My comment at the site:
> Climate alarmism 101.
> Facts are different. Countries have become more able to counter environmental problems when they have become rich. And they have become rich by market forces, not by dirigisme. This holds for China as well as the U.S. Consider: there is now 14% more green on the earth than in 1989 (NASA satellite data); carbon emissions have been trending down for some time; the reason for lower carbon emisssions is technology improvements, natural gas replacing coals, etc, not government mandates; the Great Extinction is debunked. IOW, all of Nair's statements are questionable and meant -- by his own admission -- to scare us!

Club of Rome, from the fifties or sixties, which published some widely spread but wildly inaccurate scare stories about our climate and food security. They said we were in for perpetual famines just before the Green Revolution gave so much food we throw away a third of it.
