[hatrack]

Czech President Vaclav Klaus compared the environmental platform of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to Soviet-era centralized planning in an interview Saturday. "I've lived in an economy of planning and for me, the 50-year projects of Angela Merkel (to half greenhouse gases by 2050) are as false as the five-year plans of the past," Klaus told Germany's Wirtschaftswoche weekly, in an interview to be published Monday.

"The climate defence movement incarnates a new ideology. What is surprising is that Mrs. Merkel supports (it), she who has lived in a socialist regime," Klaus added, referring to Merkel's origins in the former East Germany.

It is not the first time that Klaus has hit out at the conventional environmentalist thinking on the climate change issue. During a September UN summit on climate change, Klaus described the evidence for global warming as bogus.

He also branded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- which along with former US vice president Al Gore won this year's Nobel peace price -- as a "one-sided monopoly."

2. Perhaps he should know some stuff...
