Global Warmenistas are increasingly being called out, in print, in major publications. Miranda Devine of the Sydney Morning Herald is not a nobody, and here is what she penned recently. It includes comments from Vaclav Klaus, a growing favourite among Objectivists, and also Ian Plimer, an Adelaide scientist whom I have mentioned here before and sent a thankful email to. Miranda notes of him:
One of Australia’s leading enviro-sceptics, the geologist and University of Adelaide professor Ian Plimer, 62, says he has noticed audiences becoming more receptive to his message that climate change has always occurred and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
This is heartening news.
Plimer says creationists and climate alarmists are quite similar in that “we’re dealing with dogma and people who, when challenged, become quite vicious and irrational”.
Go, mate, go!!
I also love her closing words:
Carter, like Plimer and Klaus, has come in for his fair share of vilification. But as Clarke proves, you can’t stop people thinking. Yet.
With more people like Klaus, Plimer, and Devine calling a spade a spade and questioning prevailing smelly orthodoxies, people will continue to think for themselves for a long time to come.
Given the history or errors with this kind of data, it’s nice to hear that there are still some people who don’t think MMGW is beyond discussion or critical analysis.
It is odd though the way this sort of story gets very little play in the major media.
“In Poznan there will be a buzz - we can call it the American buzz,” said Jake Schmidt, of the Natural Resources Defense Council. “The U.S. is back in the conversation, and back with a leader that gets it.”
I didn’t want to open a new topic for this one link, so I’ll just post it here. Jeremy Clarkson, the host of “Top Gear”(a British TV show), was told that GW is melting the ice caps, so it’s becoming impossible to travel to the North Pole because of the thinning ice.
His answer? He drove a 3 ton pickup truck to the North Pole:
I found the show very entertaining. ( Apparently you are still allowed to drink and drive for instance, if you’re off-road, heading for the Pole. It’s the greatest visual ever-someone with a gin and tonic in hand, while driving to a place that was impossible to reach a few centuries ago)
Top Gear is a great show and Jeremy Clarkson has been an outspoken critic of MMGW for years. For anyone who hasn’t seen it I recommend watching it on BBC America sometime.

It is, by far, one of the best TV shows on British Television.
