Gingrich has espoused a Conservationist, conservative approach to the environment. I moved to SoCal in 1977, and the SMOG was horrendous. I remember running the mile in 7th grade and feeling the direct effects of the SMOG that was permeating the air. Orange skies stretched the horizon at the time.
The air quality has improved drastically and my children do not have to suffer the same effects where your lungs tighten up and it is harder to breathe. There are certain things that need to be done to conserve our environment and Gingrich is not in denial regarding this fact.
I would much prefer a conservative to be making the decisions on what and when we require certain regulations, than the leftist solutions, or the extremists who want to bury their heads and do nothing.
Pay attention. Gingrich is not for conservation. He is for “Climate Change.” Conservation is something real. Climate change is a manufactured crisis. Climate change people are not regular environmentalists. Climate change environmentalists don’t care if you kill spotted owls, dump sewage in rivers, or create smog. They care about combating “climate change.” The way to combat “climate change,” is to allow the government to micromanage business and everything else. I don’t support that. Gingrich has been very honest about what he is. It’s depressing that the media is selling a bill of goods.
