I read an article this morning that claims that Obama has only four years to "save the world" from climate change. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jan/18/jim-hansen-obama) Now call me paranoid if you like but I think the reality of the situation is this...the environazis are seeing the hand writing on the wall. All indications are that we are entering a period of cooling. (Which oddly enough has been predicted by those scientists who think the sun influences our climate more than CO2 emissions.) It is far more likely that the greens realize that in four years there will be no sane person on the planet who believes that we are suffering from man-made global warming. That will mark the end of their ability to impose a radical agenda designed not to save the planet, but to re-distribute wealth and stop growth of industrialized countries.
Currently the enviromentally ill are quite adept at ignoring evidence that they are wrong. (My favorite currently is claiming that October set records for high average temperature even after it was discovered that the increase was due to numerous reporting stations using September's data). But..as the temperatures continue to fall world-wide, eventually people will stop listening.
I wonder if we will call Obama, Gore et al to task in that eventuallity.
Personally, I won't hold my breath
