Now: extrapolate

I think most of us in the area are not economists. We can't speak with anything like the credibility that Sir Nicholas has." ("Diesel" Suzuki, at Nicky Stern's Toronto press conference Feb. 19, 2007)

If this is so, Dirty Diesel Doctor Dave, the Polluting high Priest of Prevost, why not apply this to your (and his) mewling Marxist ministry on "global warming?"

If you are not fit to comment (let alone build a massive following in one short year out of hot air on alleged hot air the way Stern has) why on earth are you qualified to scream "the sky is falling" when you are not a climatologist??? How can you shout down scientists who disagree with you??? You don't know anything about the science, you just have an "opinion" that somehow trumps everyone else's - if they disagree with you.

And further, why are Al Gore and Nick Stern criss-crossing the globe like a Laurie David on amphetamines in their big jet planes?

Because they're better than you and the rules don't apply to them. The rules don't apply to them when it comes to being a frequent flyer and the rules don't apply when it comes to academic or scientific knowledge. They're not just better than you they're environmentalist royalty and if you don't agree with them you're in favour of the death of the planet.

Stern's qualifications for his meteoric rise to global warming guru? He is "an academic economist who has written books on Kenya." A year ago Stern was an unknown. Let it be so a year from now. Let him be methane in the wind, teaching agrarian reform to Kenyan M.A. students at the leftist London School of Economics. Let the sycophantic and hysterical media find another celebrity to anoint as our enviro-saviour.

The farce spins ever wildly out of control. Joe Public, wake up and smell the coffee. Please.
