Sanity Squad: Imminent Overreaction The IPCC report on climate change calls for drastic cuts in CO2 emissions. How do we figure out if such measures are necessary—and what would be the costs of making an error in either direction? Has “Chicken Little left the barnyard?” This hot topic, and the efforts in the MSM and Congress to rein Bush in on Iran in this week’s Sanity Squad.

At 24 minutes into the podcast, Siggy of the blog "Sigmund, Carl, and Alfred" noted, "The real nightmare scenario for all these environmental nazis would be someone coming up with a solution."
That this really is their nightmare was given away years ago when cold fusion seemed a real possibility. Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich fumed that inexhaustible, clean energy would be "like giving a machine gun to an idiot child." Jeremy Rifkin chimed in with, "It's the worst thing that could happen to our planet."
(See A Free-Market Environmental Vision by Fred L. Smith, Jr., and Kent Jeffreys, in the book Market Liberalism: A Paradigm for the 21st Century, Ed Crane and David Boaz, editors.)
Today Ehrlich and Rifkin, who between them have predicted five of the last zero global mass-starvation famines, are bawling that fossil fuel use is causing a new "worst thing that could happen to our planet": global warming.
