Do you hear the drumbeat of war? No, I don’t mean the threat of nuclear war with Iran or North Korea, or even the trade war with China. I’m talking about the drumbeat of liberal politicians and climate scientists who want us to go to war on climate change.

It’s not as if we aren’t fighting enough of these wars on domestic policy problems already. We still live in a war on poverty, declared by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, as well as a war on crime, a war on drugs, Jimmy Carter’s “moral equivalent of war” on energy consumption, the war on terror, and a few less formal wars such as those on cancer, obesity and the like.
