Global Warming Hysteria: The Potential for Tyranny
By Wesley J Smith, First Things
The global warming agenda, if enacted, will lead to less freedom, lower prosperity, and higher taxes (as in the EPA taking “command and control” over the economy).

Population and climate change are intertwined but the population issue has remained a blind spot when countries discuss ways to mitigate climate change and slow down global warming, according to Zhao Baige, vice-minister of National Population and Family Planning Commission of China (NPFPC) . “Dealing with climate change is not simply an issue of CO2 emission reduction but a comprehensive challenge involving political, economic, social, cultural and ecological issues, and the population concern fits right into the picture,” said Zhao, who is a member of the Chinese government delegation.
