Kachow!

Roger Kimball has a way with words, and could that claim be any better illustrated than through this put-down of the global warming clownfish which occupy so much of the lame-stream-media space these days:

I regard the whole Green Lobby as a cocktail composed of three parts moralistic hysteria mixed with a jigger of high-proof cynical opportunism (take a look at Al Gore’s winnings from the industry) fortified with a dash of beady-eyed left-wing redistributionist passion. You can never be Green enough, Comrade, and if the data show a 20-year “hiatus” in global warming (so much for Michael Mann’s infamous hockey stick), that’s no reason not to insist that capitalist powerhouses like the United States drastically curtail their CO₂emissions right now, today, while giving egregious polluters like China a decade or more to meet its quotas.
