Quote:
Washington - Czech President Vaclav Klaus said Tuesday he is ready to debate Al Gore about global warming, as he presented the English version of his latest book that argues environmentalism poses a threat to basic human freedoms. "I many times tried to talk to have a public exchange of views with him, and he's not too much willing to make such a conversation," Klaus said. "So I'm ready to do it."
Klaus was speaking a the National Press Building in Washington to present his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?, before meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday.
"My answer is it is our freedom and, I might add, and our prosperity," he said....
the fact that he's in meetings with Dick Cheney immediately destroys his credibility.
Well, Klaus is wellknown for his Euroscepticism, his friendly approach to communism, his "dirty capitalism" (as Havel called it) and certainly by his strong disbelief in the existence climate change.
I've seen his speech (partly) on C-spam. Actually, he didn't say anything weas wasn't said by him earlier.
What makes me wonder is that conservative America seems to have a blind eye with his approach to communism.
