RE:The global warming movement as we have known it is dead. With Gore, Bin Laden and Chomsky having a mind meld he cannot be serious. I predict great things for the global warming movement now that Osama has jumped on the band wagon. LOL ===================================================================================================== Osama bin Laden enters global warming debate Osama bin Laden has surprisingly appeared to enter the debate on climate change by blaming industrialised countries for global warming. By Adrian Blomfield, Middle East Correspondent Published: 4:53PM GMT 29 Jan 2010 Apparently speaking in his second audio broadcast of the month, Bin Laden criticised George W Bush, the former US president, for not signing the Kyoto Protocol on regulating carbon emissions, and spoke out against excessive corporate influence in the United States. He also presented himself as an opponent of government bail outs to western banks, whose speculation and unfair competition practices, he claimed, were largely to blame for the global financial crisis. "When those perpetrators fall victims to the evil they have created, the heads of state rush to rescue them using public money," he said. It was one of the al-Qaeda chief's more unusual messages, doubly so as he largely eschewed references to religion and violence. Demonstrating a surprising concern for the environment, Bin Laden voiced his dismay at recent international efforts to tackle global warming. "Discussing climate change is not an intellectual luxury, but a reality," he said. "All of the industrialised countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis." Setting out his ideas for financial recovery in a message apparently timed to coincide with the World Economic Forum in Davos, Bin Laden echoed Russian calls for an end to international reliance on the US dollar. Recognising that such a step could cause short term upheaval, he insisted that ultimately the dollar's demise as a global reserve currency would emancipate mankind from the slavery of corporate America. The terror chief also appeared to reveal himself to be a reader of the Guardian when he quoted from an interview with Noam Chomsky, the liberal linguistics professor, which appeared in the newspaper in November. "Chomsky was right when he pointed to a resemblance between American policies and the approach of mafia gangs," he said. "Those are the real terrorists." Western intelligence has yet to be verify the authenticity of the recording, which was broadcast on al-Jazeera television, but independent experts said the voice on it appeared to be Bin Laden's.
