I make it a point not to make my readers the object of anger, as it is their tastes and ideas that should govern what is written on this blog. But I do notice that whenever I write about climate change, reads and comments drop off a cliff.
I am going to guess at why: There is a general disinterest in climate change in the public, with it typically finishing 15th or 16th in polls asking what matters most to people. That is reflected in readership here. That is the reality I must deal with, and my choice is to 1) adopt the same indifference to the matter, 2) continue on as before, or 3) lecture you about it.
Mr. Kehr seemingly wrote this book (2011) and then walked off the face of the earth. He’s not on YouTube, makes no public appearances, doesn’t Google well. Maybe (guessing) he opted not to engage the propaganda and madness that is the Climate Change movement. Maybe he did not want to endure personal attacks from people less knowledgeable than him. Maybe he just doesn’t suffer fools well.
Prior to discussing the Streisand Effect, I am reminded of radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger, heard on weekdays on SiriusXM channel 111. She is currently 75 years old and going strong. Back before the proliferation of Sirius channels she was usually heard on AM radio. The program was very popular. Even as I was a liberal at the time, and her advice very conservative, I liked her and had very little trouble with her advice, which was stern, sensible and straightforward.
