Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the 'climate alarmism' perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.

'Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality,' he said.

'In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat - this time, in the name of the planet,' he added.

VACLAV KLAUS
for President of the USA

I'm serious...

Klaus was speaking at the National Press Building in Washington to present his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?

Those that want to support him might consider buying his book for starters:

"Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?"

Gore’s typical of those making money off of selling make belief answers to make belief problems they help create the hysteria for.

The idea is always the same. Pick some theme like Acid Rain. Convince people all our forests will be dead by the year 2000 (fear) unless they take immediate action which is easy, quick, and costs them only a little (low cost). If they think they can do something and as long as they think it won’t cost them personally much or anything they’ll play along (feel good politics), and beat this theme without end. It’s been the political MO from Germany to Japan and everything in between for years. Politically it’s an easy way to score capital but something has changed over the last years.

The difference between today and 20 years ago is that today big business is often a driving force behind thinking green. Today environmentalism is itself very profitable; from organic tomatoes to green power, recycled paper to the so called green light bulb, green is big business and often even pushed by firms with names like GE.

Few topics are as warped and perverted as environmentalism. It’s the consequence of a theme which can easily be abused by both politicians and business for their end. Most initiatives for the environment today bring little, even those which are often codified and if broken can cost lots of money are often simply put, political chess and racketeering. The consequences of say blowing R12 off are huge, and the entire theme of the Ozone Hole like Acid Rain has in reality already blown past, like Global Warming, now re-branded as Climate Change will eventually too. So while authorities might slam some poor sap for blowing R12 into the atmosphere, few question the validity of the science behind it in the first place. I guess that we should be happy that a few years past some dork in some political party somewhere, beating that nonsense, and of course DuPont which made billions off it built their careers on foundations of BS that has already been forgotten in the winds of time. Unbelievable, one has to wonder what laws against things like racketeering were intended for.

That seems about right. Liberals don't tolerate dissent in their own ranks, even though they equate dissent with patriotism when it comes to America's interests. Questioning global warming is an outright admission that you hate mother earth.

Calling John McCain. Time to go "Back to School with Klaus."

Put the debate on Pay Per View! I'd pay real money to see the smarmy, pretentious Algore slapped down by someone with some brains!

You mean like things like the fact that heavier than air R12 falls to the ground? After charging my car, I used to kick and ant pile and vent the left over R12 over the ants. It fell. The ants froze.

Do that today and the environmental police will slap you with a $25K fine.

Personally, I’m wondering if the Czech Republic might not be a haven for liberty in the age of post-rationalism.

It is also their cop-out for the exposure of their scam. How dare you question a LIBERAL CRIMINAL SCAM!!! Afterall, just ask the MSM — they do not dare question ANYTHING THAT COMES FROM THE LIBS. The libs are their lifeblood now — they made that choice. That is why they are going out of business too. But the libs love it — that is what has kept the Clintons out of Federal prison.
