Is the Internet a real and useful invention, which makes many new things possible? Yes.

So therefore, we should have invested in every dot.com bubble stock available in 1999? No.

That's the difference between fact and mass hysteria.

The mass hysteria and the overselling of every anecdote that supports catastrophic warming is right up there with the dot.com bubble, along with the suppression of every anecdote that doens't support it. And for the same basic reason - suppression of healthy scepticism. In the first case from greed, in the second from fear and lust for power.
