USA Pwns World, Jawa Pwns Activist

Muawahahaha! We're officially causing holocausts by our mere existence!

PLUS, fun with numbers! Assuming their junk data is accurate (just for the sake of argument), I still noticed that China, India, Europe and the former Soviet Union account for over half of the worlds contributions to global warming. Kyoto, anyone? Didn't think so.

Also of extreme interest are the, shall we say, "beliefs and quotes and leftist organizations the author wrote for prior to today."

READ THE TAKEDOWN BELOW THE FOLD ---> What, o curious reader, is the realm of expertise the self-identified "activist," former tech CEO C.E. Karunakaran, of this article's area of expertise? Computers/engineering. The Center for Ecology and Rural Development (not weather pattern studies)?

CERD has a fulltime manpower structure with a committed team of scientists working on a variety of areas raning (sic) from women's technology, science communication, Continuing Education, Participatory Irrigation management through local democratic people's institutions, women's microcredit networks etc.

Sound like climate experts, too. Except, you know, that they don't work in atmospherics, climatology, meteorology, etc.

The "suddenly objective" activist has written on global warming for anti-capitalist leftwing sites like "CorpsWatch (Corporation Watch) in 2002, or has written articles for Frontline Magazine (India) that are peppered with Marxist linguistics:

So, if the world is to be saved from a looming catastrophe and international and inter-generational justice is to be maintained, it is essential for civil society in Third World countries to take an active role in pressuring their own governments and in moulding world opinion to move in the direction of a swift 'equal rights for all' solution. In this effort, they need to contend with, and engage in dialogue, even well-meaning NGOs in the North, which, in their anxiety to get some action off the ground, are prone to seek accommodation from the nations in the South.

CorpsWatch surrounds our activist with the most objective, non-partisan people on the planet (click on pic for large screenshot):

Also, if you head down to page 349 of the Global Commons Institute (this PDF), you'll notice an interesting passage pop out, what with the recent Algore-mania and carbon-footprinting mish-mosh going around over the past few days:

C.E. Karunakaran is an engineer who has studied and worked
on issues relating to carbon credit trading.

So. Mr. Environmental hero has an interest (perhaps financial), in carbon credit trading. Isn't that what would qualify as a conflict of interests in journalistic circles? That is poised to be a hot market this year, wouldn't you say?

Question everything. Especially things with "People's anything" in them.
