The majority of Liberal Party representatives don’t accept that human beings are the cause of global warming, Liberal Senate Leader Nick Minchin said on ABC television’s Four Corners program last night.

“I think it will be particularly difficult given what happened last night on the television,” Wong said of negotiating an agreement on the climate proposals. “I think the issue there demonstrates that there are too many people in the Liberal Party who are not fair dinkum on climate change, who do think it is some sort of conspiracy.”

“War on Climate Change” Will Not Advance Security or Freedom » The Foundry

If the Obama Administration decides to fight this war on climate change, the United States will ultimately lose, coming out of the battle with a weaker economy, weaker security, and weaker personal freedoms.
