Just today I received a letter from Senator Graham’s office in response to an email I sent him on the Cap and Trade legislation that went down to defeat last week. The letter is instructive and you can read it in PDF format here.
Notice the references to "climate change." The term "global warming" has become a political hot potato so scoundrels like Graham have adopted the less offensive "climate change" jargon. After all, no one disputes the reality of climate change. What the global warming crowd ignores (indeed refuses to admit) is that climate change has been going on for all of Earth’s history. There is zero evidence that man has anything to do with it or that we can do anything about it.
The short version is that Graham supports cap and trade and thinks it will be good for South Carolina!
Climate change legislation does present some potential economic benefits for our state and for manufacturing. Significant revenue generation from the cap and trade system will be devoted to the research and development of new clean energy technology. South Carolina has already established itself as a leader in the field.
So if we’re stuck with some kind of climate change legislation, why not let South Carolina profit from it? I’m all for South Carolina extending its research and manufacturing base but idiotic climate change legislation is not the way to do it!
So add global warming idiot to the list issues Lindsey Graham is wrong about. Just one more reason to vote against him tomorrow.
