From France's news in English - The Local:
Sarkozy comes out of the closet as a climate skeptic
Presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy reckons that climate change is not caused by man and that the world has far bigger problems on its hands than global warming.
Nicolas Sarkozy, who is fighting to regain the presidency that he lost to François Hollande in 2012, has finally come out of the closet as a climate skeptic.
Speaking in front of business leaders Sarkozy, a candidate for Les Republicains party primary in November, told them that man alone was not to blame for climate change.
“Climate has been changing for four billion years,” the former president said according to AFP. “Sahara has become a desert, it isn’t because of industry. You need to be as arrogant as men are to believe we changed the climate.”
Someone left a comment that nails it:
Leftists love and promote climate change because for them it is the perfect excuse to enact all the anti-business policies they favor, and restrict people's freedoms. They couldn't care less whether its true or not. Thats not the point. Its a JUSTIFICATION TO DO WHAT THEY WANT while scaring aned bullying opponents into silence.
