PING!
Fantastic article.
Anybody hold out any hope that Fox's replacement in Mexico will be an improvement?
I do like the look of a bright sky on the horizon.
Harper-Bush-Howard - this era's dragon slayers?
Oh, and, how about this part? "Harper also expressed interest in emulating the Australian approach to climate change outside Kyoto."
This is a road we need to get out in the 'atmosphere' (along with getting more exposure on the REAL science, like the natural climatic cycles and bringing out little 'think about it' questions like: "The libRats claim "It's warmer than it has been since 400 years ago!" So, they are admitting it was this warm 400 years ago. How many SUV's were those Colonials driving in the early 1600's?) Speaking of SUV's, I sometimes suspicion that the libRats subliminal 'drive' to get us joe-six-pack folk out of 'em (you notice they don't practice what they preach)and into smaller vehicles is a back door population control agenda. For example: I had 5 children, long before car seat rules. With car seats, 3 to a car is the limit. but I digress...
WE need to mount an 'actual science' informational campaign, non-confrontational, actually ignoring the Gore Camp. Maybe a good rip-roaring "Pirates of the Caribbean" type movie on the Viking Sagas, showing how warm is was when they first settled in Greenland and established a community of 30,000 (most think it was only a handful) and how they lived there for 350+ years until the approaching mini-ice age drove them out and devastated Europe at the same time. It would give people an "Oh, It was MUCH warmer here 1000 years ago than it is now! Hmmm?" moment. - It would show the real agenda of the libRats - to redistribute the wealth: OURS to the countries not 'required' to sign onto Kyoto, like China, India, and hundreds of serfdoms.
Anyway, a good Vikings Saga movie that simply followed the actual sagas - and that would include Leif's voyages and escapades down our eastern seacoast - without mentioning global warming at all - would be a great eye-opener to the general public. (He he, just had a thought. Cast Kiefer Sutherland as Leif. Can't you see the film trailers now, with Lief (Jack Bauer) at the prow of a Viking ship? (Maybe Kiefer's dad, Donald, as Lief's dad, Eric The Red) It would be a blockbuster and viewers would start 'getting a clue' about 'global warming vs natural climatic cycles...without realizing they had been "clued in." (At the same time, they would realize that the Big Lie about Columbus having 'discovered America' is also hype - cementing the realization that all that is written ain't necessarily so.)
(For some historical data, google "Lief Ericsson" : ex: here's a good start:

Hmmm - how do we get this proposal to Kiefer? He's probably about the only one with enough clout/backing and mind-set to do it.
