The Greening of Gingrich
In a heavily hyped debate – one that environmentalist Democrats hoped would be a “smack down” on Republicans — former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich disappointed them and conservatives alike when he declared that human activity was causing the Earth to warm. The concession was made in a debate on global warming with Sen. John Kerry (D.-Mass.) today on Capitol Hill that was sponsored by the Brookings Institution and the RAND Corporation.
If Gingrich is getting it, the fight's basically over. At this point, it's just a mop-up operation. We'll see how the details are worked out: The new conservative position could be paying lip-service but eviscerating regulations. It will be a very interesting campaign season.
