As a bonus we offer you some of the best statements of our current president related to ecology, EU and the Czech presidency.
Global warming and the environment:
„Some people believe in irrational things and events – some of them in UFOs, some in witches, some in fairy-tales, some in omnipotent governments, some in global warming.“
„If we accept global warming as a real phenomenon, I believe we should address it in an absolutely different way…we should prepare ourselves for its consequences…While some deserts may get larger and some ocean shores flooded, enormous parts of the earth – up until now empty because of their severe, cold climate – may become fertile areas able to accommodate millions of people.“
“more people will be able to afford cheaper vegetables and fruit so that less will die of cancer; and less people will freeze to death, while overheating will not kill that many”
“It is an evident waste of society’s resources to try to combat an increase of solar activity or the movement of ocean currents. No government action can stop the world and nature from changing. Therefore, I disagree with plans such as the Kyoto Protocol or similar initiatives...”
“I do not believe the whole idea to combat climate change by emission limits is rational...”
“Global warming is a myth and I think that every serious person and scientist says so…IPCC is not a scientific body: it's a political institution, a kind of non-government organization with green flavor.”
“I'm ready to go at the end of September to New York, where the UN secretary-general is organizing, a day before the General Assembly, a specific conference on global warming, where it will be a gathering of all the ‘Gore-ites’. They have, ‘by mistake‘, invited also me. And I'm going to have to give a very tough speech.“
