p> WHERE DO I NOT SIGN? br> Re: William Tucker's Endorse Kyoto : /p>

William Tucker writes, "There are few places where conservatives have come off looking so foolish as their stonewalling on global warming."

p>Looking foolish to whom? Environmentalist wacko Left Coasters? Chablis-sniffing, frite-dipping Bruxellians? The last thing conservatives need to do is "mend fences" with Algore's legions of fantasists. Sorry, Mr. Tucker, but we've got more important things to do. br> -- Doug Welty br> Arlington, Virginia /p>

Mr. Tucker posits for our fare du jour, a rather unpalatable turkey of an idea that Bush and America endorse the Kyoto Protocol, just to make things right with the rest of the world. Pray tell, from whence does this asinine notion, that we have to mend fences with the rest of the world, come from?

Well, I for one say nuts to all this and will wait until Thursday for mine, thank you very much. How trendy of Mr. Tucker to be so enamored with apocryphal anecdotes of global warming, why it's enough to make any Euro-American proud. In addition, he yammers on with the standard Leftist ad hominem screed, that conservatives don't know what they're talking about when it comes to global warming. I'll be the first to concede that when it comes to hot air, the Left knocks the stuffing out of the rest of us. But not to beat around the bush, when attempting to make mincemeat out of skeptics such as Messrs. Lindzen and Singer, Mr. Tucker conveniently fails to mention how other reputable scientists (more than just a few) have made a complete hash of Michael Mann's flawed "Hockey Stick Graph" that have Gore and U.N. member nations all atwitter. Lest we squash Mr. Tucker's hypothesis to a thin gruel, perhaps he can justify his theory in light of the Medieval Climate Optimum of the 9th-14th centuries that had temperatures higher than today's. O.K. enough of this.
