Don't Hold Your Breath Marni.......

Marni Soupcoff on Al Gore and Czech President Vaclav Klaus: There's a debate I'd like to see

Czech President Vaclav Klaus says he's ready to debate former U.S. vice president Al Gore about global warming. That's a verbal sparring contest I'd like to see. Klaus does a very good job of articulating the skewed priorities that many environmentalists embrace (Earth first, humans and liberty second):

Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the "climate alarmism" perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia. "Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality," he said. "In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat — this time, in the name of the planet," he added.

So, when's the smackdown? And where can I go to put my money on Klaus?
