I can't think of anything more anti-democratic than the current trend of using "czar" as a nickname for positions overseeing some aspect of public policy.

This issue is the worst violation of separation of church and state. The government is establishing a religion because "climate change" (the name used when we suffer through record cold) or "global warming" (the preferred name when it works) requires faith in whoever's pushing it--Gore or other prophets of profit.
