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.
I agree with you that the whole “climate change” issue as promulgated in the popular press is bogus.
What Newt Gingrich as an historian and John McCain as a military commander both realize, is that you never stand idly by and let your opponents choose and occupy the battlefield. You challenge them.
You make a salient point about Republican lawmakers standing up and defeating the phony warming legislation. Our lawmakers are supposed to represent their constituents’ interests in Washington, D.C., and I believe that to be, by and large, true. So as the Democrats take more seats in Congress I would also expect this BS about global warming to gain a stronger toehold.
Republicans should be in the thick of descision-making and all recommendations concerning this issue, lest we cry about the outcome.
