Klaus criticizes American presidential candidates

President in town to promote anti-global warming book

May 21st, 2008 issue

(Updated May 29, 2008) President Václav Klaus criticized American presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama and John McCain for their "sad and tragic" fight against global warming, ČTK wrote on Thursday.

"Environmentalists think they have the right to sacrifice the freedom of others to realize their own ideals," said Klaus, who was in the United States to promote his book “A Blue, not Green, Planet”.

Global warming has marginal significance and does not merit the huge amounts of money being invested to stop it, which could be put to much better use for other purposes, Klaus added.

Klaus's book has been published in English by the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute.

After a visit with U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, Klaus said that both men re-confirmed their commitment to placing an anti-missile radar on Czech territory and to abolishing the visa requirement for Czechs traveling to the United States.
