting economic disaster in the 1970's with the greenhouse gas models. This is a straw man because they have nothing to do with each other. It also does not address the possibility that a possible reason the 70's predictions did not come true, is that the models may have motivated the government to address the problem and prevent it.

orchestrating the hysteria about Global Warming. Again, I ask what hysteria? Also the word "orchestrating" is very ambiguous. In this case, it most probably means conducting or leading, but computers are not objects you play like instruments, they are tools for compiling and communicating information. He even makes reference to "garbage in, garbage out". However, the fallacy is assuming the information that is going in is put there by the government and that it is "garbage". A just as reasonable assertion can be that the information used to create the computer models was done by objective researchers and that the information is valid.

His icing on the cake is the statement; "we can't wait", by the advocates of Global Warming. His assertion is this is evidence that the Government is trying to expand its controls. This is a non sequiter of the worse degree. The statement could mean just what it says. It could very well mean that if the information is true we cannot afford to not address it. It in fact may prove not to be true, but either way it does not necessarily show evidence of some conspiracy on the government's part.
