Henk, ik vind het prima als je wil spinnen, maar ik had het over zijn
campagneboek, niet over fotobrochures en blueprints. En daarnaast schreef ik
dat hij daarin nauwelijks over CO2 en Global Warming (of Greenhouse
Gasses of whatever) rept en juist wel weer een heel hoofdstuk over de
dreigende energiecrisis. Dat betekent dus niet dat hij global warming
ontkent en/of er niks tegen wil ondernemen. Integendeel, mits goed aangepakt
bestrijd je beiden met dezelfde maatregelen.

Groeten,
Mark Giebels
