Thursday afternoon I received an e-mail from someone up on the
Hill regarding the confirmation hearing for environmental
activist and longtime (spectacularly failed) prognosticator of
disaster, Dr. John Holdren.
Holdren has been nominated to serve as, of all things, chief
science advisor to the president. This is odd for a variety of
reasons, most of which distill to his history of telling us how
the wretched masses - meaning mostly those breeders who he can’t
see from Cambridge, Mass. but he knows are out there, hatching
babies - are trashing the place and will have amazing,
Technicolor hell to pay really, really soon.
In short, he’s “Population Bomb” and “Population Explosion”
Malthusian Paul Ehrlich’s Doppelganger, having collaborated with
Ehrlich for decades on saying a lot of very stupid
things.
Well, old habits die hard. The email I received noted that
Louisiana Senator David Vitter had a difficult time simply
rolling over for the notion that this guy should stroll into
regular access to the president without having to remind
everyone, for the record, of just what a Moonbat he really is.
Per my correspondent:
Vitter got Holdren to admit (three times) that he thinks
1 billion
people will die from Global Warming by 2020.
That’s right, one beeellion bodies! Imagine if the
recent cooling trend weren’t
projected even by alarmists to continue until then (by the
way, what’s “global warming” without the “warming”?). I mean,
that’s already as many people as Americans who will lose their
jobs in two months if we don’t immediately pass the Porculus
bill, by Nancy Pelosi’s math.
You could say I’ve written about Holdren’s kind - in fact, I do
discuss him, including his unique path into the National Academy
of Sciences as well as his team’s increasingly
desperate portfolio of tricks,
here - so he’s not exactly a complete surprise no matter how
startling his selection remains.
With the kind of record Holdren trailed in on the heel of his
shoe, no wonder Team Soros
reports that he was instructed “not to make news” today.
Well, the compliant press made sure of that. Heard this anywhere
else? Ooh, wait, let me guess: they already knew “global
warming” would kill a billion in the next decade. News?
Let this be a heads up, just in case you were wondering whether
they really were going to try and pull the trigger on Kyoto-style
energy rationing in this administration. I’d say this signals
“yes”, or the guys with the butterfly nets might get called to
the West Wing soon enough to slap a (might I add, well-earned)
44-extra long on a particular gentleman whose ranting escalated
beyond its usual, fevered pitch.
The good news is they may actually be forced out into the open on
it, what with Kyoto expiring and our European hectors demanding
we sign on to its (surely even uglier) progeny this very year.
The better news is that John Holdren is the guy we can point to
as being behind it, if and when it surfaces.
