Global Warming Part II
I thought I'd take
another look at this issue.
First, let's examine who prepared the report. Yes, I know, if you can't attack the message, attack the messenger. But the new report is a product of three different organizations; the Institute for Public Policy Research in the UK, the Center for American Progress in the US, and the Australia Institute in Australia.
Rather than deal with the two foreign groups and try to puzzle out where they fit on the political spectrum, let's start with the
Center for American Progress, which bills itself as bringing "Progressive ideas for a strong, just and free America". Two major league leftist buzz words in there: "Progressive" (i.e., socialistic) and "just" (i.e., socialistic).
Looking at their website, it is not hard to locate the CFAP on the political spectrum; it is, as suspected "progressive" (i.e., socialistic). A "Daily Progress Report" mentions the "Assault on Liberty", which is not about car bombers in Iraq, but instead concerns itself with "Bush leads war on women's rights".
