What Newt did on global warming was politically smart. He knew, at least for the time being, that fighting Big Green and the Global Warming Lobby is like shouting into the wind, and is a losing battle .... our way of life may be paying lip service to the myth so we at least get a seat in the debate of what to do about it.

That's what my mom thinks of it. Me, the whole global warming thing is such a disgusting, fear-mongering, child-scaring exhibit ("Mommy, why are the polar bears drowning? Can't we save them from freezing and drowning in the cold water, Mommy?" For shame! Honestly!!) ... anyway, to even begin to validate it would be a massive betrayal of all that is honorable. I know that sounds pretty melodramatic, but ... they're victimizing little kids with this crap and making them frightened and hopless and miserable, when the truth is that life is incredibly vibrant and strong and this old earth has seen a lot worse than us, to deny kids that truth and scare them instead to make a political point! That's wrong and must be condemned.

Yes, but they’re creating the next generation of conservatives in the process.
Just as the backlash to the Red Scare and hiding under their desks in the event of a nuclear bomb created the liberal generation of the Baby Boomers.
