DNC: Colorado officials talk global warming with energy leaders

Ten years ago many thought global warming was a hoax.

Today, few would dispute that our planet has indeed warmed.

That was the premise of a day-long roundtable discussion Tuesday in Denver that brought private industry and public officials together to discuss solutions to a national energy policy, global warming and making renewable fuels economically viable.

"The science debate (of global warming) is now over," [northern Colorado legislator Tim] Wirth said. "We're now in the economics debate."

An environmentalist is someone who cares about the quality of our environment. I am an environmentalist, though the word has been so successfully hijacked that I would never describe myself as such outside of the context of this article.

The reality of most of the so-called environmentalist groups is that their agenda has nothing to do with climate change. Organisations like Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace are today mostly packed with members whose real objection is to capitalism and a materialist lifestyle. They would like us to return to some mythical Golden Age of simple living.
