China Youth Daily Covers LaRouche Youth At Copenhagen Summit

December 19, 2009 (LPAC)—"Global warming? I don't believe it!" This was how China Youth Daily began an article today on growing "global warming skepticism" after speaking to Sebastian Perimony, a LaRouche Youth organizer outside the Copenhagen global warming summit. "Every day outside the Copenhagen climate conference stand a group of European protesters. They are passing out leaflets, shouting 'Global warming is a lie!,' making known to the people around them their firm skepticism over the notion of global warming.... They are members of a non-governmental organization supporting the so-called LaRouche Plan, and on the issue of 'climate change' they're going against the mainstream of public opinion.

"Standing in the midst of Copenhagen's Raadhustorg, one young Frenchman passing out leaflets, named Perimony, pointed to the pictures on his placard and asked the China Youth Daily Reporter, 'Who do you think is the biggest liar when it comes to global warming?' On his poster he had the pictures of some of the British supporters of global warming, global warming economist, Nicholas Stern, Prince Charles, who established an international environmental protection foundation, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is supporting climate change measures in his state, and wants California to be in the vanguard climate change movement, as well as some world leaders."

"We are not interested in the establishment of a world unitary executive," China Youth Daily quotes Perimony as saying.

The article then goes on to explain how the global-warming skepticism is greater in the U.S. than in Europe, proceeding to cite Dale Robertson, the organizer of the Tea Party organization, and Richard Sandersen, a global-warming skeptic from MIT. China Youth Daily then gives some of the poll numbers indicating this growing skepticism, with an ABC poll showing that the number of people who believe that global warming is actually occurring has fallen from 80% to 72%, and a Pew Institute poll showing that only 57% of the population believe that there is evidence of global warming (down from 71% last year), and that only 36% believe that it is caused by human activity (down from 47% in 2008).

The article ends by quoting a Chinese energy expert, Yang Fuqiang, who says that the growing skepticism about global warming may result in new studies being conducted, "stricter and more rational," that might provide a competent basis for drawing conclusions in the matter.
