Whole Foods CEO John Mackey Speaking Out Again

Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey, is speaking up again. He is one of many prominent libertarian-minded voices that has decided to enter the spotlight and open himself up for criticism. This time it's on the subject of government involvement in climate change and Mackey's disapproval of current proposals.  This comes despite his Whole Foods stores' notoriety of being proactive in the environmental movement. However, according to Mackey, the climate change hype is not supported by sound science. 

An article by an independent blogger was published on the Huffington Post yesterday admonishes Mackey's nerve to take issue with climate change science. He notes how he's often fought for Mackey in defense of Whole Foods, but after Mackey's lashing out against universal health care and now climate change, he's lost all patience.

I chose to engage with a few commenters at the Huffington Post. Read a few of my comments after the jump. Will others follow John Mackey's lead? I hope so. 

Climate Chaos In Copenhagen

 "You don't have to use that kind of violence to be heard," said Danish Minister Connie Hedegaard, condemning the violence that occured in Copenhagen.

Massive demonstrations in Copenhagen has lead to riot police arrest nearly 1,000 demonstrators. This demonstration was to mark the " Day of Action."

Many of the demonstators were seen throwing bottles and even smashing windows. Other incidents included cars set on fire. (WAIT! Cars set on fire? Now won't that just hurt the environment?)

Here is a ridiculous little video that was shown as a means to kick off the COP15 Climate Conference which is currently taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark.
