Vaclav Klaus – A Troublemaker? (Václav Klaus – Buřič?)

March 11, 2009

Článek v ČEŠTINĚ dole (Klikněte na “Read the rest …”)

Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic is well known for his disapproval of the Czech Republic joining the European Union. He is also known for his disbelief of global warming. Recently, he visited the United States to speak about global warming and climate change. He was supposed to meet with Al Gore, the chairman of the Alliance for Climate Protection, but while Gore spoke at The Wall Street Journal ECO:nomics Conference in Santa Barbara, California, Klaus was on the plane to the USA. Was it on purpose to avoid them clashing with each other?

 

Originally, Al Gore was to meet Vaclav Klaus, but Gore’s speech was rescheduled to Thursday, making it impossible for the two of them to meet. Klaus’ arguments about global temperature decreasing would probably contradict Gore’s speech The New Inconvenient Truth. Klaus would probably argue with him about environmentalism and its impact on economic growth. Maybe it was a good thing they did not meet but for sure an interesting and heated discussion was avoided. Vaclav Klaus is already viewed as a troublemaker at home and also abroad. His website, Klaus.cz, collects interesting statements, monologues and speeches that can reveal more about him as a politician, but also as an individual.

 

Here are some of his statements that we have picked:

Is Environmentalism a Bigger Threat to Humanity than Global Warming?
Environmentalism is a much bigger threat and what is endangered is freedom and prosperity, not climate.
Science does not give us clear and strong evidence that dangerous and even measurable human-caused global warming is occurring

 

Dinner Speech: Is Capitalism in Crisis?
We witness a government failure, not a market failure as some politicians try to tell us.
The current economic crisis is a “just” price for the playing with the market by the politicians. 
The crisis originated here, in the U.S. Those who are responsible for it are the federal government and the central bank, the Fed.

 

Climate Change Debate
There is no one unique, unprecedented climate change just now
The current climate changes cannot be subsumed under the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming.
The Earth’s climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide is lower than is assumed by the IPCC.
There is no fixed and stable relationship between measured temperature and CO2 emissions.
The environmentalists don’t want to change the climate. They want to change us and our behavior.

 

Europe, Global Warming and the Current Economic Crisis: As Seen From Prague
The problem is not global warming, but the ideology which uses or misuses it. It has gradually turned into the most efficient vehicle for advocating extensive government intervention into all fields of life and for suppressing human freedom and economic prosperity.
In the moment of the fall of communism, almost 20 years ago, I did not expect to experience such an extent of government intervention into my own life as I see now.

Václav Klaus, prezident České republiky je dobře znám pro svůj nesouhlas se vstupem České republiky do Evropské unie. Je také znám pro jeho nevěřícnost v globální oteplování. Nedávno navštívil Spojené státy aby promluvil o globálním oteplování a klimatických změnách. Původně se měl setkat s Al Gorem, předsedou Aliance pro ochranu klimatu, ale zatímco Gore hovořil na The Wall Street Journal ECO: nomics konferenci v Santa Barbaře, Kalifornie, Klaus byl v letadle na cestě do USA. Bylo to schválně, aby se zabránil jejich střet?

Al Gore se měl původně sejít s Václavem Klausem, ale Gorův projev byl přeložen na čtvrtek, takže to bylo nemožné, aby se oba setkali. Klausovy argumenty o klesajících globálních teplotách by zřejmě byly v rozporu s Gorovým projevem The New Inconvenient Truth. Klaus by se asi s ním neshodl o environmentalismus a jeho vlivu na ekonomický růst. Možná, že to byla dobrá věc, že se oba nesetkali, ale určitě byla zmařena zajímavá a vznětlivá diskuze. Václav Klaus je již vnímán jako buřič doma i v zahraničí. Jeho internetové stránky, Klaus.cz, shrnují zajímavé prohlášení, monology a proslovy, které mohou prozradit více o něm jako politikovi, ale i jednotlivci.

Zde jsou některé z jeho prohlášení, které jsme vybrali:

Environmentalismus je větší hrozba pro lidstvo než globální oteplování?
Environmentalismus je mnohem větší hrozbou, a to, co je ohroženo, je svoboda a prosperita, ne klima.
Věda nám nedává jasné a přesvědčivé důkazy o tom, že dochází k nebezpečnému a lidmi-způsobenému globální oteplování.

Proslov u večeře: Je kapitalismus v krizi?
Jsme svědky selhání vlády, nikoli selhání trhu, jak se nám někteří politici snažit namluvit.
Současná ekonomická krize je “jen” cenou za hry politiků na trhu.
Krize vznikla zde v USA, je za ní odpovědná federální vláda a centrální banka Fed.

Debata o změně klimatu
Neexistuje jedinečná, nevídaná změna klimatu.
Současné klimatické změny nelze zařadit pod hypotézu o antropogenním globálním oteplování.
Vliv oxidu uhličitého na zemské klima je menší, než předpokládá IPCC.
Neexistuje žádná pevná a stabilní souvislost mezi teplotou a CO2 emisemi.
Ekologové nechtějí změnu klimatu. Chtějí změnit nás a naše chování.

Evropa, globální oteplování a současné hospodářské krize: Co je pozorovatelné z Prahy
Problém není globální oteplování, ale ideologie, která jej používá nebo zneužívá. Postupně se změnilo v nejúčinnější prostředek pro prosazování rozsáhlých zásahů státu do všech oblastí života a pro potlačování lidské svobody a ekonomické prosperity.
Od doby pádu komunismu, téměř před 20 lety, bych nikdy neočekával takovou míru zásahu vlády do mého vlastního života, jako to vidím teď.

That would be an interesting discussion if they have met

That would be an interesting discussion if they have met :o)
I was reading up on Klaus’ journal on idnes when he was here - I enjoyed it.

I also agree with Klaus. Since when does something

Shirley Draeger | March 13, 2009 | 10:01 am

I also agree with Klaus. Since when does something become scientific gospel without endless and honest study and debate? Well I guess when Al Gore declares via a movie that man is destroying the planet. There are many, many valid issues facing the world that should be debated and studied. This whole “carbon offset” has got to be the biggest scam I have ever seen! Personally if Gore walked the talk I would be more inclined to buy what he is selling. He doesn’t. I think you would be amazed at how many Americans actually do agree with Klaus. Strong economies help countries to participate and preserve the environment as well as a way of life. The notion that some countries should stunt their growth while other countries do not is simply foolish. I applaud Klaus for having the courage to say what he really believes, even if it is unpopular with zealots that believe humans should just go away and leave the earth alone!
