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.”

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.

PS: Josh I wanted to post this to your diary “Al Gore’s Big Chill”. Not open for comment….

Michael Crichton’s “State Of Fear ” is required reading on the subject of global warming and population control in general.

It reminds me of a fable I composed while studying “aggregate value” in economics.
“We can derive much useful information from the study of elephants’ eggs. Of course, we all know that elephants don’t lay eggs, but, if they did they would be quite remarkable. For example, the color of elephants’ eggs tells us …”

Criticisms about the precision of climate measurements are valid, but don’t explain an overall warming trend, because the ‘noise’ of inaccuracy should cut both ways. Even if it overwhelms the true trends, it should sometimes overwhelm them up, and sometimes down.

But these models and studies are always imprecise in a way that projects a warmer climate. So, either the Earth is really warming, or the method used to process the data has a bias towards warming current temperatures, or cooling past ones, or both (or, come to think of it, all three).

A bias towards warming current temperatures and cooling old ones… that would be a strange coincidence, wouldn’t it?

For a well written, easy to understand article on the “science” of global warming, I refer you to the following article:
CO2 Fairytales in Global Warming
By Gregory Young, January 11, 2009, AmericanThinker.com
Good charts, graphs, and excellent arguments that we would all know if we hadn’t been educated in America’s public schools!

As usual if the data doesn’t fit their models, they massage the data to fit the model. Apparently, where data doesn’t exist, NASA is extrapolating other data to fill in. It’s amazing what some people regard as science.

I believe I read today that in Fla. the crops were either in danger or were harmed by “cold wheather.”

Bad NASA! Bad! Come over here while I put this lead weight on your foot and make you stand in this water of average depth 2 inches cover a square mile.

Global warming is the biggest hoax to scare the dumbed down masses and ultimately control them that has ever been shoved down their throats.

The earth has been going through climate changes for millions of years. The single biggest effect on our climate is the sun. The second is the orbit of the earth around the sun. Does anyone besides Algore believe we will never experience another ice age? What are they teaching in our schools today? Is all the knowledge man has learned going to be shoved aside for a socialistic world?

An old man told me, a long time ago when I was younger, he would continue to learn until they laid him 6 feet under. With that in mind I checked out www.iceagenow.com and continue to keep an open mind.
