Fly, shark, fly
On January 31 2007 I suggested that manmade global warming hysteria had jumped the shark. Eleven months later it is pretty obvious that last year’s hysteria is this years belly laugh.
What happened?
Well, first of all everybody got green. Banning incandescent lightbulbs ( a heat source in places like Canada) and plastic grocery bags was about as far s anyone was willing to go to save the planet. Carbon tax…are you joking. Boycott of Chinese made goods? Yeah, right after I get my 54 inch plasma tv.
Even with high gas prices the boom in big car/SUW sales continues.
Bottom line, middle class hysteria fades fast when people are actually asked to change their life style.
Kyoto is dead, Bali was fruitless, the science is unsettled, AlGore is not going to be President, American politicians are not talking about climate change, Canadian politicians still are but that will fade.
Everyone seems to be predicting stuff for 2008: I have two related predictions.
1) Manmade global warming will become a non-issue for all but the most devoted Suzikites.
2) M. Dion will not be the leader of the Liberal Party.
Happy New Year all!
