“Free-market principles to global warming.” Really sounds nice, doesn’t it? Free-market principles to global warming. After you’ve accepted a hoax, after you’ve accepted it’s indisputable that man is causing it? Free-market principles to global warming is a contradiction in terms. If there was manmade global warming, the free market would already be responding to it in a more vigorous way. Instead what we have is government telling industry what must be done, and industry reacting to it, because the Drive-Bys have convinced so many customers of all businesses that we face a dire threat, and these customers have been made to believe that they can stop the threat, and they can stop the warming, and they can make their lives matter, and they can count, and they can have meaning in their lives if they go with all this green stuff. And so businesses are simply going green as a marketing technique. This is what people think, fine, we’ll give it to them. The free market doesn’t respond on its own to false science, by the way.
A free market would reject false science, for the most part, by definition. Now, this is all about attracting young voters, this is all about McCain — you talk about independents, social minded conservatives, it’s about getting younger voters as well, ‘cause they’re among those that have seen Gore’s movie. They really think that all this is manmade. So you have Senator McCain echoing Algore and pretending there’s no dispute about manmade global warming. See, to me, this is historical. This is an historical chance to drive a wedge between the liberal environmental radicals and the blue-collar workers that Obama cannot get. Now this is the time for McCain to enhance the party, but instead he’s pandering.
