Czech President Klaus ready to debate Gore on climate change
M&C ^ | 5/27/08

Gore a former US vice president who has become a leading international voice in the cause against global warming, was co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Gore's effort was highlighted by his Oscar winning documentary film An Inconvienent Truth.

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 oppposed 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.

Klaus alleged that the global warming was being championed by scientists and other environmentalists whose careers and funding requires selling the public on global warming.

'It is in the hands of climatologists and other related scientists who are highly motivated to look in one direction only,' Klaus said.

Ain't gonna happen.

Gore wouldn't even debate a reasonably well informed fourth grader.

Klaus seems to hit all the right notes.

I’m going steady with this sentence:

“Klaus alleged that the global warming was being championed by scientists and other environmentalists whose careers and funding requires selling the public on global warming.”

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

Gore doesn’t “debate” global warming. That would give his mind-controlled minions the impression that there still is a debate, and all the science not “in” yet. They’re programmed to tune out any skepticism anyway, so there’s no point.

Klaus will eat Gore's lunch if they debate. Albore may think Klaus is just some dumb Slav from Central Europe. In fact, he's a superb debater. When I lived in Prague I saw Klaus debate a rather repellant enviromentalist/philospher named Erazim Kohak. Klaus destroyed him. Klaus has the number of these "watermelons," and gives no quarter to them in debate.

::::::
Never. That would be defaming the Church of Global Warming - the religion which all kool-aid drinking liberals must belong. You DO NOT allow the Church to be attacked — thus no debate.

Gore must protect his CASH COW.

Gore would stick to his simple but irrefutable arguments like “Everyone agrees”, “Even Hollywood knows”, “The situation is dire”, “Experts say”, and so on.

With a constitutional amendment, but that may take awhile. But I give him the nod before McGore.
