Climate fear 1

Maybe you noticed that recently some celebrities are publishing books that seem to deny a cause they used to believe in. Today's post is about a climate environmentalist who did that. 

Michael Shellenberger does have Climate (global warming) credibility. Back in 2008 Time magazine named him a hero of the environment. 

But now he is apologizing for scaring people: On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.

About half the people surveyed believe that climate change is going to lead to extinction of human beings, all because of fear tactics used by climate change activists according to Shellenberger.

He wrote an article summarizing his argument and published it in Forbes magazine. Forbes left it up for a day, Sunday, and then took it down. Why?
