Too clever by half, if you ask me. I think it is terribly short sighted to give any credence at all to the idea that anthropogenic global warming is proven science, and I expected better from Gingrich.
That’s the kind of thinking that got us RINO Republicans who agree that the government ought to be a big spending behemoth, and just disagree with Democrats on how the money should be spent.
And we know how well that approach has worked out for the country and the party.
I certainly understand where you are coming from, but the theory of man-made global warming will be relegated to the trash heap of history no matter what. Eventually, the truth always wins out. But in the meantime, the Global Warming Lobby can do a lot of serious irreparable damage. As I’m sure you know, “Global Warming” is a neo-com Trojan horse to destroy the free market and the US economy through draconian governmental regulation, and ultimately to impose a global centralized command economy government via the UN. The neo-coms know they can get Americans to subject themselves to such in the name of “saving the planet”, but only if no alternatives are altered. Newt is trying to set up free-market oriented global warming “solutions” as a an alternative to the march towards socialism to protect our way of life until the hysteria subsides.
We can certainly continue to fight the myth on the scientific front, but we also need to present free-market alternatives to the neo-coms’ proposed totalitarian political “solutions” to Americans who have already bought into global warming.
You said it.
