Lite Chris Horner... artikel och klipp

Nämnde för några veckor sedan juristen Chris Horners nya bok, "Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed".

Artikel

Såg häromdan en artikel om Horner i Spiked, av Rob Lyons, som bl a beskriver att han arbetade för Enron men valde att "byta sida" för att avslöja hur energibolagen tjänar på klimatalarmism. Ett knippe citat:

"That big players in global energy should be in cahoots with environmentalists and climate change alarmists came as something of a shock to Horner."

"...we are getting a one-sided discussion of climate change because most media outlets, politicians, activists and a substantial section of big business have – in a variety of ways – got an interest in keeping it that way."

"...criticism of the global warming consensus is regarded as heresy. The world, we are told, is going to burn unless a particular set of emissions-restricting policies are introduced."

"...as George W Bush prepares to leave office, the planet is cooler than when he entered office. That’s a tough one for a lot of people to deal with."

"At every level, there are forces attempting to forestall a wider debate. Sceptical scientists often prefer to keep their heads down rather than admit publicly that they have doubts – and no wonder."

"‘I served on a panel of the International Association of Political Consultants this week with a man who has made his money. He’s a former CEO and he retired at what seems to be a young age. His position now is that this issue is too important to be left to things like democracy and individual liberties – we need to suspend them for this issue. We need a supernational organisation that we can’t object to, we can’t fight, to create something to control us. That alarmed me beyond belief.’"

Nedan ett några veckor gammalt inslag på Hannity & Colmes. Horner nämner bl a att Kina, som ju slipper CO2-restriktioner, nu i Kyoto-förhandlingar krävt pengar av väst för att de har haft ett-barns-politik. (Länk till Fox-inslaget, och transkript till det.)
