Sen. Baucus has good reason to be wary of the cap-and-trade legislation. Support for it has evaporated. Daily I read editorials, comments and letters-to-the-editor from all over the nation. When the House passed the cap-and-trade bill it was maybe 2-to-1 against cap-and-trade, opinion now is off the charts against it. This agrees with what I’ve read in the polls: ‘attempting’ to slow climate change is a low priority among Americans.
Frankly, I don’t see Americans supporting cap-and-trade or any CO2 regulation until we have our own ‘Climate Truth Commission.‘ ...and no longer rely upon the climate opinions of the United Nations. The UN is a biased political organization whose climate forecasts haven’t proven prescient. The United States needs our own objective, transparent climate commission to think-through global warming.
