In bold defiance of the global-warming agenda, India is making it known that it rejects the science underpinning anthropogenic (human caused) climate-change theory.
The bearer of this news is Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, who just last week had informed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that it was unfair for the United States to expect a developing nation such as India to curtail its CO2 emissions. Yet, while balking at such expectations is common, overtly rejecting the actual science behind them is not. MacedoniaOnline.eu reports on the environment minister's position, writing, "Jairam Ramesh ... accused the developed world of needlessly raising alarm over melting Himalayan glaciers. He dismissed scientists’ predictions that Himalayan glaciers might disappear within 40 years as a result of global warming. 'We have to get out of the preconceived notion, which is based on western media, and invest our scientific research and other capacities to study Himalayan atmosphere,' he said."

It is great to see India challenge the global warming goons. Now that the "warmists" have lost all intellectual credibility look for them to manufacture another crisis. I have a hunch it will be methane. The international treaty will be called FART. Flatulent Aerosols Reduction Treaty.

Cute, Walt.
I would like to postulate this theorum:
Global warming alarmists, substantially devoid of facts and evidence as they are, are actually hoping that Joe and JoAnne Sixpack confuse carbon dioxide, a naturally occuring gas that is beneficial to life (human and otherwise) and vegetation (plant growth: meaning food to those of you from Berkeley, North Beach and Greenwich Village) with carbon MONoxide. It is my belief that pathological liars like Al Gore have staked their careers and reputations on this easily refuted claim.
But once again, let us not be deceived. Cap and Trade legislation has NOTHING to do with the environment. It is once again about control of your life.
Make no mistake about it. The proponents of global warming are Eco-Marxists who despise capitaism. They will use every lie, every false statistic and any other method that they can think of to decieve you into accepting or acquiescing to The Big Lie.
Just for jollies, look up the temparature trends in Nashville, Tennessee. You will either be amused or embarassed that Nashville is experiencing record cold temperatures. Need I remind you that Nashville is where Al Gore resides?
