The Political Alarmist’s Flip-Flop

Cal Thomas

Syndicated Columnist


September 28, 2009

Here is a story you will love. President Obama's science advisor, John Holdren, wrote a book in 1971 in which he warned us of the likelihood of global cooling and a new ice age.

Now he's on the other side, promoting the fiction of global warming. Holdren made the charts and graphs for Al Gore's propaganda film, "An Inconvenient Truth," which Gore to this day refuses to debate with anyone else. That's what cult leaders do. You must put complete faith in them. There is no room for doubt, much less any information that might lead the followers in another direction.

Look up Holdren's writings. They are contained in an essay called "Global Ecology: Readings toward a Rational Strategy for Man."

John Holdren is an alarmist. There are many people like him, constantly squawking that doom is upon us. They make quite a nice living at it, but now he has the power to do something about it. He and the administration must be stopped.

Political columnist, Cal Thomas, criticizes an Obama Science Advisor John Holdren for changing his mind on global warming. In 1971 Holdren wrote of the possibility of a coming ice age. 38 years later Holdren advises that global warming is a major problem. Thomas castigates Holdren for flip-flopping on the issue. In his political calculus, there is something terrible about a scientist who comes to a different conclusion 38 years later after a massive amount of data has been collected and thousands of studies done, almost all pointing in the same direction. Indeed, from a scientifuc point of view, it is Thomas and other policiians who stay anchored to their knowledge of 38 years ago desoite all the studies and data. You cannot accuse them of being flip floppers.

Thomas's thinking is in line with most politiicans, liberal or conservative. But there is another view. See http://scriptamus.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/flip-flop-political-vice-scientific-virtue/
