President Vaclav Klaus - Climate change & freedom

[gadionson1]

very nice speech, very intelligent

[kabos88cz]

@PigiaMimi wth u tralkin about! fuck u man! pen was a gift to be kept after the meeting., im czech and it was FUNNY all right hahaa, but come on

[kabos88cz]

@PigiaMimi the pen was his u fucking retard

[m8s4lif]

I don't know if he stole someones pen or not. If stealing a pen was the worse thing that any president of the USA had ever done, this world would be in a lot better condition. The offer to trade presidents is still on.

[Astrologon]

He might or might not be thief ,or an asshole, but he certainly knows, what he's talking about. Sun is controlling the temperature, not man or CO2, and central planning is not an easy task. On the other hand, infinite growth isn't physically possible either, so maybe the answer lies somewhere else entirely.

[Tartersauce101]

he stoll a pen. pretty funny guy, although his views on climate change are even more humorous.

[kabos88cz]

@PigiaMimi the pen was his u fuckin dumbass

[tinarett]

@kabos88cz it wasn't that's why he stole it! you dumbass! You don't steal things that are yours, you just take them. He's got manners like a butcher's dog!

[MrSbronzo]

It is necessary to say it clear: GLOBAL WARNING IS A FRAUD!!!

Great Klaus!

[Vojife]

I am Czech and I am really ashamed for his accent...

[kabos88cz]

@Vojife

[kabos88cz]

@Vojife and im ashamed for your stupidity! he knows english better then some americans! you still ashamed!

[Vojife]

@kabos88cz LOL? I said accent! He is very good in english, I'm talking about the accent!

[wdbw4life]

@PigiaMimi A diplomatic pen with the state symbols is and was always a normal GIFT for members of their delegations. It's a medial campaign against him. The people in the CR love him but the multinational companies and EU politicians hate him. It's a shame what happens.

[tinarett]

@wdbw4life Wrong Czech people hate him! Klaus only cares about himself and his pocket, he has never shown concern for people in CZ. he is a thieving bastard how he proved in Chile. Diplomatic gift you put in your pocket with the box, not sneakily put it in your pocket when noone is looking. He made a fool of himself and no one will take him seriously!

[kabos88cz]

@tinarett that pen was his he couldve wiped his ass with it if he wanted, u dumbass

[tinarett]

@kabos88cz he wasn't signing anything that day, wasn't his but the finance ministers. And if it was his why was he stealing it? errm

[kabos88cz]

@tinarett dude the pen was given to him, he wouldve taken it after! so w.e look it up pimp

[kabos88cz]

@tinarett and i love him im czech!

[tinarett]

@kabos88cz He must be sharing with you his loot!!

[wdbw4life]

@tinarett Are you kidding me? The majority stands behind him. He is the most popular politician in the CR, with over 60% popularity rating. It's also a fact that he didn't stole this pan. It's a diplomatic pan, read also something about this.

[tinarett]

@wdbw4life that's right because at least 60% of czechs are thieves that's why they love him.

[wdbw4life]

@tinarett LOL facts, facts, facts. You are a genius!!! You make a fool of yourself.

[MattMurdockCZ]

@tinarett And are you one of them?

[SupremeAmerican]

He speaks the truth. Thus explaining why the massive smear campaign is underway to tarnish him in the eyes of the blind liberal sheeple. He stole a pen.

Solární energie je dobrá tak akorát na ohřátí bazénu, pro soukromé použití. Ve velkém je to předražené, naprosto k ničemu a divili byste se, že i dost neekologické. Ještě horší je "větrná energie"...

[Nuncius3]

@BrutalPCPlayer A navíc vyrábí elektřinu jen přes den, kdy je nejméně potřeba. Možnosti akumulace vyrobené elektřiny se v ČR vážou v podstatě jen na 2 přečerpávací vodní elektrárny (efektivnější způsob jsme zatím nevymysleli) a prodávat ji taky není moc kam, protože v okolních zemích mají se solárem ten stejný problém. Výsledkem je přetížená síť, což jsou další peníze do luftu. Jediné využití je leda tak na velké budovy k pohonu klimatizací, jinak je to k hovnu.

