When bad news contains incorrect scientific information it can be far worse than having no news at all -- often leading to horror, hysteria and panic. And if news reports appear to be scientifically sound but are, in fact, not true, then the results can be disastrous. Climate change is an issue that is fraught with dangerous scientific inaccuracies. Not only is widespread panic possible, but governments across the world are currently being pressured into adopting questionable policies meant to address climate change. The truth is that even though climate change is poorly understood, restrictive laws are being passed in the name of preventing global warming that are having immediate negative side effects for people and economies -- while having very little impact on global warming itself. In order to avoid bad policies -- and mass hysteria -- it is important to understand the flimsy science behind the arguments advanced by global warming alarmists.
