As many know by now Obama was recently asked by a New York Times Reporter whether he was a socialist. It is really difficult to properly relate how profoundly silly that question/topic is. A return to pre-Bush level taxation while increasing spending during the most severe economic crisis of our generation is about as socialist as ..... global warming.
In New York today those who believe the earth is flat climate change is not real are meeting to warn others about sailing off the end of the earth discuss the issue. And apparently the competition among world leaders to replace Bush as dimmest light bulb on the planet is heating up. Here for example is Václav Klaus:
Klaus maintains that moves to reduce climate change are an attack on individual liberties.
Last night he said European governments are scaremongering and addicted to extreme environmentalists who want to set the human race backwards by some centuries.
He admitted that he was alone in this view but he received prolonged applause.
He said that the global warming debate has not moved forward and he is reminded of the dissatisfaction people experienced under communism ...
If there is one thing that is absolutely clear in the our battle to save our future on this planet it is that the greatest challenge is not technological nor strutural but simply overcoming our own idiocy.