[Leon612]

"Liberalism is a mental disorder" - Michael Savage

[reunion503]

Notice the part where he talks about CO2 reduction in post-communist countries such as the Czech Republic had caused the reduction of GDP. In fact, what happened back then had nothing to do with "going green". The economy drop was the result of the messed up privatization of the industry. This guy should know. He was the minister of finance back then. Has anyone actually bother to verify there is an actual link between CO2 reduction and GDP? Don't believe everything you hear or read.

[kokozwoman]

vaclave klausy bud sticha my stím nesouhlasíme - czech republic

[jkhgfasop]

@kokozwoman: Raději ještě trochu trénuj pravopis a pak se vyjadřuj (nejlépe za sebe) ;-)

[13Kyller13]

czech republic forever

[judomagyar]

God bless Vaclav Klaus!

Isn't that dumb ass reporter the arrogant one?

CO2 is plant food. We would all die without CO2.

CO2 is insignificant with respect to the amount of the dominant greenhouse gas, water-vapor. And H2O has an unlimited supply in the OCEANS!!!

[ceskakorouhev]

Pan prezident ví moc dobře co se děje ve vyšších kruzích a co je cílem organizací jako CFR etc...

[duuf94]

@ceskakorouhev

Pana prezidenta financují rusové konkrétně Lukoil. Je mi zle co člověk neudělá pro peníze, klidně předá republiku rusům...

[tralalak4444]

@duuf94 jsi pouze hloupy a zavistivy clovek, bez se radeji nacpat parky na mitink socanu

[duuf94]

Čemu mám závidět? Vaší upjatosti, nebo neinformovanosti, či blbosti?

[HEN0CH]

Global warming is only Illuminati and freemasonic agenda and propaganda... God belss you Mr.president !

[duuf94]

Jo! No jo! A všichni světový vědci sou zkorumpovaný hovada, ne? Všichni světový politický špičky jsou úplně vedle, ale Český prezident má jako jediný ten správný názor...XD

Jsme s ním šaškové s klaunem na hradě.

[pavelingenio]

Bože ty jsi nevzdělanec.

[picakkk]

@duuf94 retarde retarde retarde...Klaus je jedním z njkeváženějších ekonomů ve světě mezi svobodomyslnými lidmi. Ano vědci falšovali údaje, ano je to cílený spiknutí kontrolovaný lidma vy vyšších kruzích o kterých TY nemáš ani ponětí tak drž svojí zkurvenou hubu

[duuf94]

@picakkk

Za to ty máš všechno pod palce pane Nikdo, tobě se světové špičky svěřují s problémy. Pane Nikdo už radši nikde nereagujte- mohli by jsme se příště pozvracet... Umíš vůbec něco než jen nadávat?

[gorg22222]

@duuf94 světové "špičky" jo? njn, uznávat ty, kteří se jen poplácávají po rameni... Klaus protlačuje nepopulární názor jako skoro jediný politik. tisíce vědců, kteří podepsali petici, že člověkem způsobené změny klimatu jsou nesmysl, si i ty do svých úvah nezapočetl. asi nepatří mezi špičky. Klaus nemá podporu ani levice ani pravice. Zvláštní že právě u nás je tak nepopulární zatímco Američané jsou z něj nadšení. Doufám, že ze zdražení elektřiny kvůli solar. panelům máte spokojenost? :)

[duuf94]

@gorg22222

Tak moment..

1)"Poplácávají po rameni"?!! Vy označujete osoby, které mají zodpovědnost za válku v Iráku, Afganistánu jako osoby poplácávající se po rameni?!

2) Jak souvisí Bursíkův "nápad" v podobě dotování sol. elektřiny, s mím názorem na věc?

Zvláštní že, když říkáte 1000 vědců, tak se o té petici vůbec nemluví..

Američané milují jiný názor než jim podsouvá vláda- zabití Kenedyho (zosnovala CIA) 11. září 2001( americká vláda-záminka pro vpád amerických vojsk na východ)

[gorg22222]

@duuf94 ad 1) Válka v Afgh.,Iráku ? Nechápu souvislost v tomto kontextu?

ad 2) Podpora tzv. obnovitelných zdrojů je to proti čemu VK vystupuje, zatímco SZ ho implementovali spolu s jinými stranami velmi bujaře. Vlastně nás k tomu nutí EU...z politiků je Klaus jeden z mála,kteří právě tuto politiku Bruselu kritizuje. Dotace solar.panelů jsou toho důsledkem v praxi.Zdražení jako ovoce boje s oteplováním

[duuf94]

@gorg22222

1) Ne to vy jste to vytrhl z kontextu. Pokud jste si to přečetl celé a já pevně věřím, že ano, tak by jste věděl na co jsem narážel.

