Interesting article on the Czech presidential election

Incumbent Vaclav Klaus is running against economist Jan Švejnar, a U.S. citizen from Michigan.

Excerpt:

Compared with Švejnar, who often slurs his way through speeches, Klaus comes across as a confident and self-assured speaker.
Indeed, Klaus’ self-assuredness remains both his greatest weakness and his greatest strength. Those hoping the president might mollify his controversial viewpoints on man-made climate change, or soften up his allegedly arrogant style in the hope of a broader electoral appeal, need only have listened to his recent press conference following an official meeting with the Green Party Jan. 28.
“I did not back off from my views on global warming and climate change,” he told Green Party leader Martin Bursík. “In fact, I am surprised you have not changed your mind. I hoped that by now you would have seen through this fiction and realized that you bet on the wrong horse.”
Klaus, like U.S. President George W. Bush, maintains that in 30 years or so historians will finally admit he was right and the conventional wisdom was wrong on global warming.
