Two months ago I blogged about the energy and carbon tax differences between the UK and the US and why lowering carbon emissions will be extremely expensive for everyone. Carbon emissions are still rising across EU even though carbon tax rates are far higher than in the US.
Last week the Guardian newspaper wrote to the London-based Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), a think tank similar to AEI, and suggested that it retract (virtually burn) the few publications it had published on climate change going back to 1994. The 1994 publication was one I co-authored and was discussed in the blog link above. The IEA sensibly declined their request. For an allegedly major publication like the Guardian to stoop to calling serious publications from a respectable think tank “climate denial” on parallel with Nazi apologists is both sickening and worrying.
The Guardian hasn’t been a newspaper for a long time on environmental issues. It’s an activist publication masquerading as a serious publication. But even then, it’s almost as if the Guardian doesn’t think it can win a policy debate with argument alone. It needs its opponents’ arguments silenced.