2) Dobře Unie si dala cíl, že od roku 2003 do r. 2010 má být využívána solární energie 30ti násobně, máte v daněm smyslu slova pravdu, že nás ktomu nutí, ALE EU solární energii podporuje, výkupní ceny ale nestanovuje, takhle štedrou výkupní cenu, díky které bude dražší el. proud,stanovil stát a stanovil cenu na 15 let!! EU má v tomhle podíl minimální!!

[duuf94]

@gorg22222

Ad. Nabízí se otázka proč Klaus kritizuje EU? Měl by se přece opřít do českých politiků? No ano, i on sám byl přece politikem- a taky dělal chyby. Proč koneckonců kritizovat někoho kdo mu tu může oponovat, když může nadávat na někoho kdo se nemůže bránit, že? Klaus kritizuje tuto politiku? Takže v podstatě kritizuje evropské peníze- Nóó nevím jak Vám, ale mě něco říká.. Klaus už by mohl skončit...

[gorg22222]

@duuf94 Ad. petice přes 3000 vědců je otázka, proč se o ní skoro nemluví, ne že by neexistovala. O čem mluvit je. Je to dokonce více vědců než těch z IPCC

[ErgotoxinCZ]

I'm not sure who's more naive and short-sighted, good old Vaclav or the people here.

[karatekla]

Great person, but why did he sign the Lisbon Treaty :-(

[soniaslansky]

Maybe he did not have other choice. He is the speaker for the people but you can do only so much by yourself if you do not have the support of the people, wish that more people will become more open minded and listen to what he says or question things like Lisbon Treaty for themselves, many people even have no idea what it is, too bad....

[karatekla]

Yes I'm sure he's had a very heavy preasure. Sarkozy, Merkel and the whole BIlderberg Club could be even capable to blackmail, I think. The same happened to Ireland I believe. Now it's too late to get out of this nazi-made European Union. Very very sad. And, I agree with you, the people are closed-minded and don't want to accept awful realities.

[mebe84]

the czech supreme court was involved in pressuring him to sign the lisbon treaty from what i've heard

[HEN0CH]

Because he must... You know he was the last...

[karatekla]

Yes he will have had heavy pressures :-( What a Bilderberger HELL. Criminals.

[terezkaOOO]

@karatekla He had to dowe, CR, ireland and poland didnt want to sign it.. poland said that when irealdnd would sign it, they will do it again.. in Britain there were some changes in goverment and people also didnt wanted to sign it, but it was too late so theyour president to delay it to february but he had to sign it.. czech goverment forced him to do that or he would stop to be a president..blackamailing.. i dont know why this is called democracy..

[Noden793]

Bless Vaclav Klaus, defender of Europe!

[snagillim]

this guy is epic. i have a new favorite video.

[Teaautomat]

So the weak countries would go down under this act...

Pseudocience and politics = politricks... =P

No to the Lisbon treaty and the Copenhagen climate treaty =P

[RonaldKovacs]

truly, a very wise man. His assessment of the candidates for the 2008 U.S. Presidential elections are bang on. He has experienced first hand the path North America is heading down.

[pasoundman]

I've heard of Vaclav Klaus's criticisms of AGW, its protaganosists and their reasons for doing so and I'm glad I found this. First class informed comment

[m8s4lif]

I'm glad to be American, but how about if we trade Presidents. It sounds to me like President Klaus is one very intelligent man.

[janak19771977]

@m8s4lif lol....it would be a unfair trade....you just keep obama

[m8s4lif]

@janak19771977 I don't blame you. I'm sure that I could come up with 2 or 3 other politicians that I would be willing to throw into the trade. Somehow I don't think that you would go for that trade either.

[AdamsTeinz]

@m8s4lif Well I live in the Czech Republic, and he is pretty smart. He worked in economy for quite a while...

