It appears Czech President Vaclav Klaus has a lukewarm view of the global warming hysteria:
Q: IPCC has released its report and you say that the global warming is a false myth. How did you get this idea, Mr President?
A: It’s not my idea. Global warming is a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is unfair to refer to the U.N. panel. It’s not a scientific institution: it’s a political body, a kind of non-government organization of green flavor. It’s neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment. Also, it’s an undignified slapstick that people don’t wait for the full report in May 2007 but instead respond in such a serious way to the summary for policymakers where all the “but’s” are scratched, removed, and replaced by oversimplified theses. …
Environmentalism and green ideology is something very different from climate science. Various findings and screams of scientists are abused by this ideology.…
Q: Don’t you believe that we’re ruining our planet?
A: I will pretend that I haven’t heard you. Perhaps only Mr. Al Gore may be saying such a thing: a sane person can’t.
Professor Klaus doesn’t seem to have much respect for the politically correct fashionable doomsaying sweeping the rest of Europe. The rest of the interview is well worth the read.
Wouldn’t a “false myth” be the truth?
“…and that right wing politicians have very little credibility when it comes to environmental issues.”
What, and Dion does? Give it a break iberia. You have no crediblity here, yet you keep on showing up like an incurable STD.
Besides, why not just admit the socialist hidden agenda behind climate change and kyoto? Afterall, it’s for losers like you, who have likely accomplished nothing in your life and would now like see those who have suffer, out of sheer jealosy.
Insufferable wanker.
JJM asks, “Maybe it’s just me, but has anyone else here noticed that Al Gore and all the ecocultists seem to be getting as creepy as Scientologists?”
I saw Al Gore on the Grammy Awards last night (don’t ask: I had a good reason for watching them…) and he’s looking ee-vill. He’s got those devil eyes, you know the ones? They look like snake eyes, slitty and shifty and cold. And he used to be quite a good looking guy–that is, before he invented the Internet and took up with the envirocultist greenies.
‘Looks like he’s been invaded by not only the body snatchers but the mind snatchers too.
Vit: A bird with only one wing cannot fly, Iberia.
…won’t it get dizzy?
Irwin:
“Besides, why not just admit the socialist hidden agenda behind climate change and kyoto?”
I have always suspected that you have a comprehension problem. I stated quite clearly that I thought Kyoto is a scam. As usual though, you never let the facts get in the way of your idiotic vitriol.
HEY AL GORE IF WERE HAVING GLOBAL WARMING HOW COME THEIR GETTING ALL THAT SNOW IN NEW YORK STATE HEY GORE SQUAWK SQUAWK ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? SQUAWK SQUAWK
The good professor/president is doing a very courageous thing by coming out against the Kyoto hoax.
I’m sure if he went with the moonbat flow that his country would be eligible to receive untold millions if not billions as a developing country under the carbon credit scam.
Now he will be a Kyoto pariah.
