KEY QUOTES
22 January, 1998
"The global-warming scenario provides advocates of big government with an excuse for tapping into the lifeline of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future."
Source: "No Evidence for Global Warming," 1/22/98

"But satellite measurements haven't shown a comparable trend and, in fact, show a slight cooling in the last 20 years. So while global warming may be a problem, and we should keep studying it, it's too soon to take radical, and expensive, steps.
That's why it's important to have think tanks such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute. For 20 years now, CEI has been dedicated to providing sound science and debunking the myths spread by environmental extremists."
"This summer, millions of Americans will sit in air-conditioned movie theaters and watch a frightening film. But the real risk today isn't global warming -- it's that we'll overreact and damage our economy in an unnecessary attempt to prevent climate change.
Let's hope cooler heads prevail."
