Per NY Times columnist Paul Krugman I am an "immoral" crazy person for opposing action to slow down "man-made" global warming. My mother may be shocked to learn this!
Senator James Inhofe is labeled a "conspiracy theorist" for doubting man's impact on global warming.
Krugman also repeats the often misquoted statement by the Energy Information Administration that new offshore drilling would not impact domestic production until 2017. The real quote assumes that leases would not start to be made until 2012. If we started today we would see an actual impact by 2013 and, likely, an emotional impact resulting in reduced prices immediately.
The Dem's and the Republicans need to compromise on the energy issue with new offshore and ANWR drilling AND increased conservation and promotion of renewable resources. Focus on the mythical impace of CO2 emissions is a dangerous distraction.
