Well, without fear you can't bring in a global carbon market that benefits corporations while cutting off spending to individuals that have hit their 'carbon limit.'

When I was growing up in the 70's the climate fear pR0n was about the impending ice age. There's always something that has to be a crises - otherwise these media types wouldn't be able to drive eyeballs to their stories.

The people who pushed that story in the 70s should be ashamed, considering there was more evidence to support a warming theory than a cooling one, even then. Alternatively, they might be pleased if it was some kind of intentional misinformation.
Just think, a group of 5 year olds will have a career as journalists writing the exact same articles about climate change in 20 years, just like a group of now 40 year olds did when they were 25, 15 years ago.
