In his June 28 column, “State could remedy embarrassing legacies,” Thomas Gelsthorpe predictably finds a way to include denial of anthropogenic climate change.
Nearly as reliable as sunrise and sunset, this is a constant refrain, one backed up by a diverse group of deniers, many of whom may be strangers to the general public.
Well-known in the denier community, Eric Karlstrom is an oft-cited figure whose status as a professor of geography somehow lends additional weight to his refusal to acknowledge man’s contribution to climate change. Now retired, Karlstrom contributes to numerous conspiracy theory websites and frequently appears on broadcasts warning of gang stalking, the singularity and Agenda 21. Karlstrom has written extensively about what he calls “the hoax of 911,” which he denounces as “a myth and a fraud planned and carried out by top-level military and intelligence agencies in the U.S., Britain, and Israel.” Sandy Hook, he claims, was staged using actors, and Nikola Tesla was killed by the Pentagon.
Certainly, not all climate change deniers hail from this camp, but they are a significant cohort, and their influence is significant. Perhaps the connection between geography and climate is greater than the one between weather and climate, but I would look elsewhere for an informed opinion.
