Robert Frank looks at what he sees as the more popular myths of the climate-change deniers and demolishes each one. Here are the myths:
Myth 1: The enormous uncertainty of climate science argues for a wait-and-see strategy.
Myth 2: Slowing the pace of climate change would be prohibitively difficult.
Myth 3: A carbon tax would destroy jobs.
Myth 4: The cost of reducing CO2 emissions would be prohibitively high.
Myth 5: It’s pointless for Americans to reduce CO2emissions, since unilateral action won’t solve global warming.
Myth 6: Penalizing greenhouse gas emissions would violate people’s freedom.
