French scientist calls Gore a 'crook' and his followers 'religious zealots'...
Review by Jorg von Uthmann

Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Climate-change skeptics are taking a beating these days even in France, where people long resisted the green creed.

Paris bookstores brim with guidebooks -- including one shaped like a toilet seat -- that tell readers how to help save our planet. Yet the dissidents refuse to shut up, even now that Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. government has agreed to negotiate a new global-warming treaty by 2009.

The most conspicuous doubter in France is Claude Allegre, a former education minister and a physicist by profession. His new book, ``Ma Verite Sur la Planete'' (``My Truth About the Planet''), doesn't mince words.

He calls Gore a ``crook'' presiding over an eco-business that pumps out cash. As for Gore's French followers, the author likens them to religious zealots who, far from saving humanity, are endangering it. Driven by a Judeo-Christian guilt complex, he says, French greens paint worst-case scenarios and attribute little-understood cycles to human misbehavior.

Allegre doesn't deny that the climate has changed or that extreme weather has become more common. He instead emphasizes the local character of these phenomena.

While the icecap of the North Pole is shrinking, the one covering Antarctica -- or 92 percent of the Earth's ice -- is not, he says. Nor have Scandinavian glaciers receded, he says. To play down these differences by basing forecasts on a global average makes no sense to Allegre.

He dismisses talk of renewable energies, such as wind or solar power, saying it would take a century for them to become a serious factor in meeting the world's energy demands.

I hope he is wrong about that , I have always liked the idea of haveing a windmill of my own and liveing in a neighborhood that glittered with solar panels , this might not be impossible .

Don't you think that if there was an alternate source of energy that was worth a damn some capitalist pig American would have found a way to make bundles of money off it?

Oh my my..Richie how mean..are you saying I am old or senile? Well I am old..which means I have a very good memory for idiots and a very poor memory for what I had for breakfast. Seems you were not breakfast. I am NOT senile..not yet anyway.

That is exactly what I want to happen!

Especially if I can invest early.

If I didn't know better I would think you were trying to be unfreindly.

What moves you to take this tack?

>>That is exactly what I want to happen! Especially if I can invest early.<<

There's are plenty of companies out there you can invest in. With the left demanding we bow down to the global warming religion the companies in the alternative energy business will be raking in the dough and you can to. I myself own stock in several energy companies.

Just giving the old bat what she's asking for.

We have agreement on this subject then.

Tho I would go a bit further and call the whole phenominon a good thing.

I do think that the danger of Global warming is an exaggeration , but I don't like the results of fossil fuel dependance even discounting global warming. If a program as serious as the Manhattan project or as visionary as the Apolloo program were to create a viable energy alternative system in the short term , the results would include a salutory impoverishment of Islamofashism , a reduction in acid rain , a revival of the rust belt, many other side benefits could accrue.

Not the least a new sorce of employment and enrichment for Americans to exploit.

Well she did call you an opportunist , but I don't think of this as a very strong insult.

In the right context it isn't an insult at all , what do you call someone who ignores or  wastes opportunities?

[terra]

Rich,
So the best you can do is to try to belittle me? Not that I am wrong...
I now remember why I stayed away. I am sure you liked it better with one less to give you a hard time.

Does haveing a vocabulary like a drunken 16 year old make you a big man?
