April 27, 2008If you can't beat 'em, join 'emJK recently wrote "There is no serious opposition to global warming left in the free world." This is sad and defeatist, but true. Now the intelligent, thoughtful and once-principled Speaker of the "Contract with America" House has teamed up with the current 3rd-in-line for the presidency to film a "We can solve it.org" propaganda ad. The ad paints them in complete agreement, though this liberal blog laments that Gingrich's heart isn't really in it for the good: Despite sitting side-by-side on the couch, Pelosi and Gingrich don't share identical views on climate change. Pelosi is backing a mandatory cap-and-trade system to reduce emissions, while Gingrich would rather use tax credits and other incentives to get industry to switch to low-carbon technologies. But Newt has surrendered the point of the DAWG spear nonetheless. As JK said, no serious opposition left anywhere in the free world. |
Et tu, Newto?
