I have a
piece in the Daily Caller addressing the piece in yesterday’s
Washington Post quoting administration ‘climate’ officials
expressing an openness to ‘skinning the cat’ of Kyoto another way,
through the backdoor.
This renewed effort telegraphed a few weeks ago is equal parts
standard operating proceudre for this crew, particularly on this
issue — ‘the legislature had better cooperate, or the bureaucrats
will do worse!’ — and serious wish-list item.
Every Member of Congress and particularly the Senate up for
re-election in 2012 should be asked if they agree with this clever
approach, which is the same sort of maneuvering that got us the
1995 Berlin Mandate, and soon thereafter the
signed-but-not-ratified Kyoto (and the fallout over that executive
over-commitment). And, if not, why they aren’t using their position
to address it.
