Agree With al-Goracle Or STFU


CSSD: Klaus should not present climate view at UN

Prague, Sept 13 (CTK) - Czech opposition Social Democrats (CSSD) leader Jiri Paroubek has sent an open letter to President Vaclav Klaus calling on him not to present his personal opinions on global warming on the United Nations soil, the CSSD told CTK.

Klaus is going to debunk the myth of global warming in his speech at a U.N. conference on September 24.

Paroubek wrote he feared that Klaus's opinions might be perceived as the Czech Republic's official stance.

Klaus is known as a fierce challenger of both the human factor in and the widely forecast effects of global warming. He opposes the views advocated by people like Al Gore, arguing that the "hysteria" surrounding the warming issue threatens freedom and democracy.

One of his slogans is that freedom, not climate is endangered.

Earlier this year, he published "Blue, Not Green Planet," a book summarizing his opinions challenging some scenarios of the planet's further development with regard to global warming.

Paroubek wrote that Klaus should realise he is the president of all citizens, not only those who share his opinions.

"You [Klaus] have no mandate to present there [at the U.N. conference] your personal opinions on the given issue," Paroubek wrote.
Heh. Nothin' like having a progressive Socialist with their panties in a knot.
Paroubek also stressed that an overwhelming majority of experts agree that climatic changes occur.

Klaus has already been criticised for his intention to present his opinions in the U.N. by Environment Minister Martin Bursik.

Bursik (Greens) said Klaus's initiative might endanger the Czech Republic's plan to become an elected member of the U.N. Security Council at the turn of 2007/2008.
In actuality, what might endanger the Czech's chances to become an elected member of the Security Council, is that Klaus is not an anti-Semite.
