Germany awash in AGW skepticism after release of book co-authored by one of the founders of the German green movement

Germany awash in AGW skepticism after release of new book. A book co-authored by one of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, concludes scientists exaggerated the impact of CO2 on climate. Key takeaway: the big yellow thing in the sky MATTERS! Embrace the decline, suckas. Wonder if the NY Times will find this fit to print? Kidding.

  • Maybe we'll also dodge a bullet and avoid a famine when people start getting serious about the earth cooling down. Cold kills.

  • Well, I hope this new-found scepticism takes off in Deutschland, because they've frightened themselves silly about nuclear power, and won't generate any (yet I've no doubt they'll buy ours, in France), windfarms have proved worthless, solar power is a joke. Soon, for them, the lights will be going out - just like in the Former UK, where all the EU-ordained emissions targets have been (not unexpectedly) missed, and they are all going to die from catastrophic warming, and inundation from sea level rise - when they've got rid of the snow, of course...

    • Living in D-land right now, and see them putting up a solar panel farm....should work real well, since the panels are covered in SNOW.

  • Does anyone realize the bullet we dodged when Al Gore didn't become president? Man! He would've sold us down the river for that stupid myth! We'd be living in a world of rolling brownouts and silly little golf-cart cars that go 12 miles on a 12-hour charge.

    I'd be pedaling a bike while I type this, just to stay online!

  • Another crack in the dike. Doesn't matter. Liberal Lemmings will continue to follow Gore over the cliff.
