The French Get Cooler and Cooler

First they elect Sarkozy.  He backs us on the world stage and understands what it takes to fight against terrorism.

Now the French Scientists are calling it like they see it when it comes to the debate on Global Warming.  One is calling Al Gore a crook and his followers religious zealots.  I think his exact words were, “M. Gore est un escroc. Et un pénis décomposé. Ses sectateurs sont tous les fanatiques religieux.”

From Bloomberg here via Drudge:

Claude Allegre, a former education minister and a physicist by profession is a Climate change skeptic. His new book, “Ma Verite Sur la Planete” (“My Truth About the Planet”), doesn’t mince words.

He calls Gore a “crook” presiding over an eco-business that pumps out cash. As for Gore’s French followers, the author likens them to religious zealots who, far from saving humanity, are endangering it. Driven by a Judeo-Christian guilt complex, he says, French greens paint worst-case scenarios and attribute little-understood cycles to human misbehavior.

He dismisses talk of renewable energies, such as wind or solar power, saying it would take a century for them to become a serious factor in meeting the world’s energy demands.

And the French are also sensible when it comes to using nuclear power.  Most of France is powered by Nuke plants which are clean and efficient.
