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."

The tape follows one released earlier this week in which the al-Qaeda leader praised a Nigerian man accused of a failed attempt to blow up an airliner heading for Detroit on Christmas Day.


In the new recording, bin Laden says "all the industrial states" are to blame for climate change, "yet the majority of those states have signed the Kyoto Protocol and agreed to curb the emission of harmful gases".

"Noam Chomsky was correct when he compared the US policies to those of the Mafia"

He continued: "However, George Bush junior, preceded by [the US] congress, dismissed the agreement to placate giant corporations. And they are themselves standing behind speculation, monopoly and soaring living costs.

"They are also behind 'globalisation and its tragic implications'. And whenever the perpetrators are found guilty, the heads of state rush to rescue them using public money."

The Kyoto Protocol, a UN treaty aimed at combating global warming, was adopted in December 1997 and has since been ratified by 187 states, but not by the US congress.

Although a signatory to the agreement, the US under Bush refused to ratify the treaty, saying that it should contain binding goals for developing countries to reduce emissions as well as those for industrialised nations.

Targeting US dollar

In the new recording, bin Laden said: "Noam Chomsky [the US academic and political commentator] was correct when he compared the US policies to those of the Mafia. They are the true terrorists and therefore we should refrain from dealing in the US dollar and should try to get rid of this currency as early as possible.

"I am certain that such actions will have grave repercussions and huge impact."

While continuing to attack America, bin Laden's comments mark a shift from his earlier, more regionally focused commentary.

In his previous tape, bin Laden warned that there would be further attacks on the US unless Barack Obama, the current US president, took steps to resolve the Palestinian conflict.

The Obama administration dismissed bin Laden's comments on the earlier tape and said intelligence analysts had not confirmed that the voice was that of bin Laden.

Well here's a surprise. Chavez and Mugabe are also deeply concerned. Trying to play the useful idiots as usual :erm:

Bin Laden is dead - how does a dead man keep making all these tapes?
Maybe he's with Tupac.
 
Has anyone actually seen a moving image of him? It's always a still and a soundbite.

It was an audiotape,those normally don't have video.:)

But ja,the hostile nation at spin again for the next invasion.
 
I wonder who still believes that bin laden is alive.

I find it funny that he used to release video tapes which were professionally done for someone living out of the mountains.
Then he died, and the Western media tried to replicate those bin laden videos which ended disastrously because everyone that analyzed them said they were fake.

Now for safety sake the "intelligence" people release bin Laden audio tapes because they then can't be questioned for authenticity. it really is amazing that people still believe he is really the person behind the audio tapes. Those people must believe that Santa drops of presents in exchange for milk and cookies and the Easter bunny plants Easter eggs in the garden on Easter morning.

That may be true, but unfortunately there's a whole lot of Islamist wannabe bin Ladens that are hell bent on jihad against the west.
