French scientist calls Gore a 'crook' and...
Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Climate-change skeptics are taking a beating these days even in France, where people long resisted the green creed.
__________________Paris bookstores brim with guidebooks -- including one shaped like a toilet seat -- that tell readers how to help save our planet. Yet the dissidents refuse to shut up, even now that Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. government has agreed to negotiate a new global-warming treaty by 2009. The most conspicuous doubter in France is Claude Allegre, a former education minister and a physicist by profession. His new book, ``Ma Verite Sur la Planete'' (``My Truth About the Planet''), doesn't mince words. He calls Gore a 'crook' presiding over an eco-business that pumps out cash. As for Gore's French followers, the author likens them to religious zealots who, far from saving humanity, are endangering it. Driven by a Judeo-Christian guilt complex, he says, French greens paint worst-case scenarios and attribute little-understood cycles to human misbehavior.

Iron Horse, please post up some links to peer reviewed studies which cast doubt on anthropogenic climate change. I would imagine given that there is a lot of attention given to the views of climate change sceptics in the media that there are many such studies. |

Well Financeguy, Jesus was a socialist, so you know, there's a melding of memes there.

~financeguy I will, but I'm waiting to hear some rebuttals on what this French scientist says. Dissent is fun ![]() |

There are many intelligent conservatives. Beck is not one of them.

Anyone who makes a comparison between those concerned about humans' effect on global warming and Hitler is an idiot.

"Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and other denies the present and future." "When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards- some sort of climate Nuremberg." "Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby." Unless I'm taking these things out of context, right? |

Even before I had any idea at all who he was, I would see him when I was trying to get the headlines on, of all things, Headline News. I would watch a few minutes and be really annoyed at his smugness and lameness. He seemed to be so full of himself, like he was more important than whatever story he was reporting. I still don't know hardly anything about him, but I still find him smug and annoying. |
