“Freedom is at risk, not the climate”, so says Vaclav Klaus president of the Czech Republic. He feels so strong about this issue that he has written a book, refuting the Al Gore and Environmentalists claim that Global Warming can only be reversed by radical measures taken right now. According to an article written by President Klaus and published on the FinancialTimes.com, Klaus feels strongly that the Global Warming “hysteria” is getting out of hand and that “the biggest threat to freedom and democracy, the market economy and prosperity is in ambitious Environmentalism, not in communism”. He calls the environmentalist “Malthusian Pessimists”, who manipulate the data to depict a precipitous view of the world.

After an overwhelming response to his article, FT.com did an interview with Klaus, asking him the questions posed by it’s reader’s.

Question: “…How much evidence for environmental damage do you need to see before you are willing to advocate collective action in order to prevent the need for later extreme action?
Oddi Aasheim, London”

Answer: “When I study and analyse environmental indicators concerning my own country and when I compare them with the situation in the communist era, there is an incredible improvement. The improvement is not because of “collective action” you advocate (it existed in the communist era), but because of freedom and of free markets. That’s my main message.”

See the rest of the Interview with Klaus. Provocative questions and answers.

In his book he admits that, yes global warming is happening, but it’s taking it’s natural course. He believes that the human race shouldn’t spend so much time fighting it, and is more worried about the fear mongering that is put out by the environmentalist.
Food for thought: Quoting Micheal Chriton in his article,” “The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda”.

Take a look at his article and the ensuing interview, then take the poll.
