Fox News said its new show, "Stossel," hosted by John Stossel, will premiere Thursday night with global warming the featured topic. Wrote Fox on its website: "Expect Stossel to weigh in on the utter arrogance of the effort. A promise of 83 percent? Not 80 percent? Not 85 percent? And why do the world's leaders want to spend trillions on a theortical problem with millions dying from malnutrition, poor hygiene, and malaria."
The Fox News report said Stossel will interview Jerry Taylor, an energy analyst at the Cato Institute, who will explain that the economic impact of global warming is expected to be fairly minimal. Thirteen published studies have concluded that we may gain or lose about one year of economic growth over the next 100 years. Wrote Fox: "The best energy policy, Stossel says, is the free market: If an energy source is affordable and makes sense economically, then people will buy it."
