Harold Seneker: Forbes 400 journalist tackles climate change hysteria | Tom Nelson Pod #192
About Harold Seneker: I am a retired financial writer and editor, whose most notable contribution was initiating and managing for years the Forbes 400, the annual listing of the richest people in America, and then of Forbes' lists of World Billionaires. So when the question of anthropogenic global warming came up for me, I could approach this new issue with an open mind and reporting skills, and no built-in biases or assumptions other than a well-honed skepticism about the truthfulness of people in high positions. If climate alarmism had proved justified, I would be in the forefront of people supporting it. However, what I found was different.
