SDHO Redirect

I was emphatic about Jessica Peterson for a reason. Over the past month, our freshy reelected state senator Tom Neuville has been blogging his “skepticism” on global warming.

You’ll have to read through the posts yourself for the full effect, but here are the juiciest quotes I found:

“The economic consequenses of ‘fixing’ global warming, thru the implementation of Carbon caps and carbon credit trading, are profound. Let’s be sure the problem is real before we try to fix it.”

“I won’t be supporting the ‘Carbon cap’ bill in the Minnesota Senate this year. I simply don’t accept that global warming is caused by humans. The cost of the ‘cure’ would be worse than the disease.”

Quote #2 especially; I guess we wouldn’t want to deplete our regional stadiums and gas subsidies fund state budget with frivilous little things like conservation.

But here’s the whole of what he’s written, judge for yourself:

• Global Warming: The next issue where Politics Trumps Science?
• Global Warming: There are many Skeptics
• Global Warming: The 1500 year warming cycle
• Global Warming: Environmental Effects of CO₂
• Global Warming: What do the Proponents Say?
• Global Warming: Al Gore has some explaining to do!
• Global Warming: What is the Average Global Temperature?
• Global Warming: What do Religious Groups Think?
• Global Warming: The “Skeptics are increasing”
• Global Warming: “The Great Swindle”

Those titles actually read very fair and balanced — I can’t say the same for the content of the posts.
