Czech President Klaus ready to debate Gore on climate change : Environment

Washington - Czech President Vaclav Klaus said Tuesday he is ready to debate Al Gore about global warming, as he presented the English version of his latest book that argues environmentalism poses a threat to basic human freedoms. "I many times tried to talk to have a public exchange of views with him, and he's not too much willing to make such a conversation," Klaus said. "So I'm ready to do it."
Klaus was speaking a the National Press Building in Washington to present his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?, before meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday.
"My answer is it is our freedom and, I might add, and our prosperity," he said.
Gore a former US vice president who has become a leading international voice in the cause against global warming, was co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Gore's effort was highlighted by his Oscar winning documentary film An Inconvienent Truth.
Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the "climate alarmism" perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.
"Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality," he said.
"In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat - this time, in the name of the planet," he added.
Klaus said a free market should be used to address environmental concerns and said he oppposed as unrealistic regulations or greenhouse gas capping systems designed to reduce the impact of climate change.
"It could be even true that we are now at a stage where mere facts, reason and truths are powerless in the face of the global warming propaganda," he said.
Klaus alleged that the global warming was being championed by scientists and other environmentalists whose careers and funding requires selling the public on global warming.
"It is in the hands of climatologists and other related scientists who are highly motivated to look in one direction only," Klaus said.

Such as, how to ensure the survival of humanity? Crazy ideals.

Before we can ensure the survival of humanity we need to first identify the cause. As of right now there is not enough evidence to support the claim. If we destroy our economies in order to try to solve a hypothetical problem we have just hastened our end as we know it before understanding the dynamics involved. People have been known to do great harm while having the best of intent. That being said I don't believe a great deal of the alarmists have good intent. Many I think just hate what we stand for as a country and society.

You know the only reason you are for climate change is because it will hurt corporations.

Don't know why I'm painted as blindly anti-corporation, but anyway...

What are the ideals of people like Al Gore and his Nobel Prize-winning colleagues? Selling movies? Getting on TV? How does it benefit them to be "alarmist"?

You can't be serious! How about Al Gore pimping carbon credits? In most cases I believe it benefits their agenda.

He has no desire to save the planet......

He is in the business of promoting Algore.....

Yet we frequently see means to ensure ideals having unanticipated and negative consequences. (e.g. rush to ethanol to ensure energy independence).

I think his point is exaggerated but to use a blanket "it's for the survival of humanity" rationale for specific programs and policies is problematic as well.

The rush to ethanol has little to do with seeking energy independence and everything to do with seeking votes and favor. The scientific community showed some time ago that corn-based ethanol buys you very little as far as energy return goes, yet we continue to invest more money into this form of energy than any other alternative (in the form of subsidies). It is amazing to me that it hasn't stopped yet...and I keep saying, the end is near...but it hasn't slowed yet.

Who thought it was a good idea to make food an energy source?
