Quote of the Day

Australian geologist Ian Plimer, author of Heaven and Earth -- Global Warming: The Missing Science, quoted in The Vancouver Sun, on the topic of global warming:

Purging humankind of its supposed sins of environmental degradation has become a religion with a fanatical and often intolerant priesthood, especially among the First World urban elites.

That explains why I'm not a global warming true believer. I'm certainly First World, and possibly elite, but definitely not urban. Living in the country makes clear to me how little lasting impact on nature we really have.
