Misunderstanding Global Warming: Alexander Cockburn versus Global Warming.
By Dr. Michael P Byron (about the author) Page 3 of 3 page(s)
Rather, my take is that Cockburn is in denial. The magnitude of the problems facing humanity, and the consequent possible future of our civilization is so bleak, that it is far easier to deny this reality. Yet that is the worst possible course of action to take if humanity is to have a positive future. I encourage Mr. Cockburn, along with everyone else who feels similarly, to open your eyes.
I am the author of a recently released book which was written for just this purpose. It is entitled Infinity’s Rainbow: The Politics of Energy, Climate and Globalization. Several months ago I e-mailed Mr. Cockburn to inquire if he would like a copy. He responded that he would, so I sent him one. So in closing, I’d like to address a personal note to Mr. Cockburn: Please go back and read (or re-read) this book.
