    Phil Kerpen is a smart man, I read all of his columns and this one was good… Americans are being fooled over all this “green” talk…

    It’s all in Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear,” and Bjorn Lomborg’s “The Skeptical Environmentalist.” Global warming penalties are the “affirmative action” of globalist economic development.
