Much of the radical Green agenda calls for the immediate slowdown of industry throughout the world, or strict government intervention and regulation,
both of which would have drastic and immediate effects on the national and global economies. So the question becomes, with our current economic

We tend to agree. As Lorne Gunter notes
here, the last 30 years of warming have literally disappeared in a single year. The idea of a consensus

It brings to mind the famous quote from Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people
some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time." In the Green agenda's case, it seems they won't be able to fool
anyone too much longer.
