We let the left own the issue because most Repulicans are too timid to speak the facts. We’ve had no warming in nearly ten years and the same guys who were predicting catastrophic warming are now saying we are going into a cooling period for some ten years. So if we are going to “do something” about climate change, does that mean we now try to arrest the cooling? I’m sorry, but both McCain and Newt have their heads where the sun don’t shine on this issue. McCain is talking cap and trade.
With the left firmly in command, there is no hope that we will start drilling or expand nuclear. Out energy policy has been reduced to begging for Saudi oil and switching to kiddie cars. It will not be pretty.
I found this on Hot Air. Pretty much sums up the problem.

I still believe that we need to fight the Lefties on this issue.
