I am sure that Global Warming believers are going to accuse Vaclav Klaus of dimentia or worse.
While I believe there is a man made component to climate change and that CO2 does make a difference, I do not believe it is the problem that Al Gore and the rest of the world would have us believe. You want to save the planet? There are a lot more important things that need to be done now, far more important and critical than global warming.
The fact is the world has been in an ice age for a long time and human civilization occurred during a momentary ebb in that process. Global cooling is eventually coming too. In fact, we have been in a mild cooling cycle for several years now.
The only way to reduce CO2 effectively, assuming it is such a problem, is to come up with alternative engergy sources that do not produce CO2. Kyoto, Cap and Trade, and other “climate legislation and treaties” are just a complete waste of money and time. Worse than that, they take away from efforts that could really make a difference (like habitat preservation, stopping over fishing, trade in endanged species, etc.).

Sorry to go off topic but…Why Hitchens is our favorite atheist since Ayn Rand.
At this point, the Lisbon Treaty he couldn’t stop is a greater threat than global warming and its policy malcontents.