[Aashish343]

@m8s4lif Pen Stealer

[tinarett]

@m8s4lif intelligent people don't steal pens on camera! he is a thieving idiot, help yourself. Czechs hate him!

[kabos88cz]

@tinarett czechs love him, pen was his u tards

[BinSheikh]

@m8s4lif Not after stealing the PEN !

[stockholmius]

I´m Czech, i mostly disagree with him in political issues - the refusing of the federalist Europe, for example, but in this case, he´s completly right

[deliandiver]

i am Czech too and i agree with him completely. European Union should be confederation at best. Dissolution of EU would be the best of all.

[WaitingxxRoom]

there is much we should disagree about with Klaus, like that he is his somewhat too friendly with the Russians, and weve all had pretty bad experience with those guys.

However the way he debates against blind environmentalism is great and witty. He is right when he says that it reduces personal freedom and it is right that it is a sort of a new ideology.

He also has a point in his Eurosceptical views. The EU is great but we should be careful so that it doesnt become the next dictatorship....

[Theros2]

well he´s not for Russians, no tries to sign treaties. Russia is here, so we have to talk with them, if we dont talk, what will follow ?

[pasoundman]

What's Russia got to do with it ? Forget the strawman arguments. Do THEY control 'global warming'.

BTW , it's been cooling for the last 10 years. Just look at the published data and even the IPCC say it will continue to cool for another 10 years WHILE CO2 IS INCREASING !

[WaitingxxRoom]

i knoa im not actually saying its not true, i know co2 has notyhing to do with it. ghlobal warming is bs.

[juscurious]

This is a brillant and courageous man. Too bad not many politicians have this type of courage.

[jirikoo]

...and this man is my president - i want to vomit when i hear him reacting to the reporter's arguments. His grimaces and pose are absolutely sickening let alone his opinions. What opinions? His concept is to oppose anything  that comes out of Europe. He is corrupt, incompetent and extremely ridiculous clown. Google "Klaus and russian mafia" p.s.: im not a commie by contrast i regard myself rightist and even agree with him on one (only) thing, which is Laissez-faire policy.

[420946]

Your stupid comments made me want to vomit, maybe you agree with the maniacs who want to de-populate the peoples of the world, you should read the georgia guidstones. Climate change is being used to cull the masses.

[xgalba00]

Let a free market work and not under buerocrats. They like to control everything and to scare people.

[prahasct]

"thief" - Klaus's IQ is WAY over 150!!! i guess yours is 55max

[Teaautomat]

True that :D My IQ is approsimately 120 and his is WAY HIGHER.

[thief00]

im hungarian, i know communism very well, and i would send him to retire, because he is the most harmful thing for europe especially in these hard times.

[thief00]

he may thinks individually, yet he thinks bullshit. how can a man as him say that co2 emission is only the function of gdp??? this is simply bullshit. emission is the function of gdp AND technology. his ideas are out-dated by decades, as an economist his just repeating this preshistoric free-market bullshit, it is history what proves him wrong, he is still fighting some dark communist spirit, which would be gone today if guys like him dont talk about is so much.

[AlexBratt]

You rather listen more carefully - he said co2 is a function of GDP per capita and "emissions intensity" (watch 2:14) = that is the ratio of carbon dioxide to a measure of economic output, and this is influenced by technology.

That you dont understand it doest mean that he thins bullshit. And BTW free market is not bullshit, rather it is what made West great and prosperous.

[marktimmer2212]

lets clean up this planet

starting with management

[GohanMH1]

It is easy for the heads of state to talk about contraception and freedom to procreate. Whatever happens to this world thanks to the overpopulation, they will not face. Humanity must rise, each of us, strivem, struggle and suffer to obtain the unarticulable wisdom for the self-sustaining governance.

[FafifiP]

Vaclav Klaus is not stupid.

Very few politicians in Europe THINK independently. Klaus belongs to this group.

Czechs have a great president. Congratulations!

[82Misha82]

ano, souhlasim.... x

[spiroch]

Lot of people not only in Czech republic thinks, Vaclav Klaus is stupid, etc..but he has a true. For example in the Lisboa document. This document destroy economic not only in Czech republic. All humans rights will be in shit, because, this document give ale rights to Brusel.

[sdsunandfun]

Bless this man.

