Much is to be learned
from how tobacco supporters challenged the unequivocal science on the dangers
of the drug.
Climate change is equally unequivocally true and so those
who advocate action to mitigate the difficulty need to take their lead from
what happened in that protracted controversy.
A story published in The
Hill headed: “What can tobacco teach us about climate change policy?”
points to those similarities, including comments such as “the science is not
settled on this”.
“Fortunately, science has a way of winning out in the long
run, when scientists largely agree as they do on these issues,” it reports.
