To Reduce The Interpretation Of The Causality Of All Kinds Of Climate Changes And Of Global Warming To One Variable, Co2, Or To A Small Proportion Of One Variable - Human-induced Co2 - Is Impossible To Accept. Elementary Rationality And My Decades-long Experience With Econometric Modelling And Statistical Testing Of Scientific Hypotheses Tell Me That It Is Impossible To Make Strong Conclusions Based On Mere Correlation Of Two (or More) Time Series.

But How Can You Speed Up The Transformation Of Society In A Country As Large As Russia? Those Sounding The Moral Outcry Are The Ones Who Are Trying To Dictate Their Standards From The Outside. Of Course, That Isn't The Right Way To Go Either. One Cannot Impose Democracy From The Other Side Of National Borders, Which Is Something We Ourselves Experienced During The Communist Era. The West's Policies Toward Eastern Europe, The Helsinki Process - None Of That Really Helped Us.

Common Foreign Policy Is Completely Unnecessary. The Various European Countries Have Widely Differing Priorities, Goals And Prejudices. It Would Be Wrong To Force Them All To Follow The Same Course.

Nevertheless, There Is Another Threat On The Horizon. I See This Threat In Environmentalism Which Is Becoming A New Dominant Ideology, If Not A Religion. Its Main Weapon Is Raising The Alarm And Predicting The Human Life Endangering Climate Change Based On Man-made Global Warming.
