The Vaclav Klaus Climate Joke Awards
======
Update :: 09.03.2008
The blogger sent me a note :
These awards, it should be pointed out, are created with a sense of humor, and they are for people with a sense of humor, a sense of outrage and a sense of proportion. In addition, it should also be pointed out online that these awards in no way mock President Klaus as a human being or as a national president, he is an upstanding man in all senses of the word. In fact, these awards are set up to showcase quotes on both sides of the aisle, pro and con global warming, with Professor Klaus's name attached just for fun, because it is he who first said that "climate is a joke".
But in no way does this award contest want to mock Mr Klaus. In fact he should be honored that he has been so honored, since he believes that climate change is a joke. And one hears that he does have a good sense of humour.
So quotes and people on both sides of the debate, pro and con climate change, are welcome. This is equal opportunity humor. Although it does seem that the denialsts are getting most of the awards so far. Why is that?
Thanx. I love this blogger's humor.
According to Prince Charles, it can be said that Mr. Klaus is sharing "sheer madness".
