Yeah.
I'd have to say this is the kind of article that gives the so-called 'alarmist' side of the AGW debate a bad name.
But then, what can one expect from the religious right/left/confused.

"After all, we know that the burning of petroleum, coal, and natural gas is primarily responsible for global warming."

We don't, of course, know anything of the sort, because we have no hard evidence that 'global warming' is related to CO2 levels or that it has continued after the year 2000. Antarctic sea ice coverage is headed for record levels and Arctic ice is well above its normal lows. Even the warmistas admit that there has been 'no significant warming' for ten years.

Enjoy the flow of funds from panic-stricken politicians and members of the public while you can -- it surely can't last much longer.

"Arctic sea ice loss is three times greater than Antarctic sea ice gain."

This is the Bill McKibben, the man the author praises lavishly in his article.

The video below is a form of tragic comedy.

Repeat after me...I,(insert name here) am a mindless ideologue.

The author's capacity to blame everyone but the Greeks for the mess Greece is in knows no bounds.

Here is Matthew Lynn’s take on the Greek crisis, which I suspect is nearer the mark:

Greece “cheated and lied its way into the single currency. It had gone on a massive borrowing spree to cover up the inefficiencies of its economy. When it was offered the chance to reform itself, it had rejected that option and instead chose for itself a socialist prime minister who peddled the easy line that the country could simply carry on spending other people’s money to get itself out of trouble.”

Joe, how fast and by what amount do you think the tectonic plates are moving?
