Global warming alarmist Stephen Schneider gave a press briefing in Copenhagen today. No one was impolite enough to remind Schneider of the days when he claimed the world was about to be destroyed by global cooling, but Phelim McAleer. . . showed up to ask a question about Climategate.
Schneider's response, suggesting that the emails that were leaked by a whistleblower might have been "edited," was wholly disingenuous. A considerable number of the emails were Schneider's, so if they were somehow inauthentic, he certainly could have said so. . . . Which means that Schneider had nothing whatsoever to say in response to McAleer's question.
Except to call security and make McAleer's cameraman stop filming, even though the event was ostensibly a press briefing open to the media. . . .
Global warming hysteria isn't science, it's politics. And totalitarian politics at that.
"If only the UN were this tough on terrorists." Somebody feels their will to power being thwarted.
More strong-arm tactics - proposed EPA regulations designed to intimidate business into supporting cap and trade:
The easiest way to get rich is to legislate yourself some money. P.J. O'Rourke.(Registration for videos free.) Past energy boondoggles outlined. Even a straight energy tax would be better than cap-and-trade, but provides much less opportunity for graft.
