I thought the "talk" with Art Horn was quite interesting and entertaining...there were more library personnel and security guards than any other talk I have attended - more people in fact as well. Some "groupies" planted by Art himself were also in attendance, but for the most part a decent turn out of folks who intellectually challenged Mr.Horn's twisted position. Channel 30 showed up but the library "official" gave them a hard time about recording for some reason.
Now I have no problem with other points of view, but when you have libraries across the state blindly supporting the slanderous statements of this man, one has to wonder, who really is paying Art Horn? More interesting is that there appears to be a nationwide epidemic of meteorologists claiming that global warming is a scam such as founder of the weather channel, John Coleman. Who's planting these folks to create controversy? Why would anyone in their right mind not support efforts to better our planet with reduced pollution, conservation efforts, less dependency on oil? This idea that "global warming" somehow just started in the 1990's as a marketing ploy simply ignores everything we have done to our planet since the Industrial Revolution. The theory that human's have not or can not affect climate completely overlooks the fact that our species has used up most of the world's resources and is about to feel the impact of those actions. For example, we have cut down 70% of the trees on this planet which has a direct correlation to floods and soil erosion. We use more of the world's resources faster than they can be used. Water sources are drying up around the world and right here in the United States. Global warming is simply a warning sign before disaster strikes! Why discourage others from being prepared?
Art Horn is undermining the work of educators, environmentalists and political leaders in our state and is getting paid by Connecticut librarians to do so. I heard from others that heard his talk previously that he scaled things down a bit, but still managed to criticize and accuse Gore of being dishonest and inaccurate. Interesting that everything he accuses others of doing he is doing himself! None of the environmentalists presenting talks about climate change in Connecticut at libraries or universities across the state are getting paid. How is it then that he is? and why?
