Climate change concerns being set aside in light of financial woes

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2008-10-23 10:49.

Following in the same theme as the previous Coalblog post, it is becoming increasingly apparent that people around the world are growing weary of demands for immediate implementation of carbon emissions.

As taxpayers and utility ratepayers are staring a global economic recession in the face, they are becoming more and more vocal in their demands that their elected leaders prioritize "economic cooling" over global warming.

An October 23rd International Herald Tribune article described remarks made by former Spanish Prime Minister José Maria Aznar.

Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar has likened champions of the fight against global warming to creators of an intolerant religion.

Aznar said Wednesday he does not deny global warming, but rather questions the fact that so much money is being dedicated to combat it while the world is in an economic crisis.
