Gore is pleased with Barr’s “serious attention to the issue of global climate change.” Notice that the eco-authoritarians have stopped calling it “global warming,” since there is no evidence of that, and that global cooling may be in our future. But warm or cool, it is up to the US empire and its satraps to tax us and run our lives to prevent “change.” Maybe they can abolish the seasons too. Gore is right to praise will.i.am, however. Unlike politicians, the Black-Eyed Peas have contributed to human wellbeing. (Thanks to Kyle Heuer)
