Global warming: it could allegedly kill all of our grandchildren, but EQUALLY IMPORTANT, it's an economic opportunity!?

Inslee praises state's environmental leaders | Politicker WA

SEATTLE - U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Bainbridge Island) kicked things off at today's fundraiser luncheon featuring former Vice President Al Gore on behalf of Gov. Chris Gregoire by imploring voters to make it so that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Dino Rossi are all "swept into the ashcan of history."

He went on to praise Gregiore for her "financial acumen" and praised Washington's current status of carrying a budget surplus, and said she was among the boldest and most visionary leaders in the nation on the issue of climate change.

"She recognizes that global warming is an environmental threat," Inslee said, "but it is equally an economic opportunity."
