“Scientists in the global warming alarmist camp have begun to change their tune. They are now telling us that the earth is likely to cool for a few decades before entering a prolonged period of rapid warming. This is an astounding admission; they have essentially demolished the manmade global warming theory…. Alarmists are finally conceding the main argument of global warming skeptics: Other forces—particularly solar variations—overwhelm the greenhouse effect. It’s time to focus on those other factors instead of obsessing over CO2.” In “Cap-and-Trade Update” (792 words), adjunct faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College—Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson—explains that, “in spite of the strategic retreat of scientists unable to deny earth’s present cooling trend and the dim prospects for a strong international agreement in December, Congress may still pass C&T [cap-and-trade] legislation.” In his latest op-ed, Dr. Hendrickson explains why, “To the chagrin of anti-capitalist greens on the left and free-market economists on the right, C&T could end up being the most expensive corporate welfare bill in history.”
