A few years ago I wrote that the global warming movement was jumping the shark and that the slowing economy will decimate it as a political force in America. that was a prediction... not Jonah goldberg is looking at the results:
...telling voters that they have to pay high gas prices in order to ineffectually fight climate change would be honest but incalculably dumb, politically. Recent polling shows that Americans care about the economy more -- a lot more -- than global warming. Skepticism about the existence of a problem or its scope has been rising in the U.S. and Europe. When a Pew poll in January asked voters what their biggest priorities were, climate changed ranked second to last. Only obesity was deemed less of a priority.
If I said that I don't want to say I told you so you wouldn't believe me... nor should you. I actually love telling these green imbeciles how wrong they were. No one on the left is more wrong headed about how the world actually works, or is proposing a more thoroughly destructive set of policies for the future. They deserve to be disheartened and if they're unhappy then the outlook for the rest of us is actually better than it would otherwise be.
I've said a million times that the whole purpose of a recession is to teach liberals how the world really works. It's good to see that at least some of that information is getting through.
