A Warning About Climate Change From a Departing Republican
An outgoing Republican congressman used a House science and environment subcommittee hearing this week as an opportunity to chide his party for its growing skepticism about the threat of global warming and to warn of missed economic opportunities in clean energy development if climate change is ignored.
Bob Inglis of South Carolina lost in a primary to a Tea Party-backed opponent after serving six terms in the House. He was one of a dwindling number of House Republicans who have publicly called for action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, although he did not vote in favor of the Democrats� 2009 cap-and-trade bill.
Emphases mine. "dwindling number of House Republicans" -- yes, these are known as RINOs: Republicans In Name Only. Good riddance.
As for economic opportunities -- Spain poured a lot of money down the green energy rat-hole and the end result is that for every "green job" created,
another 2.2 conventional jobs will be lost. <--This link goes to a very complete 53 page report (PDF) with all the source materials. Some chilling reading when you remember that the USA is heading down the same rat-hole with little or no reading of history...
