Huntsman (The "Different" GOP Candidate) Scrambling Frantically Away From Past Climate Statements

[hatrack]

EDIT

As governor, Huntsman was also a leader in a regional effort to control greenhouse gases, by capping carbon emissions and trading pollution permits.

"Until we put a value on carbon, we're never going to be able to get serious about dealing with climate change," Huntsman said during a 2008 gubernatorial debate.

Since then, the political climate has changed.

"Our economy's in a different place," Huntsman told Time magazine last month. "The bottom fell out of the economy, and until it comes back, this isn't the moment" to pursue cap and trade.

3. Does this asshat really think he has a chance? What a waste of time and energy

He is doomed. He conspired with the "enemy". The RW moron brigade is not going to give him the time of day.

4. Because large financial institutions and stupid tax cuts crashed the economy ...

and exploded the federal deficit, we cannot respond to a threat that can exterminate us.

I'm so glad that Repukes have their priorities in order. ;-)
