Check out Red Hot Lies author Chris Horner over on Planet Gore discussing Ralph Nader piece in today’s Wall Street Journal. Nader urges President-Elect Obama to impose a straight — and global — carbon tax, rather than a domestic cap-and-trade regime.

How often do you see a CEI guy in at least partial agreement with Ralph Nader?

Of particular interest to me is Nader’s peroration:

If President Obama hits the ground running fast in the direction of a global carbon tax, he can usher in a new dawn that might finally make peace between man and climate.

“Make peace between man and climate” is telling, no? Perhaps I’m reading into it, but it seems a subtle signal that Obama will get a pass from the Far Left over his continuation of Bush foreign policy in the Mideast — as long as he puts climate-change legislation at the top of his January agenda.

Discuss.
