Czech President: Al Gore is Full of Shit

[festeringZit]

Czech President Vaclav Klaus took aim at climate change campaigner Al Gore on Saturday in Davos in a frontal attack on the science of global warming. "I don't think that there is any global warming," said the 67-year-old liberal, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. "I don't see the statistical data for that."
Referring to the former US vice president, who attended Davos this year, he added: "I'm very sorry that some people like Al Gore are not ready to listen to the competing theories. I do listen to them.
"Environmentalism and the global warming alarmism is challenging our freedom. Al Gore is an important person in this movement."
Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, he said that he was more worried about the reaction to the perceived dangers than the consequences.
"I'm afraid that the current crisis will be misused for radically constraining the functioning of the markets and market economy all around the world," he said.
"I'm more afraid of the consequences of the crisis than the crisis itself."
Klaus makes no secret of his climate change scepticism -- he is also a fierce critic of the European Union -- and has branded the world's top panel of climate experts, the UN's IPCC, a smug monopoly.

errrr. Wrong. I have seen this guy speak before and he is a bright guy and he is NO liberal, regardless if he is Prez of the EU, trust me on that one. AFP should have their card pulled for this error. So, it was either a blatant attempt to get the some dumbed down support from some American who could point to a liberal being against the warming or it was an outright error, you be the judge. Also, regardless the earth is warming in some spots, that cant be denied. The polar ice caps are living proof. And in some other spots it appears to be cooling, so go figure. Is this man made? I dont know, i would like to think that anything taken from the earth couldnt hurt the earth, but its hard to say.

and I'd like to think that my wife will turn into Jennifer Anniston (or that woman in 3peet's avatar) but that's not going to make it true.

Dont set your sights so high. Your wife has no and ass, so i would be just settling for a girl who resembles a 30 year old woman and not a 15 year old boy.
