An Australian author is tackling the U.S. government and Hollywood in his latest book.
Ian Plimer is the author of Heaven and Earth: Global Warming - The Missing Science. As the United States Senate gears up for a debate on cap and trade, Plimer contends that there has been no scientific debate on the issue, and that is what he hopes to generate with his book. Hollywood, he says, has been interested in promoting climate alarmism because of the sensationalism. "Hollywood is following the fads and the fashions. Hollywood often puts out films that frighten us witless," he contends. "And now they are following an issue that frightens us witless. [With] this issue, of course, they cannot use any science to back this up. But Hollywood can see that this is a great, sensational event they can get involved in -- and they are." Plimer notes that in the past, the earth has gone through drastic climate changes and humans have adapted accordingly. Australia has had some success in fighting their version of cap and trade and encourages Americans to consider the enormous cost of such legislation. Some opponents have stated that cap and trade could cost the average American thousands of dollars per year in extra energy costs.
