A global warming scientist urges the fearful and the fear-inducing to calm down and pay attention to the science.

Money Q:

"My concern is that we may be moving away from an irrational lack of concern about climate change to an equally irrational panic about it.

"Many of my colleagues ask, "What's the problem? Hasn't it been a good thing to raise public concern?" The problem is that in this panic we are going to spend our money unwisely, we will take actions that are counterproductive, and we will fail to do many of those things that will benefit the environment and ourselves."
