Wisdom seems frequently to come from unexpected corners. The following article, by Julian Kenny writing for the Trinidad and Tobago Express, offers refreshing realism about the IPCC and global warming hysteria.

And here is my letter to the editor in response to Mr. Kenny's article:
I would like to offer my thanks and congratulations to Julian Kenny for using reason and experience as a scientist to question the current dangerous fad of global warming alarmism. Mr. Kenny exposes flaws in the science and the politics of the UN global warming cult which are so deep that it's shocking anyone believes the IPCC report. The next logical step in Mr. Kenny's analysis would be to expose the economy-destroying costs of the alarmists' policy proposals, some of which are impractical and the rest of which are impossible. Al Gore and his ilk are not "friends of the earth"; they are enemies of freedom and supporters of government control of everything under the sun. They are using a gullible public to implement plans designed to benefit the unions and anti-free trade groups which fund them. Indeed, global warming alarmism poses the single biggest threat to the world's economy, something which people who live in an export-based economy like Trinidad and Tobago's should be especially concerned about and especially determined to fight against.
