The Climate Jihad

Amidst all the skepticism and nay-saying these days, there's one person who's not afraid to step up and add his voice to the chorus of those who are certain an eco-catastophe is imminent. From the New York Times:

Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, blamed the United States and developed countries for not halting climate change and said that the global economy should immediately abandon its reliance on the American dollar, according to an audiotape released Friday by the broadcaster Al Jazeera.


“Talk about climate change is not an ideological luxury but a reality,” Mr. bin Laden was quoted as saying in a report on Al Jazeera’s English-language Web site. “All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis.”

The authenticity of the tape could not be immediately confirmed, and Al Jazeera, which is based in Qatar, did not say how it had obtained the message...

I have no doubt at all that it's genuine. Fingers crossed, anyway, since Osama supporting the climate change movement (really, the movement to control rampant capitalism, sharia's rival) is definitely not going to do it any good.
