Osama Bin Laden: Climate change is real and the US is to blame
Osama Bin Laden is all over the news this morning, on Drudge, Yahoo, WaPo, CBS, New York Times, and other sites. What did the terrorist do to warrant such headlines?
He talked about climate change. He blamed mostly the United States, and called for a boycott of our goods. Osama Bin Laden apparently has read the IPCC reports, because he claims:
"Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury - the phenomenon is an actual fact"
He said that the only way to stop climate change is to:
"bring the wheels of the American economy to a halt"
Much of what he said sounds no different than any other climate alarmist:
"He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for "drastic solutions" to global warming, and "not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change." - Source
Could Osama Bin Laden have possibly become less relevant? He has mentioned climate change before, but never released an entire recording about it. He waits until now to do so? I'm not sure the alarmists really need Osama Bin Laden on their side.
I do believe that this is actually very fitting for the near future of climate science. Soon only those who live in caves will believe in man-made climate change.

Or maybe those who believe in climate change will live in caves. It’s a zero emissions lifestyle!
