I’ve never seen anything quite like this in my now 40 years in Washington. I’ve never seen anything like the enlistment of the mainstream media in a political crusade — and this is a political crusade, because it’s about how we should be governed and how we should live; those are the great questions of politics. It is clearly for some people a surrogate religion. It’s a spiritual quest. It offers redemption. But what it also always offers, whether it is global cooling or global warming, is a rationale for the government to radically increase its supervision of our life and our choices. Whether the globe is cooling, whether it’s warming, the government’s going to be the winner and the governing class will be the winner.

I've also featured that very chilling statement from George Wills.
I'm encouraged somewhat by the fact that he is determined to speak up, and he has a loud voice, syndicated throughout the US.
I'm also encouraged by a gut feeling that the tide is turning against the alarmists as the reality (and the cost) of the greem medicine strats to become apparent...
