When worlds collide

Who knows what is the Left and what is the Right anymore? Here’s an excerpt from an audiotape of that renowned fighter against global warming, Mr. Osama bin Laden:

Noam Chomsky was right when he pointed out that there is a similarity between the policies of America and those of mafia gangs. They are the true terrorists…

The talk about climate change is not an intellectual indulgence. Rather, it is a reality. All of the industrialized countries, and especially the large ones, bear the responsibility for the crisis of the greenhouse effect. Most of them, though, rallied around the Kyoto accords, and agreed to limits on emissions of harmful gases. However Bush Jr., and Congress before him, rejected this accord in order to please the large corporations, which are themselves the ones responsible for speculation, monopolies, and the rise in the cost of living. And they are behind globalization and its tragic consequences.

Meanwhile, former Marxist, J.D. Salinger stalker, and crack-cocaine experimenter (its in the book) Roger Simon had this to say about a recent Scientific American article:

their boneheaded article Negating “Climategate“: Copenhagen Talks and Climate Science Survive Stolen E-Mail Controversy now reads as if it were written by David Biello somewhere around 1993. Oh, well, back when this nonsense was written (December?) some people still believed the Himalayan glaciers were about to disappear, not to mention the Amazonian rainforests. Nor did we know that not just the East Anglia CRU, but also our own NASA had been playing fast and loose with AGW temperature facts…The poor editors of SA are taking a drubbing in the comments, which they richly deserve.

One of these fellows is wrong, but whom? Let’s go poll a faculty lounge at UC Berkeley and get the answer.
