According to this report,

.

I am not saying the earth does not get colder or warmer. Of course it does.
It just seemed when the data suggested the earth might be cooling, the phrase “global warming’ was out and the phrase “climate change” was in.

I’ve just spent two weeks reading everything that our Science Czar John Holdren has ever written. He too has almost comically “gone with the flow” when it comes to “climate change.”

First, he predicted that the climate wouldn’t get hotter or colder, merely that the weather patterns around the globe would shift — to everyone’s detriment, naturally.

Then he speculated that all the pollutants in the upper atmosphere may cause so much cooling that they would cause a “modern Ice Age.”

Now he says that global warming is so insanely itnense and critical that within a matter of decades we are all DOOMED unless we “de-develop” western civilization and go back to a more primitive lifestyle.

Given his astronomically incorrect guarantees about the population explosion, and his earlier sure-as-shooting guarantees about various other kinds of climate changes, I have utterly no faith in any pronouncement he makes now.

Whatever latest doom-and-gloom science fad is hip at the moment, he jumps in with both feet. When it is later proved to be an embarrassment, he simply moves on to the next one, and never backtracks or apologizes.

And when you consider that this guy is the one who made the charts for “An Inconvenience Truth” — i.e. he’s the one who supplied all the original stats upon which the current hysteria is based — well, excuse me if my skepticism meter goes haywire.
