No, I have a better idea.


By e-mail, Liberal Catnip (who still has a long way to go to reach 4,000 posts since she continually wastes time fluffing up her blog entries with adjectives and adverbs and, you know, proper grammar, that sort of stuff) draws our attention to this delightful proposal:

A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore (http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no) and PBS newsman Bill Moyers, for his October 11th global warming edition of “Moyers on America” titled “Is God Green?” (http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts/index.html ) have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to promote their projects, is now advocating Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming. Grist Magazine’s staff writer David Roberts called for the Nuremberg-style trials for the “bastards” who were members of what he termed the global warming “denial industry.”

While I'm sure that idea has merit, I suggest a simpler, more time-conscious approach:




Personally, I'd start with this guy.

BY THE WAY, go give LC some love. This piece is worth a few minutes of your time.

BY THE WAY (2), given that that book is scheduled for release on Oct. 16, feel free to predict how long it takes for American right-wing pundits to accuse it of being part of a sleazy, carefully-timed Democratic operation to undermine the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.

Remember, you read it here first.
