Post 58 ping. Some forgotten political history.

whitman is a pinhead of the highest order. Add in obvious dementia and you really have a piece of work.

Another whiny RINO.

“They think that the massive emissions, and they are that, of CO2 etc. by our industrial activities is inexorably changing the climate according to Natural Law, i.e. physics. It’s far from a ridiculous assertion.”

One can make an otherwise reasonable assertion (massive emissions by industrial activities is inexorably changing the climate) that turns out to be ridiculously overstated when tested against observable reality, as has been shown to be the case here.

What is ridiculous is for those same “asserters” to continue to put forward the same assertion even in the face of evidence to the contrary...and for any thinking person to continue to believe it.

“Christine Todd Whitman is the president of The Whitman Strategy Group, a consulting firm that specializes in energy and environmental issues. WSG offers a comprehensive set of solutions to problems facing businesses, organizations, and governments; they have been at the forefront of helping leading companies find innovative solutions to environmental challenges.”

In other words, another GOPe crony corporatist with a vested interest in government regulations creating a market for their business model.

Wow thanks very interesting stuff.

Remember when this rino was the darling of the republican establishment....how easy it is for them to switch hit for the progressive anti freedom agenda!!!

[Impy]

Actually Christine (the next GOP Governor of NJ, if there is one, must have a different name!) um NO. No a bunch of unelected bureaucrats should not have the power to essentially make law, that is Congress’s job.

And then there's this...

Even if the theory was correct, that CO2 did contribute to the warming, man's contribution to the overall CO2 is quite small. What would we have to do to make a difference? Cut out all human generation of CO2? How would we keep warm, cook our food and heat water for hygenics? How would we distribute our basic needs? Here is a pie chart showing man's contribution:

Climate change is the defining environmental challenge of our time, and there are huge consequences for inaction

What a lunatic.

Biological activity is part of a cycle, and doesn’t create CO2 by oxidizing “sequestered” carbon. Human activity is unique in this respect.

For me, it is a very complicated issue, and I agree that it is disturbing the way scientists have been turned into climate change commissars. In effect, the science has not been settled so much as harnessed.
