QUOTE: "In the 2006 congressional elections global warming was virtually
a nonissue, he said, a low-priority item way behind the war and the
economy and old staples like education and health care. Global warming
is an issue for the elites, he said, not for the average voter"
"The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing
countries," writes Mark Steyn:
In order for you to put biofuel in your Prius and feel good about
yourself for no reason, real actual people in faraway places have to
starve to death. On April 15, the Independent, the impeccably
progressive British newspaper, editorialized: "The production of biofuel
is devastating huge swathes of the world's environment. So why on earth
is the Government forcing us to use more of it?"
You want the short answer? Because the government made the mistake of
listening to fellows like you.
Another enviroscam may cause hard****p locally:
Low-income families in areas with poor public trans****t will be hundreds
of dollars a year worse off than hard-up households in the inner city,
under the Federal Government's plan to introduce a carbon trading
scheme.
Some politicians are wising up, according to Newsweek's Evan Thomas:
In the summer of 2006 I went to see Congressman Rahm Emanuel, who was
running the Democrats' successful effort to regain control of the House
of Representatives ... I asked Emanuel, how are the environment and
global warming playing out there in the heartland? Is it stirring
voters? No, he replied. In the 2006 congressional elections global
warming was virtually a nonissue, he said, a low-priority item way
behind the war and the economy and old staples like education and health
care. Global warming is an issue for the elites, he said, not for the
average voter ...
There is an enormous class divide on the subject. The chattering cl*****
obsess about greenhouse emissions. The rest of the country, certainly
the older and less well-off voters, can't be bothered.
Good.
