I want to congratulate my colleagues both on this blog site and at the John Locke Foundation and Carolina Journal. Over the last few weeks the eco scare mongers and the climate McCarthyites at various blogs and web sites have seen fit to attack the John Locke Foundation and individuals within the organization, including myself, for our position on global warming. What is particularly gratifying about these attacks is that they do not even attempt to refute our arguments. To be sure if this could be easily done it would be. Instead there is ridicule, personal attacks, and “investigative reports” on where we get our funding. This is all the kind of thing that people do when they can’t touch your actual arguments. We have put out dozens of articles related to the topic and the policies being promoted in North Carolina, including this wonderful guide to the science for North Carolinians by Joel Schwartz, and the substance of it remains in tact. If we have ever needed proof that we’re right on our facts and our logic this is it. Keep up the good work.
