Last week, it was widely reported that the United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change made some very newsworthy adjustments to its modeling. Its doomsday model had breathlessly foretold of 4 to 5 degree warming by the year 2100, causing massive crop failures, rising seas swallowing cities and land, the end of glaciers, the extinction of the polar bear, and unimagined death and destruction. The predictions have truly terrified tens of millions – while costing taxpayers all over the world hundreds of billions of dollars.
