Environmentalists Are Idiots
Food in abundance, to those of us who aren't afflicted with global warming disease, is a darn good thing.

Your argument that global warming is a bad thing because it creates conditions such that food is plentiful is perhaps the most preposterous thing I've ever read.

To the rest of the world, rejoice. With fools like these for enemies, we are sure to win this debate.
Best Buy (BBY) Goes “Green”, Wastes Money – 24/7 Wall Street
According toThe Wall Street Journal, “America’s largest consumer-electronics retailer by sales has quietly begun offering electric-powered scooters, bicycles and Segway Inc. transporters.” Many of these are expensive products and will be hard to sell with the economy slowing and consumer spending down.
...
Selling Segways is a good way to waste investor money. If consumers wanted them, they would go to an electronic bike dealership.
L'Aquila summit needs to capitalise on global goodwill on climate change | Tony Blair [evidently doesn't realize we have access to the Internet] | Environment | guardian.co.uk
On July 9, the leaders of the world's largest economies will meet in L'Aquila, Italy, at the Major Economies Forum (MEF) on Energy and Climate to discuss progress towards a new global climate agreement. In six months, a deal is supposed to be struck in Copenhagen, so the MEF meeting comes at a vital moment. When many of the same leaders met in April to address the economic crisis, they rightly pledged to do "whatever is necessary." The same spirit needs to animate the L'Aquila meeting.

There is enormous goodwill to do so. The new US administration is supporting strong American action. China is setting ambitious targets for reducing energy intensity and making massive investments in renewable energy. India has put forward its own action plan. Europe has set a goal of cutting emissions by 30% below 1990 levels by 2020 if there is an ambitious global agreement. Japan has published its proposals for major carbon reductions. Across the world, commitments are forthcoming.
