Who unleashed Climatism?
h/t Gates of Vienna[WattsUpWithThat] This article is intended mostly for American audiences. Today, it seems almost normal that the IPCC, UNFCCC and CAN (Climate Action Network International) interfere in American internal affairs, deciding who are scientists and who are not, telling us how much energy to use and from what sources, and generally sowing discord and polarizing society (with enormous success, I must admit). For more than 30 years, their claims of dangerous global warming caused by CO2 emissions have served as an excuse for this invasion. If there is a "problem," and the "problem" is global and America is its main cause, they reason, why not gang up on America? But the "problem" is imaginary, and has always been imaginary. The readers of this site know that. Serious scientific assessments have never come to alarming conclusions, even when assuming exaggerated climate sensitivity to CO2. So what happened? To answer this question, we need to clearly understand three historical facts: 1) Almost all climate science between 1970 and 1992 was conducted in the USA. 2) Almost all climate politics in the same period originated elsewhere. 3) Climate politics led to climate pseudo-science, not the other way around.
