“Global Warming for Dummies,” a guide which claims to “sort out fact from fiction” about so-called global climate change, in reality contains numerous biased statements – in some cases advocating the censorship of opinions which differ from those of the authors.
The guide, authored by Elizabeth May of the Green Party of Canada
and Zoë Caron of the Sierra Club of Canada, suggests a wide range
of personal and government solutions to climate change. They take
positions on tax policy, transportation policy, and population growth
while dismissing opposing arguments and telling readers to avoid works
produced by global warming skeptics.
One passage, on page 68, seems to indicate a necessity to reduce fertility
among the world’s women – and that empowered women will
naturally have fewer children.
“Luckily, population growth is slowing and should level off,”
the book says. However, on the same page, May and Caron claim that:
“It all depends on reducing fertility rates, which all depends
on improving the economic, educational, and political status of women.”
