Good stuff, like

"But military intelligence bears the same relation to intelligence
as military music bears to music."

He certainly has some nice sounding one-liners in there. What he
mostly ignores, and what many others ignore to a much greater
degree, is that if the global warming theories are wrong, and we
reduce emissions, we're out of some luxury items. If they're right,
and we keep the party going, the hangover is going to be lethal.

One thing about the global warming debate that you DONT hear about is
the economic COST of compliance.And not just "luxury items".
Food costs are rising in the US due to use of corn for ethanol
production instead of animal feed.
A gallon of Milk costs more than a gallon of gasoline.

Hell, a gallon of WATER costs more than a gallon of gasoline, if you
buy it at $1.19 a pint at the 7-11. ;-)

Yeah, but a pint of water sure does teste better than a gallon of gas!

you can get low-cost water from your faucets at home,but you can't get milk
from them at any price. many products use corn based sweeteners.
meat prices have risen,too,due to feed costs.

Ah, we're already experiencing the consequences of Global Warmingism. ;-)

Cheers!
