President Klaus launches new book against "fashionable" global warming issue

President Vaclav Klaus has published a new book criticising what he calls the "fashionable" issue of global warming. Speaking at Wednesday's launch of "A Blue not A Green Planet", Mr Klaus said those who blame climate change on human behaviour represent a threat to freedom. Environmental activists demonstrated against the president's views outside the book launch at Prague's Café Slavia; their protest featured a person in a Klaus mask saying the world was flat and no geographer could claim otherwise.
