Czech president attacks Al Gore's climate campaign

Czech President Vaclav Klaus took aim at climate change campaigner Al Gore on Saturday in Davos in a frontal attack on the science of global warming.
"I don't think that there is any global warming," said the 67-year-old liberal, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. "I don't see the statistical data for that."

Referring to the former US vice president, who attended Davos this year, he added: "I'm very sorry that some people like Al Gore are not ready to listen to the competing theories. I do listen to them.

"Environmentalism and the global warming alarmism is challenging our freedom. Al Gore is an important person in this movement."

I think the Czechs in particular have some sort of animus toward goofy half baked science that threatens liberty and human dignity.  Some sort of ethnic defect, </snark> or maybe they are just better at history there for some peculiar reason.

Well, he certainly painted a target on his head and back, didn't he, with the EU and with both Gore and Obama?

Good for him.

Obviously a threat to global security. We must unleash the entirety of the US's war machine on these monstrous plunderers.

"Environmentalism and the global warming alarmism is challenging our freedom. Al Gore is an important person in this movement."

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, he said that he was more worried about the reaction to the perceived dangers than the consequences.

"I'm afraid that the current crisis will be misused for radically constraining the functioning of the markets and market economy all around the world," he said.

"I'm more afraid of the consequences of the crisis than the crisis itself."

Klaus makes no secret of his climate change scepticism -- he is also a fierce critic of the European Union -- and has branded the world's top panel of climate experts, the UN's IPCC, a smug monopoly.

BTW - Dear college-educated editors of AFP: it's spelled "skepticism"..."sceptiscism" looks like some sort of bile-induced disease.

If I remember my world history, I think "sceptiscism" is the European spelling of the English word. 

On the other hand, I consider anything European to be diseased.
