In all the hullabaloo yesterday, I missed the link Comrade Johansen sent out from one of those writers who has had his bread buttered for a couple decades by the "global warming" industry. Before stovepiping the bourgeois analysis of global warming true-believers like McKibben (he got Frank Lunz's memo and now calls it "climate change"), it's worth taking a look at what he supports. Going beyond his idiotic analogies and conspiracy theorizing, McKibben specifically cites, links to, and endorses a carbon-dioxide privatization scheme belched out of the Senate: Unlocking the Green Economy: How Carbon Pricing Can Open the Floodgates of Private Investment in Clean Energy http://cantwell.senate.gov/issues/Institute%20for%20Policy%20Integrity%20study.pdf I assume that you don't endorse the idea of CO2 privatization, Comrade Johansen? Am I wrong? If one doesn't endorse this AND takes issue with those of us who see red flags in the UN's IPCC hucksterism (i.e., funding the use of computer models in the manner of a derivatives merchant and publishing one's massaged, speculative 'findings' as Truth) what does one in such a position propose as a means of dealing with climate change? I am genuinely interested, but rather than answer this fairly straightforward question, only paeans to the objective, unbiased truth of "climate science", coupled with invective and name-calling have presented themselves. I have made it abundantly clear that those guilty of poisoning the earth, destroying the biosphere, and seizing the gene pool (including the court 'scientists' who facilitate this rapacity) should be put before a firing squad - a scenario that is, admittedly, unlikely to occur. But a guy can dream. Soldiarity, Shawn At 10:43 AM -0800 2/25/10, Ralph Johansen wrote: > > >February 25, 2010 >Tomgram: Bill McKibben, Climate Change's O.J.
