The real problem is stopping the pseudo-science socialists who are drinking the kool-aid of the manmade global warming cult. The UN's IPCC had only 600 genuine active scientists among its 1900 members, the rest being self-serving bureaucrats with a political agenda. Even the scientists were handpicked as being politically correct for the predetermined agenda. Politically correct ''science'' is extremely likely to be political but highly unlikely to be correct.
The current President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, hit the nail on the head on the politics of the Global Warming movement in his book ''Blue Planet in Green Shackles'', which was recently released in English after previous Czech, German, and Dutch editions. President Klaus revealed politicized enviromentalism to be a budding totalitarian ideology with strong paralells to the Communism that Klaus grew up under. Klaus describes enviromentalism as the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today.
In the last Italian election, the Green Party appropriately teamed up with the unreconstructed Communist Party in an electoral alliance, and the Italian voters gave that alliance 0 (zero) seats in parliament. Hooray for the Italians!
Our own current high energy prices are caused by the obstructionism of the enviromental elitists, and our consumers cannot afford any more of their agenda.
Conservatives really want to see a more balanced ticket. Given McCain's own position, putting a second Global Warmist on the ticket for VP would be a huge turnoff. We need a genuine and strong conservative, and Pawlenty, who is drinking Al Gore's kool-aid in the cult of Manmade Global Warming, just does not fit the bill. Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus hit the nail on the head in this new book ''Blue Planet in Green Shackles'' in which he portrays political enviromentalism as a budding totatitarian ideology akin to the Communism that President Klaus grew up under, and which is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today. Pawlenty is NOT acceptable.
