enemies of individual freedom and free enterprise have used scare tactics to advance their agenda. I see. Sorry. I got sidetracked by the list and never did read the rest of the post. That list or one like it has been showing up here for a decade. Bugs me every time. I don't see any reasonable way to induce "enemies of individual freedom and free enterprise" from subscribing to the human effect on global warming. Not that illogic ever stopped folks from forming and advancing opinions. From that brief piece, I suspect that the gratuitous characterization wasn't specific to the point being made but general to Gore and company, which could be either environmentalists or liberals, probably the former. One could argue that neither group is exactly BFF with individual freedom and free enterprise. Any property rights zealot, for example, would hold that opinion. And environmentalists have never been popular with business. It's a frequently repeated meme among GW debunkers. Perhaps because the GW cure would be so brutal to business/the economy as they know it. You can see why they would prefer not to go through the cure, whether simple self interest or self interest induced denial.
