Newt Gringrich observed that on an issue which has world-wide attention, even if the facts are manufactured, you ignore it at your peril because you will have turned over “control of the situation” to someone else and given others the chance to set the agenda for the United States.
We better have a Climate Change Plank in the Party’s Platform, or someone else will be calling the global climate shots. The biggest mistake the Soviet Union made in the early days of the U.N. was walking out in a huff. We got some real work done while their chair sat empty.
Get my drift? We don’t have to like it, we just have to understand the reasoning behind why we must stay engaged.
There was a time but just a few years ago that over 90% of republican lawmakers thought global warming was a phony issue. They stated it, and global warming legislation died on the vine.
Now, with the sleight of hand used by the environazis to rename it ‘climate change’ more GOPers are falling into line like dominoes.
I do not condone in any way, shape or form the capitulation of this argument. The science is clear. We have had 10 years of slight global cooling, not warming. The ice in the poles is doing just fine. The dreaded Ozone hole has always existed in one form or the other. The entire thing is a leftist wetdream, and we better be calling these frauds to the carpet, not meeting them halfway. Newt is an absolute FOOL on this issue.
Exactly. I sometimes think too many here at FR have never learned how to play chess. It's a shame.
