Mr. Santore nailed it, was absolutely correct in his assessment.
Mr. Pittman -- too logical.....
And, Mr. Beauchamp, agreed!
That said, on to the next source to see what folly Barack, Nancy and assorted other Marxist clowns have cooked up for us.....

"I am a conservative Republican and I am fed up with my own party and fellow Christians denying the dangers facing our world from environmental change."

I am curious--does Mr. Fisher believe that the environment does NOT change? If so, where are all those dinosaurs? What happened to Gondwanaland? Environments change all the time, so the key issues are the nature of the change, its effect on human beings, and the extent to which human beings are affecting the change.

An objective look at the state of the global environment today, as opposed to half a century ago indicates tremendous improvements in almost every area--but only in the wealthier developed countries.

Why?

As environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg has demonstrated, environmentalism is a luxury of the rich. Only wealthy nations have the disposable income necessary to implement environmental remediation or invest in "sustainable" growth. Poor countries are stuck in a subsistence rut, and, contrary to popular belief, primitive people don't live in harmony with nature, but rather rape the landscape just to survive, until their ecosystems (and populations) collapse.

Lomborg rightly states that the most useful thing we can do to improve the environment is bring the bottom billion of the world's people out of abject poverty as quickly as possible, and that means rapid electrification using the most economical forms of power generation.

Of course, this is difficult to do except in the context of a free market economy under open and transparent governments. In other words, the conservative agenda is necessary for environmentalism to work.

Mr. Fisher, the wealthy paid MORE taxes during George W's tenure and border enforcement is necessary for our national security. You don't sound like a conservative or like someone who reads the Bible.

yes of course things have to change, but that doesn't mean we have to LIKE it.
