RICO and Climate Consensus: Putting the Chill on Science, Speech, and Human Flourishing

Forget about the First Amendment, the indispensable role of vigorous debate and testing in the progress of scientific knowledge, the reality of major reversals in science, the tremendous benefits of fossil-fuel-derived energy in lifting and keeping whole societies—and their individual members—out of poverty, disease, and premature death.

The stark contrast between that vision, with its particular understanding of what it means to be human, and the Biblical vision is apparent from the

Energy for the Future

News came Wednesday that German researchers—joined by German President Angela Merkel (herself a scientist)—have turned on an experiment at the Max Planck Institute along the path to nuclear fusion energy. Fusion research has been ongoing for decades, and the scientists at Planck make it clear that this experiment won’t itself generate energy. They anticipate it
