I think I found a new columnist to add to my collection of those I regularly read (you'll find links to their work in the right column, under "What I Read (you should too)"). This guy, Andrew Bolt, from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, is a frickin' genius.
I can't do this article justice - you just got to read the whole thing. The article begins by commenting on a young man, age 17, who suffers from mental problems due to an irrational fear of climate change.
"A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood . . . He also . . . had visions of apocalyptic events."Zing! But he's just getting started.
(So have Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery, Profit of Doom Al Gore and Sir Richard Brazen, but I digress.)
And here is a senior Sydney Morning Herald journalist aghast at the horrors described in the report on global warming released on Friday by Rudd's guru, Professor Ross Garnaut: "Australians must pay more for petrol, food and energy or ultimately face a rising death toll . . ."Mr. Bolt goes on to describe why the Indians and Chinese have balked at implementing carbon standards (hint: because they're not stupid).
Wow. Pay more for food or die. Is that Rudd's next campaign slogan?
Of course, we can laugh at this -- and must -- but the price for such folly may soon be your job, or at least your cash.
Their conclusion? They couldn't actually find anything bad in India that was caused by man-made warming: "No firm link between the documented (climate) changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established."Nor can anyone else, for that matter, with the exception of Al Gorebells and his pack of fanatics.
In fact, they couldn't find much change in the climate at all.
It is a fun and informative article. I highly recommend that you check it out.
