Cooling the Climate Hysteria

Cooling the Climate Hysteria

“Cooling the Climate Hysteria: Separating Fact from Fiction” is an anthology of Heritage Foundation Special Reports and Backgrounders that examine the alarmist rhetoric from a variety of angles. The overwhelming evidence—presented throughout this book—shows that, although climate change is indeed occurring, the alarmist rhetoric about the issue is vastly overstated. As a result, there is little to no basis for regulating carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions, especially when considered within the broader context of how affordable and reliable energy is fundamentally important for a well-functioning society.

Cooling the Climate Hysteria: Separating Fact from Fiction

The overwhelming evidence is clear. Although climate change is indeed occurring, the issue is not nearly as catastrophic as the mainstream media portrays. As a result, lawmakers have little to no basis for massively regulating energy—one of the most critical sectors of the American economy.
