Now You Know it is a 'Serious' Matter

When Osama Bin Laden lines up with the weather fanatics, you know you are dealing with some serious stuff. From a BBC report:

'Bin Laden' blames warming on US

A new message said to be from al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has blamed global warming on the US and other big industrial nations.

The audio tape, broadcast on al-Jazeera TV, urges a boycott of the US dollar "to free humankind from slavery".

It comes days after another tape said to be from Bin Laden was released, praising the attempted bombing of a US airliner on 25 December.

The authenticity of neither tape has been verified.

But IntelCenter, a US group that monitors Islamist activity, has said the voice on the earlier tape appeared to be that of Bin Laden.

"All industrial nations, mainly the big ones, are responsible for the crisis of global warming," the latest tape says.

"This is a message to the whole world about those who are causing climate change, whether deliberately or not, and what we should do about that."

"Bush the son, and the [US] Congress before him, rejected this [Kyoto Protocol] agreement only to satisfy the big companies"

I can think of no better endorsement to verify the integrity of the "climate warming" cause than having the world #1 nutcase proclaiming the validity of your point of view. Maybe he will convince the enviro-fanatics to declare a "jihad" or at least issue a "fatwa" against any honest discussion of climate, climate models, weather data, and data manipulation.
