Holdren’s fault.
ping for later...I need to make some popcorn for this one.

Bwahahahahahahaha! Priceless.
Anybody out there .....that remembers the Coming Ice Age scare in the 70’s?
I think there was a Time magazine cover and story devoted to the new ice age we were entering.
nice.

ROTFLOL Boxer got her ears boxed.
Don’t confuse Boxer (Ma’am) with facts. She’s too damn dumb to understand the argument.
Beautiful!!!....
Holdren and Ehrlich aren't so well known for a bet Holdren, Ehrlich, John Harte, Holdren protege at Berkeley, and a fouth whose name has escaped, with Julian Simon. Simon wrote a remarkable book called The Ultimate Resource. Simon was an economist who had set out to document the coming dire shortages as we ran out of natural resources. As he examined the data he came to an astonishing realization; we aren't running out of resources. In the introduction to his book Simon offered a wager to anyone reading the book, up to twenty thousand dollars if they could identify a diminishing natural resource, as indicated by the increasing price of the resource. The Ehrlich gang accepted the bet, dividing the wager among five or six relatively rare mineral resources. They lost on all five over a period of either five or ten years, to eliminate spurious variations.
After Holdren and Ehrlich had lost the bet, Simon speaking to an audience of about fifteen people, noted that Ehrlich would be on Johnny Carson's show with an audience of several million that night. Catastrophe sells. Ehrlich was a scientific icon, dispite not just having lost the bet to Simon, but having written three or four of the most ridiculously wrong books about coming starvation, one of which was “The Population Bomb.” Ehrlich was real big on forced sterilization, and was among those advising the Chinese to restrict population to one child. Both Ehrlich and his ACLU director wife were stalwarts in the "Zero Population Growth" cabal.
Holdren won a MacArthur “Genius award” for never having done science and for proselytizing Marxism, lecturing in the E.F. Schumacher tradition, with fellow Schumacher ideologue Amory Lovins. For Holdren and possibly for Ehrlich and Lovins, also an ardent Schumacher acolyte, “Small is Beautiful,” the Schumacher bible, led inevitably to Marxism. It made Holdren and Ehrlich wealthy, and appeals in many of the same ways that socialism does, arranging society so that the poor dumb citizens and subjects have better lives, in spite of themselves. Of course the poor must never have learned about all the money Gore, Kleiner Perkins, and the finance community will make trading carbon credits. How clever to have found a scam to allow the taxing of air!
It may all be a con game, playing on the wide audiences for catastrophe. What else could Al Gore, silver spoon and all, have done but sell fire and brimstone? What else is global warming but fire and brimstone? Obama and his old left comrades have to make it as bad as they can before we might buy their solution, socialism-Marxism-Communism, with them in charge. After all, they have been practicing for thirty years or more.
Holdren was part of the group that killed Rancho Seco, a brand new nuclear plant. The Sierra Club, before they were taken over by the hard left, promoted nuclear power because of its safety and complete lack of pollution. Its safety has been proved in sixty years of by far the best safety record of any energy producing technology. But selling fear is easier than selling a perfect safety record - no deaths from commercial nuclear power in over sixty years isn't news. Chernoble wasn't commercial. It had no containment. And yet, the coal which replaced the power generated by the graphite core reactor, similar to our first Fermi reactors, killed far more people from respiratory disease in just one year - about 200 - than died in the fire at Chernoble or from radio nucleotide release - about 20.
Holdren knows the truth, but wants the U.S. on a diet, like Michelle. No diet for him of course. Theresa Kerry rewards him lavishly with her first husband's fortune, and pays for the endowed chair at Harvard's Kennedy School.
