Jimmy Carter calling anyone a nutcase should explode the irony meter...
ASPEN, Colo.
— President Jimmy Carter called a tax on carbon emissions “the only
reasonable approach” to combating climate change during an appearance
here Tuesday, but lamented that even piecemeal actions are unlikely to
get through a divided Congress.
Carter, 89, who received a lifetime achievement award on the final
day of the American Renewable Energy Day summit, spoke during a luncheon
attended by a number of conservationists as well as Ted Turner, T.
Boone Pickens and Tom Steyer, the California billionaire pledging to
devote his personal finances to political candidates willing to take
action on climate change. [...]
“The biggest problem we have right now is some nutcases in our
country who don’t believe in global warming. I think that they are going
to change their position because the evidence of the ravages of global
warming is coming or is already there.”
