Haglund writes, "Hulett takes Shellenberger’s word as truth rather than the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which is an internationally accepted authority on climate change composed of hundreds of climate experts, and its work is widely agreed upon by leading climate scientists as well as governments. On the other hand, Shellenberger is a former public relations professional who graduated with a bachelor's degree in global studies and now claims to be a climate expert."
Holz writes, "Michael Shellenberger is not a scientist, much less a prominent scientist. Shellenberger is an author and a lobbyist with a master’s degree in anthropology."
Hulett writes, "Instead of unilaterally killing America with climate anxiety, let’s require unconditionally that the “we” includes every other nation taking exactly the same actions at exactly the same time. No coal burned in the USA – no coal burned anywhere else. Natural gas and oil use restricted in the USA – gas and oil use equally restricted everywhere else."
"Just as we understood back in the 1950s, nuclear war between any adversary and the United States would most likely escalate and destroy both," writes InForum columnist Mike Hulett.
