So let's get started.

1. Lomberg should get a full scale US speaking tour complete with 50 venues $5000 honorariums. He should meet with the president's science advisor. Lomberg chairs in responsible enviromentalism should be endowed.

2. The Department of Homeland Security should launch a campaign against the Earth Liberation Front, complete with FBI mugshots and briefing papers, regular sober statements of grave concern to the press, and if possible a show trial. Plus regular reports on the potential dangers of domestic nutjob bioterrorism by green freaks. Smear the hell out of them.

3. Frist should be seen reading "State of Fear".

4. Limbaugh should do environmentalist wacko updates continually for three months, take the resulting calls from offended precious holier than thous, and skewer them mercilessly.

5. National Review and the Weekly Standard should do special issues on green craziness. Cover Earth in the Balance, the claim that automobiles will destroy civilization, "deep ecology" types promoting "die back" to hunter gatherer existence, the Human Extinction Movement, etc.

6. The trails of watermelons from hard right to green superregulators should be traced in individual careers and giant silly flowcharts on websites.

7. Details of silliest regulatory hurdles should be collected into conservative expose books. All the dams stopped for no good reason, all the wastelands protected by transparent sophistries, the land grabs, invented "species", wetlands that aren't wet 330 days of the year.

8. All the public money flowing to environmentalist advocacy groups, their grant mills, their "public input" sessions, should be systematically dismantled by executive orders and discretion and rechanneled to conservative advocates of responsible development. No reasoning needs to be given, just blackball them.

I'm just getting warmed up. It'll be lots of fun.

How about reports from scientists showing how regulation is actually harming the environment! I'm sure the numbers can be jockeyed for that just as easily as they've been jockeyed for the other side of things.

They believe in the power of fear? Let's hit 'em with stats showing what life will be like in a world that lives under Kyoto compliance. Power shortages and outages nationwide, transportation, freight, and communications costs skyrocketing, the simplest features of life that we take for granted today, such as lights, cooking, entertainment and commuting priced out of reach or simply unavailable.

Stats with every volcanic eruption detailing how much material it throws into the atmosphere, compared with human output since the Industrial Revolution.

This is gonna be fun!
