Meanwhile, somewhere in a backyard in Europa, a tiny TV station, RTL4 did something not seen before.
It admitted that climate issues had been greatly exagarated to pursue a political project.
Obviously, The Netherlands being mostly a river delta below sea level should be very keen to keep it's defence against the water up, in proportionality with the treath and sea level changes would always have the full attention. So some time ago a big governmental report about sea level rise and how to cope, had been published

for the broadcast click on "Deltacommissie overdreef gevaren water"
Rough translation and idea of the broadcast.
Blackest scenario
In their description of the sea level rise, the Delta Commission has pictured the blackest scenario, scientists say. According to them, the delta commision want to scare the citizens to sell the enormous infrastructural project. (100 billion Euro)
"Biggest danger is denial"
When presentating report, the chairman of the Delta Commission, Cees Veerman, said that the Netherlands should not wait for the disaster to occur.
Last week a number of attachments was brought open in which the commission was encouraged to paint the blackest possible scenario to scare the people and thus attempting to prevent a national discussion about the feasibility of the plan. A charismatic leader should be appointed as "Delta Dictator" to smoothen out resistance and expedite the implementation of the plan.
People start to realize that they are being treated as children, the D66 party request to know why the government uses "functional fear" to enforce a project instead of a broad general discussion based on honest research. "Functional fear does not fit in our image of democracy", he says.
Really? never read any IPCC summary for policy makers?
