"Greenhouse: It Will Happen in 1997"

This book was SOOOOO successful that I can only find it on Amazon UK - it's not even listed on Amazon US. The co-author, Donald I. Fine, changed over to writing drug store murder mysteries after this flop. Oh, and by the way, that's the late Donald I. Fine, esq, who was a classic old school upper east side lib.

Ping

[John Lenin]

but I failed to detect a point

I get the impression that even if I explained it to you you still wouldn't get it.

[MortMan]

Sorry - I posted that before coffee, and must beg for caffeinated forgiveness!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Greenpeace would badly need to read Bjorn Lomberg.

[alwaysconservative]

Exactly!!!

[JusPasenThru]

I can't believe it, but unless I missed it, no one has said the painfully obvious:

IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!

thanks for the ping. Steyn was quite gentle on the enviroloons this time around.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

European greenhouse gas emissions have increased since 2001, whereas America's emissions have fallen by nearly one per cent, despite the Toxic Texan's best efforts to destroy the planet.

Oh the irony.

[dead]

In return for this meaningless gesture, American GDP in 2010 would be lower by $97 billion

Which, in reality, would make it unusually efficient in working towards the (unstated, but obvious) real goals of the watermelon environmentalists.

My liberal friends wallow in ignorance. Here's the question: Do I share these facts with them in order to enlighten them, and perhaps convert them, or is that a wan hope since they love their ignorance,which is compatible with their hallucinogenic worldview? Alas, I fear, the latter. So I probably won't bother. I see a potential tag line here.

Maybe shorten 'My liberal friends' to 'Liberals'.
