Since there was so much coverage of Mark Steyn’s take no prisoners testimony at the Senate hearing this week, (full text and video) I commissioned Josh to create a cartoon that sums up what went on. It will be in our upcoming U.S. (and Canadian) edition of the Josh -WUWT climate calendar, look for it to be announced very soon – Anthony
Canada loves WUWT! Leo DiCaprio was the laughing stock of Canada yesterday cuz he claimed he watched climate change in action when filming a movie in Calgary. He said he watched a warm wind blow and melt, like 8 feet of snow. Firstly, Calgary has never had 8 feet of snow, and he was clearly referring to one of “Chinook winds.” The main stream media reported widely on it, and cast him out to be pretty stupid.
What’s that saying about hockey…”went to see a hockey game and a boxing match broke out”!!!
No it’s the reverse: “I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out.”
Yes, it was somewhat “disconnected and random”–but he was fighting fire with fire–and it was effective in trumping Markey, where sweet reason wouldn’t have been. (What a world.)
I thought the most brilliant part of Mark Steyn’s presentation was not during the initial testimony but very near the end when he asked permission to respond to what the admiral had to say about why the Pentagon is preparing to address the threat of climate change.
As I recall, Steyn reviewed what he sees as the main security threats and then told the admiral that the Pentagon’s approach was a complete and utter waste of time.
I though that Senator Cruz failed in his heroic effort to suppress a smile but did succeed in suppressing a laugh.
I wonder if the admiral secretly agrees with Steyn. I noted the admiral did not respond in a direct way when Senator Cruz twice asked him point blank if he agrees with the President’s views about climate as a security risk that the Pentagon must prepare for as a priority concern.
They couldn’t find a way to tax the air we breath in, so they decided to try and tax the air we breathe out . It’s called ” Cap and Trade ” or ” Carbon Tax ” !! ….Don’t be fooled again !!
