Since 1989, there’s been no significant change in the public’s concern level over global warming. To put this in perspective, note that the most expensive public-relations campaign in history—one that includes most governmental agencies, a long list of welfare-sucking corporations, the public school system, the universities, an infinite parade of celebrities, think tanks, well-funded environmental groups and an entire major political party—has, over the past 25 years or so, increased the number of Democrats who “worry greatly” about global warming by a mere four percentage points.

The New Zealand Greens happily retweeted that Costa Rica had not used a drop of fossil fuels for 75 days.
My first experiences with the environmental movement was through their opposition to the building of dams in south-west Tasmania. Maybe they have rehabilitated dams as a permissible energy source?
