“People, if they begin to lose their wealth, they change their mind real fast, I’ve found,” Tyson stated. “Particularly in a capitalist culture.” He's 100% correct in his conclusion, but 100% wrong in his interpretation of the cause. Killing energy, real energy, in the name of "global warming" hysteria, is a sure way to cause civilization to lose wealth. People are not going to like that.
