John McCain kicks off his “climate change tour” in Portland today.
The Associated Press regurgitates the McCain emphasis on how he will
push “free-market principles” to reduce global warming.
Take this with a gi-normous grain of salt, my friends
A rational, free-market-based approach to environmentalism requires
a commitment to scientific truth, accuracy, and honest cost-benefit
analyses.
For the last several years, McCain has been committed to none of those.
Climatologist Patrick Michaels had McCain pegged four years ago, when The Maaaveerrick convened ridiculously, eco-Chicken Little-stacked hearings
You can bet McCain won’t be visiting with Michaels on his climate
change tour anytime soon. The truth would get in the way of his crusade
In 2003, Iain Murray debunked McCain’s anecdote about how he got interested in global warming
Like Barack Obama, McCain touts a “cap-and-trade” system as the
free-market answer to reducing carbon emissions. Analysts who haven’t
been bitten by the global warming alarmist bug beg to differ–and evidence from cap-and-trade systems already in operation back them up
Is the solution to go back to 1910 and live like Haiti and Somalia? The Appeal-Democrat says no
A true “free-market” approach to environmentalism means protecting the
free market, not destroying it in the name of supposedly “cost-free
solutions” to a supposed crisis that rests on skewed science.
