Climate Change Advocates "Weak"
Jerry Taylor, writing at Cato@Liberty, thinks that the new Congressional resolution on emissions caps is an empty one, and that this reveals something about the movement:
If the Greens really think that global warming is serious, they are demonstrating both political and intellectual cowardice by backing pablum like this. All this resolution would accomplish is to allow politicians to claim environmental virtue from empty political gestures.
So why would the enviros provide an easy out for politicians who want to appear Green but not do anything real to advance the Green agenda? Because it’s the best the enviros can do right now. That speaks volumes. This is a resolution that advertises Green political weakness, not Green political strength.
