Czech President Vaclav Klaus wants to debate global warming with Al Gore, but I don't think it would be a fair fight since Klaus is an actual scientist rather than merely a celebrity endorser.
Klaus was speaking a the National Press Building in Washington to present his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?, before meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday. ...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.
Klaus is smart and direct: he attacks the invidious motives behind global warming alarmism because he sees in them the same alluring evil that drove communism and fascism to sacrifice hundreds of millions of people during the 20th century.
