Strange but true – Bin Laden on Global Warming

From My Way News

The world of climate change alarmism just got a new ally. No I’m not kidding.

CAIRO (AP) – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called in a new audiotape for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming.

In the tape, aired in part on Al-Jazeera television Friday, bin Laden warns of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.

Umm, where have we heard this before?

He obviously is making a play for the soon to be vacant top slot on the IPCC. As an employee of the UN he will have diplomatic imunity.

If you support the IPCC, the terrorists win?

They needed him in Copenhagen last month. Perhaps he can guest edit RC.

That’s good, the IPCC needs a new spokesperson.

Global Warming has officially jumped the shark!
Warmers, when a terrorist mastermind agrees with your views, perhaps its time to reconsider

Support for the AGW hoax from beyond the grave! I’ve seen nothing that would incline me to doubt that Bin Laden has been dead since 2001. But his war against western civilization does have some eerie parallels with the AGW conspirators.

Bin Laden is not stupid.
He has identified AGW policies provide a much more potent tool to harm the US economy than any terrorist attack.
Yes, Obama and Bin Laden, all good friends now:

At least he is honest in his prescription to “bring the wheels of the US economy to a halt,” instead of hiding behind unjustifiable optimism about the capabilities of cap and trade and alternative energy sources to reduce CO2 emissions without killing the economy.

He must be feeling the heat.

Does he provide training bootcamps for the Earth Liberation Front division of PETA?

I wonder how much CO2/carbon and other nasty chemicals is emitted by a suicide bomber when he/she pushes the button? Has anyone calculated whether it’s carbon neutral or not? Should they have to buy carbon offsets in order to blow themselves up? After all somebody has to use manufacture all the materials, transport them to the bomb factory, possibly use a fossil fuel vehicle to deliver the bomber and bomb to the target, etc. Has Al Gore explored this potential market for offsets?

I wonder how much CO2 was put into the air on September 11, 2001.

He’s just heard that Pachauri’s on his way out and is making a bid for the leadership of the IPCC!

I suppose it will only be a matter of time before Bin Laden appears in a new WWF commercial.

Pretty soon we have a nice little freak show collected.

A new bedfellows?
Bin Laden, Al Gore, Tony Blair, George Bush, Margaret Thatcher, etc!
What a strange world we live in.
With kind regards,

Amazingly, Osama’s climate change policy is identical to Obama’s climate change policy… :laugh:
