Czech president explains his views on global warming to Irish

Dublin - Czech President Vaclav Klaus promoted his book The Blue, not Green Planet during his official state visit to Ireland today.

At the reception at the Dublin City Hall, Mayor Eibhlin Byrne said jokingly she would like to sit at one table with Klaus and former U.S. vice-president Albert Gore whose views on global warming Klaus criticised in his book.

Klaus presented his book to Byrne who described him as a man of strong views whom he admired.

In his book Klaus warns against panic the advocates of the global warming theory are provoking. Klaus believes that the world debate on global warming is absolutely irrational.
