Columnist George Will spreads misinformation about climate change

Last Sunday’s column by George Will (“Not the right climate for a climate change treaty” in the print edition) is just one in a long series of pieces by Mr.Will that try to perpetuate myths against the science of global warming (global climate destabilization is a more correct term).

If one researches the “Climate Cooling” theory of the 1970s, one finds that it was promoted as a possibility by a small portion of the scientific community (there was much less data on global temperatures available then), all of which recommended that it needed more study. It was however, picked up and exaggerated by the popular press.

The consensus in the scientific community on climate change is now overwhelming. Mr. Will’s continuation of the mythology against what is the most serious issue to ever confront humankind, does humanity a great disservice.

His previous articles against compact fluorescent light bulbs and other energy conservation and renewable energy technologies show an alarming trend of misinformation emanating from Mr. Will’s mouth.

Surely, Ann Arbor.com can find a more responsible Op-Ed writer to fill this space, one who can separate fact from fiction and provide information not misinformation. A blank page might be more educational.
