Who's Scientific?
Polistra has recently asked two questions: Who's free? and Who's enlightened? In both cases the answer is not the Anglosphere. In both cases some Arab and Muslim countries are considerably more free and enlightened than we are.
Now, thanks to Wikileaks, we have some embassy memos about Saudi energy concerns. One memo details the Saudi concern about 'climate change'.
Perfectly objective and perfectly scientific. No flat lies, just puzzlement about what the Western idiots will do next under the ghastly influence of the fanatical Gaia cult.
In other related memos the Saudis are worried that the American government allows Goldman Sachs and other speculators to control the oil market. Nice proof, not that it was really needed. Meanwhile the Goldman slaves of both "parties" are trying to divert blame from Goldman. The red-label slaves insist it's all just good old supply and demand; the blue-label slaves insist it's all the fault of the oil companies. Nope, it's Goldman all the way down.

On February 6, Assistant Petroleum Minister Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman provided a snapshot of Saudi Arabia's concerns about energy issues and climate change. He explained that Saudi Arabia is concerned about the lack of clarity in the direction of energy markets. Supply and demand scenarios have rarely been less clear, as evidenced from the continued debate about whether the world's oil production capacity, or demand, has peaked. Saudi officials complain that international energy forecasts have varied wildly over the last decade so much that it has undermined the Kingdom's ability to make logical investment decisions to develop further its production and refining capacity. The track record of international agencies on forecasting raises questions in their minds whether the current forecasts of future demand will be seen as just as far off as oil demand forecasts a decade ago. In that regard, they wonder if today's concern about climate change and how to address it will prove to be more reliable than previous predictions.
