'Treason against the planet' | Lorrie Goldstein | Columnists | Comment | Toronto Sun

Reading Krugman's rant, it hit me -- folks like him have become the Joe McCarthys of modern American liberalism.

Actually, Krugman sounded a lot like the infamous Sen. McCarthy and the House Committee on Un-American Activities in their glory days of "exposing" dirty commies plotting to destroy the U.S. in the 1950s.

Only now, in his June 29 Times column, Krugman was denouncing dirty "deniers" (apparently, almost everyone who disagrees with him) for plotting to destroy the planet.

In the real world, outside Krugman's brain, the 212 legislators who voted against the bill -- 168 Republicans and 44 Democrats -- were more bipartisan than the 219 in favour -- 211 Democrats and eight Republicans.

Global Warming Causes Stupidity : Men's News Daily: Roger F. Gay

Today’s schools present political propaganda films like Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, “skeptics” are described as evil beings out to destroy the earth, and students are routinely punished for questioning global warming orthodoxy – whichever version of it is currently in the hands of their teachers. Tens of billions of dollars have been spent on fake science, scientists and bureaucrats have been punished for questioning it, and media moguls have delighted in hyping it. It’s yet another in a continuously growing list of case studies in Big Lie politics.

Emissions: Pachauri urges concrete steps from rich nations

Lindau, Germany (PTI): Developed nations should take "concrete steps" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change, which is no longer a "fantasy of scientists," Nobel Laureate Rajendra Pachauri has said, citing crop failures and food shortages in some developing countries.

Chairman of Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Pachauri also warned against making 'uncertainty' over its consequences a pretext against taking far-reaching measures and said urgent actions are needed now, at least to stabilise the situation "before it becomes too late".

"If we take immediate actions now, it will take years to reach where we should have been... Global climate change is not a fantasy of scientists and we already find ourselves in that," Mr. Pachauri told a panel at the 59th annual Meetings of Nobel Laureates, while advocating a change in lifestyles.
