Who
are the Merchants of Fear?
o response is more predictable than
the reflexive squawk of the Greenhouse fearmongers that anyone
questioning their claims is in the pay of the energy companies.
A second, equally predictable retort contrasts the ever-diminishing
number of agnostics to the growing legions of scientists now
born again to the "truth" that anthropogenic CO2 is
responsible for the earth's warming trend, the melting of the
icecaps, the rising of the seas, the increase in hurricanes,
the decline in penguin fertility and other horrors too numerous
for individual citation.
