Williams on bogus science

“(Global warming) is bogus science. In earlier periods, I believe around 1400 or 1500, the earth was warming much faster than it is today, and you wonder what kind of cars they were driving then. They probably weren’t putting many refrigerants into the air either. And (the fuss about urban sprawl) is an attack on our 5th Amendment guarantees (against seizure of property). Many cities have high crime rates and rotten schools, so people are voting with their feet and leaving the cities. There are people around who want to stop this process, so, of course, they want to control where we live. I think that is something all Americans should fight against. It is starting out now just as talk, but talk if not repudiated, leads to actions that are to the detriment of most Americans.” Walter E. Williams, chairman of the economics dept George Mason University, Fairfax VA, and writer and commentator, interviewed in ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE NEWS, Feb 2000.
