The
lead story in the Washington Times today is tremendously
important, showing the officially socialist ties of new White
House "climate czar" Carol Browner. I should note that we at the
Examiner were, as far as I know, the ones who first reported on
this in the daily print media, with
this editorial last Thursday. And, frankly, our editorial has
more details than the Times story does about the radical agenda
of Browner's Commission for a Sustainable World Society,
including the group's own acknowledgement of the severe economic
costs of its proposals. For all who believe in limited
government, this is truly scary stuff.
As a final credit-where-it's-due note, let me mention that we at
the Examiner were alerted to Browner's Socialist ties by the
excellent Paul Chesser of Climate Strategies Watch (and loosely
affiliated with the John Locke Foundation) and by Steven Milloy
of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
