“A Green Conservatism”

Filed Under (Politics) by colin.ake on 11-04-2007

Today’s interesting tidbit comes from a debate yesterday. Newt Gingrich and John Kerry appeared to debate global-warming. Apparently, and very interestingly, Newt came out before Kerry could attack him, said he believed in global-warming, and that humans contributed to it.

Newt advocates creating “a green conservatism” - and I’m sure I don’t agree with him on this issue. However, as with most issues - Newt has a more conservative answer to limiting those releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - tax incentives. Newt shows that even on issues I don’t agree with, he would have a so-called “solution” that wouldn’t negatively impact me in any manner.

Seems like a reasonable guy. Oh, and here’s the link to the WashPost article.
