Forget the people, save our cronies! (Wizbang)

And so you have it. Crony capitalism that favors the elites who just happen to helm government and environmentalist-approved (pardon the redundancy) industries and investment firms once again rears its ugly head as it attempts to crush free market efforts to develop a clean and inexpensive energy source that will be far more beneficial to everyone, but will enrich the "wrong" people in the process.

'Hope and Change' indeed.

The video begins with TV clips of various climate skeptics each proclaiming, “I’m not a climate scientist,” which gives way to a chorus of young men and women in glasses and white lab coats proclaiming “Yo! We’re climate scientists, and there’s no denying this! Climate change is real!”

To a throbbing hip-hop beat, the song goes on to rhyme “what we speak is true” with “our work is peer reviewed.”

If the video doesn’t win over sceptical Australians, perhaps nothing will.