[mountainpatriot]

Excellent speech. The only voice of reason coming out of totalitarian EU. Czechs can be proud of their president.

[Galanin22]

thank you. we are :)

[spiroch]

ou....thanks very much

[rudahanusek]

We are not proud at all...These opinions are´nt our majority´s opinions..it´s just his opinions..I can´t understand how Dr. Klaus, who is economist, - can oppose hundreds brilliant scientists- climate experts..our majority do not like him at all..we are ashamed for him..

[nikamighty]

Because those scientists arent brilliant,and the ones that are have been bought,the chairman of IPCC is a railway engineer who has no degree in climate related sciences

[Antonio33s]

Also in agreement with Klaus, more than 31,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earths atmosphere and disruption of the Earths climate Yet Gore, Obama and the brainwashed lemmings want to waste millions on programs based on the man-made climate change lie.

[Entropy56]

"What scares me is not Climate Change, but what the left will do about it."

~Dennis Prager

[Entropy56]

Al Gore will look like a fool when this is all over.

Unfortunately Obama will be the first jiggabo US President and will spend billions of tax dollars to fight climate change just like Don Quixote fought windmills.

I wish the US had a leader like Mr Vaclav Klaus.

[palocx]

I agree with Vaclav Klaus!

I am proud of him!!!

who read for example

The Skeptical Environmentalist by Lomborg?

LOMBORG COM

guys can you try correct discussion with correct arguments pls?

thanks in advance

[jwezel]

I have read much about Vaclav Klaus, and I do agree on all he says. He is a very far sighted man, a kind of man which was quite common a few decades ago, but is next to extinct these days. Only people like him can save the world. All power to people like him.

Vaclav Klaus is the 180 degree opposite of Obama Christ The Anointed (Pease Be Upon Him)

[MJMilanek]

Vrtošivý stařík!

[justiceforum]

This person is sick

[GoodMeBad]

Environmentalisim is the nazification of our world and the biggest threat to humanity of the 21st century! I cant believe these bastards are doing this to the world fr their own greed and power! Archie...Scotland

[mpvuk]

You put it so succinctly. I can only congratulate you. It is time to discredit these greedy animals who wish the whole world to submit to their own exploitation. World is in great danger, as we have are seeing their fingers in the "global credit crunch" (translated in understandable language: the biggest economical theft since in the written world history!), we have to stop them.

[jcomd]

Finally a true leader has risen. V. Klaus for US president!!!

[Antonio33s]

I wish we had a true leader like V. Klaus rather than a communist FAKE like Obama as US president! Agreeing with Klaus, more than 650 international scientists dissent over the man-made global warming claims. Their number is more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.

[JarynK]

I am proud to have Mr Vaclav Klaus for a president. He is doing something extraordinary - going against the flow for the truth. Like only a handful of other leaders from our history. Big suprise in the good way!

[pizgacz22]

And, as a Pole, I'm jealous of your president.

[JarynK]

Jsem hrdý na našeho pana presidenta! Dělá něco velice vyjímečného - jde proti vodě aby stál za pravdou. Hus, Masaryk a Klaus. Velké překvapení v dobrém smyslu!

[2xtrbo]

In the 90's Gorbachev (who presided over the Chernobyl environmental disaster) was touring the US talking about environmentalism. At that point I knew that the greatest new threat to my freedom was "green."

[Imenhotep]

jistěže Irsko zvedlo o 50% emise, proboha vždyt tam žrali kořínky a za deset let udělali hospodářský zázrak díky investovaním prostředku z eu do vzdělání a infrastruktury šla životní úroven na dvojnásobek během deseti let, proto šly nahoru emise protože dřív tam nic by dělolo emise neměly, ve srovnání s USA a Čínou je to plivnutí do vody.

[Kadrec]

a Klaus snad říká něco jinýho?

[Changeling9au]

While I have an inherent distrust of political leaders, I must say that Vaclav's various points were spot on.

He is certainly correct in saying that the climate change red herring is political, not scientific.

Furthermore, it is an *anti*-environmental red herring, as it has distracted many well-meaning environmentalists from REAL environmental issues and is utilising their energy to bring in a totalitarian-esque control system, as well as yet another financial scam (carbon credits).

Que bono?
