The recent outpouring of life-lessons from fifth graders and their school-teachers leads some of us to wonder how these young people will remember, after 20 or 30 years has gone by, their youthful advice to us all. We might do well to consider this thoughtful comment on climate change, a few years ago, by Prof. Richard Lindzen of MIT:
“Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.”
