Too Smart To Be That Dumb
May 30, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

On Fox News, analyst Jonathan Hoenig argued that global warming is an invention of environmentalists who are afraid of economic progress and industrial development. He states:
There’s no scientific proof that global warming even exists. To be honest, it’s a bogus consensus dreamed up by Greens because they hate industry. They hate advancement. They hate technology…Greens will lead us back to the stone ages.
And people like him will lead us to the graveyard. The reality is that hundreds, if not thousands, of trained and respected scientists have acknowledged the existence of global warming. Even more telling, no refereed science journal article in the last 25 years has challenged the idea. Not one!
It’s amazing how the Left is dismissed as crazy and paranoid when they point to obvious connections between the Bush Administration and various personal, corporate, and military interests, yet the same rules fail to apply when people on the Right dismiss legitimate evidence in favor of a weak conspiracy theory.
My worry is that this type of claim will serve as a red herring that would take us away from necessary conversations about environmental responsibilty from big business.
