Drudge is linking to a column by a weatherman named James Spann, who makes points about the global warming movement — or should I say “industry” — which correspond closely to what I think. I have previously noted that I think that “this whole global warming thing will be regarded by history as one of the more remarkable and costly examples of mass hysteria (far exceeding even the millenium bug nonsense).” And the millenium bug madness is an apt parallel, because it was driven in large part by a whole lot of people who stood to make (and did make) a whole lot of money out of it. Billions. And James Spann observes:

Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady at “The Weather Channel” probably gets paid good money for a prime time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab.

As he also alludes to, the climate has always been in a state of change — some of it cyclical — and it always will be. There is no necessity for critics of the global warming industry to somehow demonstrate that the world’s climate is in a perfectly static state.
