Spitzer scandal seen as setback for climate change reforms

"...Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will be fighting for his political life following an allegation he met with a high-priced prostitute last month at a Washington, D.C., hotel...As governor, though, he's been out front on climate change issues perhaps more than any other. David Sassoon, writing at SolveClimate.com, thinks the scandal has potential to slow the entire nation's climate actions: "Spitzer's rendez-vous, the night before Valentine's day s'il vous plaît, will unfortunately strike a blow at progress on global warming, whether through his resignation, unavoidable distraction if he stays in office, and/or his diminished effectiveness. He has been a Governor who has shown -- in the absence of federal action -- leadership on global warming, which began during his tenure as New York State attorney General, and whose good effect endures."..."

There's more than one silver lining in this cloud!

Best news I've heard in a while, I love it.

There you have it. Man-made CO2 is the reason Spitzer turned into a total scum bag.

Hey, why not? They blame CO2 for everything else.

I'd bet any day now Doc Hansen and the IPCC will come out with a computer model that "proves" it.

I get it now! The “undocumented sex therapists” for whom he has been stealing money the last few years, are giving off too much carbon!

I think we should take up a collection for his legal defense fund. He has cooled the temperature in at least one house in NYC by half in two days. If we can enlist him to do that in the rest of the world, the glaciers will soon return/

Global warming began while he was attorney general? Somebody oughta investigate.

This is so utterly ludicrous that it could probably get a laugh out of Spitzer even now.

Does the Emperor Club offer carbon offsets?

No, but I see an opportunity for a "green" prostitution ring. Girls would be rated with emeralds, according to quality and environmental consciousness. A portion of each transaction could be donated to The Sierra Club.

“Climate change” that’s so 2006. These morons are becoming frantic, since half of the world wide temperature increase, over the last 150 years, was erased by the drop in 2007.

Another small silver lining to this pathetic turn of events, perhaps.

Additionally, Spitz is/war a huge abortion supporter most recently of some truly heinous pro-abortion legislation that perhaps now will find it’s way to the appropriate shredding machine.
