GOP Crap and Trade

This was on the RNC’s website yesterday (hat tip: K-Lo):

McCain is dead wrong on the topic of anthropogenic global warming as are Joe Lieberman and Newt Gingrich.

Now the national Republican party has decided to embrace the scam.

George will has these questions:

• You say that even if global warming turns out to be no crisis (the World Meteorological Organization says global temperatures have not risen in a decade), even unnecessary measures taken to combat it will be beneficial because “then all we’ve done is give our kids a cleaner world.” But what of the trillions of dollars those measures will cost in direct expenditures and diminished economic growth—hence diminished medical research, cultural investment, etc.? Given that Earth is always warming or cooling, what is its proper temperature, and how do you know?

• You propose a “cap and trade” system to limit the carbon dioxide that many companies can emit. Is not your idea an energy- rationing proposal akin to Bill Clinton’s BTU tax?

We’ve tackled the myth that “fighting global warming phantoms” has no costs.

Republicans: Spineless, dense suckers who are tired of being in power.

Gag. Time to go throw up.
