“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.”
