Confronting EnviroAlarmism Head-On

Here's one economist's view on Gang Gore, from the Washington Times:

"Global warming is a religion conceived to suppress human freedom. It is used to justify an enormous scope of government intervention vis-a-vis the markets and personal freedom."

In the video clip on the website (see below), he states "What is endangered? Climate? Or freedom?"

The writer of the article, David Sands, says that the quoted economist feels that "environmentalism...is the new communism."

I appreciate anyone who's willing to take on MSNBC and the NY Times head-on, and stick his neck out against the supposed "consensus" around AGW.

But "communism"? C'mon pal, that's a little much. After all, those who actually DID live in a communist country know how bad it was. Nothing compared to a few rules and regs meant to keep our air clean, right? After all, what would this Vaclav Klaus character know about living under a communist totalitarian state?

Oh, yeah, quite a bit.

He adds this interesting closer:

"Living in the communist era was not just a loss. We learned something. We can appreciate how fragile and vulnerable free society is."
