Yet Corker understands that climate change is a problem and has called for legislation to address it. In 2007, he traveled to Greenland with a bipartisan group of senators to observe the impacts of climate change, noting upon his return that the U.S. has “a unique opportunity to marry concerns … like carbon dioxide emissions and energy security.” He said he was “leaning in the direction” of supporting a carbon-trading program.

Lately Corker has been insisting that he won’t accept anything short of a climate plan that auctions 100 percent of pollution permits and returns the money directly to Americans, and his preferred approach would be a carbon tax.

I read that Corker gave money to Al Gore, I haven’t been able to find it documented or the facts surrounding it though.

Amazing! Gore talks and his lips never move. Corker is a RINO's RINO. He's pushed the DEMs agenda about as much as McCain has. Both he and Lamoderate are my senators unfortunately. My last vote for LaModerate was governor. I never voted for Corker either.

Last election when Corker was up I voted for the DEM {Clayton} and yes I'm dead serious. The DEM was miles more a conservative than Corker and deserved the vote.
