Blue Planet in Green Shackles: A Book by Vaclav Klaus

The President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, spoke yesterday at the Mont Pelerin Society meeting here in Tokyo.    

He is a well known global warming skeptic and author of a ‘Blue Planet in Green Shackles’.   In the book's introduction, the President explains,

“The book aspires to be nothing more than lay knowledge of the natural sciences.  Yet I do not see this as a handicap.  The problem of global warming is much more about the social sciences than about natural ones, more about economics than climatology, more about a human being and his or her freedom than about an increase in the global mean temperatures by tenths of degrees Fahrenheit.”
