Their careers and their sense of self-worth are entirely dependent on green clap trap.Anthropomorphized Environmental Movement = Sex and the City’s Libby Biyalick
On the one hand, the greens and the President share an intimate relationship characterized by symbiotic back-scratching. Environmental special interest organizations increasingly are active in the business of political advertising on behalf the President and his party, which is the ultimate currency with any politician. And President Obama has shown much love for environmentalists, by waging an unprecedented war on their #1 enemy, the coal industry.Reckless Endangerment: Global Warming in the Courts | Online Library of Law and Liberty
And yet, despite this cozy relationship, President Barack Obama clearly doesn’t want to be seen in public with the greens.
The unfolding GHG saga illustrates a point made elsewhere: debilitating policies flow from our broken institutions. Mass v. EPA was a recklessly, almost brutally lawless decision. (I’ve taught the case. Common student reaction: “If this is right, why am I going to law school?”) It is comprehensible only as an underhanded judicial attempt to force congressional action on GHGs. However, Congress cannot be forced to do anything; it is busy nursing its multiple dysfunctions. So the EPA is left free to hand-craft its biggest regulatory program ever in a completely unconstrained environment. The D.C. Circuit, confronted with the agency’s patent AdLaw manipulation, has mailed it in. And any congressional action will come too late. In the unlikely event that our Solons should bestir themselves to attend to the matter, the EPA’s mesh will be their baseline, not a thing to be torn up. Never mind checks and balances. The unfolding industrial policy weave is a form of governmental AIDS—a complete collapse of the institutional immune system.Flatly wrong global warming denial | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine
