FOXNews.com - Czech President Klaus: Global Warming Not Science, but a 'New Religion' (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2009/12/18/czech-president-klaus-global-warming-science-new-religion/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+foxnews%252Fscitech+%2528FO XNews.com+-+SciTech%2529)

"I'm convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature," said Klaus, an economist by training. "That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished."

"Politicians and their fellow travelers, the media and the business community, simply understood that this is a very good topic to take on. It's an excellent idea to escape from the current reality. Not to solve the crisis, but to talk about the world in 2050, 2080, 2200. This is for them an excellent job. They will not be punished by the voters for making a totally wrong decision, a wrong forecast."

"We'll be the victims of irrational ideology. They will try to dictate to us how to live, what to do, how to behave," Klaus said. "What to eat, travel, and what my children should have. This is something that we who lived in the communist era for most of our lives — we still feel very strongly about. We are very sensitive in this respect. And we feel various similarities in their way of arguing or not arguing. In the way of pushing ahead ideas regardless of rational counter-arguments."

Klaus says that he is in favor of "green" technology, but cautions that he is not in favor of the government dictating the development of the technology.

"I lived in a communist world where politicians told us what to do," Klaus said. "I don't think politicians or presidents should suggest to firms what to do. That has always been a mistake."

Wow, that is an excellent statement from the Czech president. I would quote and put in bold the best parts, but it would absolutely be the whole statement.

Climategate”
Hacked e-mails show climate scientists in a bad light but don't change scientific consensus on global warming.
In late November 2009, more than 1,000 e-mails between scientists at the Climate Research Unit of the U.K.’s University of East Anglia were stolen and made public by an as-yet-unnamed hacker. Climate skeptics are claiming that they show scientific misconduct that amounts to the complete fabrication of …
Yea but who makes up this consensus and if you notice it said "scientific consensus on global warming" leaving out man made global warming. Most scientists agree that the earth is warming its the cause that they disagree on.

Flat-Earthers speaking on the topic of the structure of the universe. I wonder what John Tyndall's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyndall) agenda was back in the 1850's. I can't fathom how anyone can think releasing CO2 with deforestation taking place at the same time is a good thing. Never mind the the warming impact of CO2 on the planet, how about the health impact on humans?
Hypercapnia
Victims of carbon dioxide (CO2) poisoning die of hypercapnia, a condition in which there is too high a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of the metabolic process of cells. It is exhaled by the lungs. Normally, the blood contains 40 mm Hg of CO2. Once the blood contains more than 45 mm Hg of CO2, hypercapnia will start to occur.

Hypercapnia can be caused by lung diseases such as emphysema, by reduced consciousness leading to hypoventilation, or by exposure to an environment in which the atmosphere has high levels of carbon dioxide present, such as in mine shafts.

CO2 is good for the planet indeed. :doh:
