Kill Westerners. Death to America. Establish the caliphate. And, oh, by the way, stop climate change. Oh my.

Yes, the latest audiotape from al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who made a recent audio appearance to claim responsibility for the Christmas Day underwear bombing attempt, takes aim at the U.S., but for something other than corrupting the world with popular culture and maintaining a military presence in the Middle East. From Al-Jazeera:

“Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, has condemned the US and other industrial economies, holding them responsible for the phenomenon of climate change.

In an audio tape obtained by Al Jazeera, bin Laden criticised George Bush, the former US president, for rejecting the Kyoto pact and condemned global corporations.

‘This is a message to the whole world about those responsible for climate change and its repercussions – whether intentionally or unintentionally – and about the action we must take,’ bin Laden said.

‘Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury – the phenomenon is an actual fact.’”

Now, whether environmentalists WANT his advocacy in their corner is another matter. Bin Laden also lauds the observations of Noam Chomsky, who also has a fan in Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.
