The Climate-Change Police

Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, who is a sceptic on climate change, will take up the rotating presidency of the European Union next year.  He is already getting bashed by climate alarmists.  According to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald

“The New York Times opened a profile of Klaus, 67, this week with a quote from a 1980s communist secret agent’s report, claiming he behaves like a “rejected genius”, and asserts there is “palpable fear” he will “embarrass” the EU.”

Geologist and University of Adelaide professor Ian Plimer, one of Australia’s leading enviro-sceptics, says he has noticed audiences becoming more receptive to his message that climate change has always occurred and there is nothing we can do to stop it.  His new book, Heaven And Earth: The Missing Science Of Global Warming, to be published early next year.

As people begin the realize the cost of fighting so-called global warming and the impact that fight will have on their freedom, many are becoming less likely to blindly accept the conclusions of the scientists who promote the idea.  One of the telling things about this debate is that differing opinions and data are not allowed.  Scientists who have spoken out against the faulty science used to prove global warming have been shunned, lost jobs, or smeared in the liberal press. 

Actually, a lot of recent information supports global cooling–the lack of sunspot activity over the past five years has resulted in cooler temperatures rather than warmer temperatures.  The website wattsupwiththat.com generally has good information on climate change.  There is an article there right now about the glaciers in Norway and Alaska growing rather than shrinking.
