From the 2008 Republican Platform (Draft)
The same human economic activity that has brought freedom and opportunity to billions has also increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the earth. While the scope and long-term consequences of this warming effect are the subject of ongoing scientific research, we believe the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today. Those steps, if consistent with our global competitiveness, will also be good for our national security, our energy independence, and our economy.
...
Republicans caution against the doomsday climate change scenarios peddled by the aficionados of centralized command-and-control government. We can – and should – address global warming without succumbing to the no-growth radicalism that treats climate questions as dogma rather than as situations to be managed responsibly.
