Czech President Calls Out the Goracle

Vaclav Klaus hits the nail on the head. Global warming alarmism isn’t about saving the world from roasting, but about putting the world under the thumb of a few elites who know what is best for us, and the world:

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 said a free market should be used to address environmental concerns and said he opposed as unrealistic regulations or greenhouse gas capping systems designed to reduce the impact of climate change.

“It could be even true that we are now at a stage where mere facts, reason and truths are powerless in the face of the global warming propaganda,” he said.

He has called out Al Gore to a debate, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Looks like a great book though.
