James Lee's Awakening: A lesson in the dangers of extremist rhetoric

Written by JAMES TARANTO, Wall Street Journal | 02 September 2010

D'oh!

The other day Stanley Fish, writing on the New York Times website, tried to draw a parallel between the 9/11 atrocity and the stabbing of New York cabdriver Ahmed Sharif:

It is wrong, we hear, to regard the proposed [Ground Zero] mosque or community center as an ordinary exercise of free enterprise and freedom of religion by the private owners of a piece of property. It is, rather, a thumb in the eye or a slap in the face of the 9/11 victims and their families, a potential clearinghouse for international terrorist activities, a "victory mosque" memorializing a great triumph of jihad and a monument to the religion in whose name and by whose adherents the dreadful deed was done.

Written by Brian Sussman, American Thinker | 02 September 2010

discoverychannelscope

Wednesday, a gun wielding, bomb toting, eco-terrorist-who claimed to have been "awakened" by Al Gore's Oscar winning film, An Inconvenient Truth-was shot and killed by police after holding several people hostage inside the Discovery Channel headquarters in Maryland.

Sadly, it's not the first incident of someone going berserk after taking in Gore's work.

An Inconvenient Extremist

Written by Kenneth Spitz, American Thinker | 02 September 2010

gore ait

Can the "violent extremists are only found on the right" stereotype finally be put to rest?

James Jay Lee, an environmental activist and self-described "world guardian", was shot and killed in a hostage standoff. Mr. Lee entered the headquarters of The Discovery Channel in Silver Spring, Maryland with a handgun and canisters resembling explosives strapped to his body. Thankfully, Lee's three hostages were not harmed.

As readers are likely aware, armed with several bombs, Lee took three hostages at the Silver Springs facility.

There’s a Hostage Situation at Discovery Channel Headquarters: "Must air more global warming shows"

Written by New York Magazine | 01 September 2010

James Lee
James Lee

Around 1 p.m. this afternoon, a lone gunman now identified as James Lee entered the lobby of Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Springs, Maryland, outside of Washington, D.C., and reportedly fired shots while declaring, "Nobody is going anywhere." He may also have explosives, and though the building has been evacuated, he has taken at least one person hostage as police monitor him on closed-circuit television and try to communicate with him. So why is he doing it? Apparently he's obsessed with overpopulation, and is furious that the Discovery Channel hasn't given the topic its due coverage. In fact, Lee has been protesting Discovery for some time, and a website registered to Lee posted a list of demands for the channel in July.

And your solution to the 'us' problem would be what, exactly, Boris?

Written by James Delingpole, Telegraph | 01 September 2010

kilimanjaro

Earlier this week my fellow columnist and old Oxford chum Boris Johnson wrote a jolly piece which wittily melded the story of the wheelie-bin cat woman with an account of an agreeable safari he had recently enjoyed with his family in Africa. But I’m afraid I found myself unable to enjoy it beyond the point where he described his shock at seeing how little there was left of the snows of Kilimanjaro, and editorialised thus:

Greenpeace - the energy deniers

Written by Paul Wornham, Environmental Policy Examiner | 01 September 2010

power-plant-1

Greenpeace is in the news for shutting down an oil exploration rig off the coast of Greenland. In what is an act of trespass if not outright piracy, activists have climbed onto the rig in an effort to cease all activity. This stunt is just the latest attempt by Greenpeace to deny the modern world the energy it needs.

The world currently runs on a combination of fossil fuels - coal, natural gas and oil account for almost 87% of global energy, with nuclear and hydroelectric providing another 6% each. Renewable energy sources - solar, wind and tidal account for just 1% of today’s global energy.

Rajendra Pachauri: profile of IPCC chairman

Written by Telegraph | 30 August 2010

Rajendra Pachauri

The Indian has been chairman since 2002, renewing his initial six year term in 2008.

The unpaid, part time job makes him one of the most powerful men in the world as the IPCC advises the United Nations on the threat of global warming.

The former railway engineer was first pushed into the limelight when it emerged that a groundbreaking report by the IPCC in 2007, that made the case for man made global warming, contained an error.

James Cameron's fuzzy math

BP oil sheen on ocean surface

James Cameron on the BP oil spill to a Washington Post reporter: "At a million gallons of crude going into the gulf a day, I don’t how that works out mathematically, but it’s something like an Exxon-Valdez every four or five days. To have had that kind of delay is impossible for me to fathom."

Standing by your Mann? Only two students and two professors show up at protest rally

Written by Hawes Spencer, The Hook | 27 August 2010

Protest organizer Ryan McElveen
Oh, Mann! Protest organizer Ryan McElveen (above) had hoped for at least 50 people. He got four.

[H/T to Martin] As global temperatures rise, so does Charlottesville’s profile in a worldwide debate. Two events last Friday highlighted the anger and frustration felt on both sides as Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli continues his quest to peek at the early musings of Michael Mann, the former UVA climate professor and creator of the doomsday-invoking “hockey stick graph.”
