IBD Lays it On the Line–Enviros are Totalitarians

Recently we commented on a number of people, Krugman, Figueres, who said a good totalitarian state gets things done.
This attached essay is one reason that Milloy and I think very highly of IBD, not to mention IBD has published Milloy’s commentary.
Thanks to Joe Bast at Heartland for the link.

Would it surprise you to know that Figueres is an algore acolyte?

From Mark Morano and the Folks at Climate Depot and CFACT
Former Harvard Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl of Czech Republic Comments on UN’s Christiana Figueres: ‘The totalitarian system rocks while democracy sucks!’ –

Works most of the time–the public and media a gerbil’s attention span, and the page already open in the environmental hymnbook.

Judith Curry is a Heroine

Maybe you have missed the special place Judith Curry of Georgia Tech has in the climate debate.

Yale Survey of American Attitudes on Warming

Most respondents said they don’t believe they will be personally harmed by any global warming that may happen. That is obviously a great disappointment to the researchers.
