The Incomparable Vaclav Klaus
If that wasn't enough to drive the usual suspects into near hysteria, Klaus also has campaigned against the global warming alarmists who are prepared to wreck the global economy in order to stop warming that so far is proving to be decidedly modest--even nonexistent over the past decade. In short, Klaus is not just un-PC. He is un-PC squared.

Perhaps we can draft Klaus to run here when he finishes his term as president of the Czech Republic. (Never mind that inconvenient constitutional language about the U.S. president being born in America!)
[IPCC climate fraudster suggests that carbon dioxide causes 7-fold increase in big cyclones]
The country's leading climate change scientist says it is a sign of things to come.

"It used to be that we would have a big cyclone every 15 to 20 years. We are getting a big one now every two or three years," said Atiq Rahman, who was on the UN's Inter-government Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER KEVIN RUDD: We will be dedicating every human effort into getting a successful outcome nationally and globally. But the obstacles are huge. And can I say those obstacles begin at home with a recalcitrant Australian Senate, led by a recalcitrant leader of the Liberal party.

[Q] That Lowy poll, does it worry you that maybe climate change is losing its political potency?

CEO OF THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE JOHN CONNOR: We and others have been doing research like this. For some time it's been clear that issues like the recession have been occupying the tier one. But concern about climate change is very strong and is strong in the tier two issues and can spring up at any time. It's optimistic if people think that this is an issue that will go away.
Analysis: Ark. Republicans eager to unseat Snyder - NewsFlash - mlive.com
This time around, Republicans have focused on an issue they hope will win over fiscal conservatives-Snyder's vote on climate change. Snyder was the only member of the state's congressional delegation to vote for a bill aimed at combatting global warming through a "cap-and-trade" system allowing the government to auction off permits to emit greenhouse gases.

Republicans are trying to paint Snyder's vote for the bill as one against jobs in the district, but Snyder has been pushing forcefully against the criticism. GOP leaders say they also hope to tie Snyder more to President Obama, who in statewide balloting last year lost by 20 percentage points.

"It has moved voters who were otherwise not as involved in the election process to get involved," State Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb said last week. "They see that if they stand on the sidelines, their congressman will be supportive of this liberal administration."
