If global temperatures are not rapidly rising, why do so many government agencies and companies keep sounding the global warming alarm? Larry Bell, author of the new book Climate of Corruption, offers this explanation: “Unwarranted climate fear is promoted to support arguments against developing our plentiful oil and natural gas reserves, driving up the cost of fossil-fuels and making the less-efficient and more costly ‘green’ energy options more attractive. Government agencies have corrupted the scientific process by commissioning studies with foregone conclusions. In the end, consumers pay more while environmental organizations and alternative energy lobbies gain massive amounts of corrupt profits.”
