Previously, I referenced The American Spectator's interview with the Czech President, Vaclav Kaus.  Kaus made news after remarks comparing the philosophy associated with global warming theories to communism.  The Wall Street Journal has a profile of Kaus this weekend that is worth reading:

"In Europe, Mr. Klaus has the reputation of a firebrand, if not a loose cannon. This is a president, after all, who calls global warming "alarmism" a "radical political project" based in a form of "Malthusianism" that is itself grounded on a "cynical approach [by] those who themselves are sufficiently well-off."

"It is not about climatology," he insists. "It is about freedom." Mr. Klaus left his hosts with a clear idea of why he so infuriates his opponents. There's no doubt, either, that he enjoys his self-assigned role as a contrarian."
