3474 Environmentalism--new incarnation for the old left

So says Václav Klaus, the second president of the Czech Republic, (and these folks have a bit of experience in this area). His interview about the UN IPCC panel is translated by physicist, Luboš Motl, at his blog, The Reference Frame.

Wow, that's incredible. I certainly wish we had some politicians that courageous. Even the Republicans are running scared from the whole "man is killing the planet" thing.

At least this guy calls 'em like he sees 'em. That's extrememly rare in a politician.

I think he nailed the whole idea of this global warming line of thinking that is being pressed upon us when he said, "Environmentalism as a metaphysical ideology and as a worldview has absolutely nothing to do with natural sciences or with the climate." and "Other top-level politicians do not express their global warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice."

I'd like to shake this man's hand.
