Dear God, I'm sick of talking about him...but Al Gore again

Taranto addresses Al Gore's "over-representation of factual presentations".

Now, I TOTALLY agree that this is EXACTLY what President Bush is accused of doing - trumping up the case of a threat he fully believes in order to bring about results which critics view critically. However, Taranto's light-hearted treatment of the costs is way off base. Currently, the U.S. auto industry and the economics of the various rust-belt states, our own in particular, are being devastated. Who's the biggest target of "global warming"? The auto industry. Not because they're the biggest emitters of CO2 (that's mother nature) or even the biggest product of human CO2 emissions (that's power production). No - it's because they represent the spread of capitalism and, with it, individual freedom.

So, what do you think the target will be of the "global warming" crusade? The auto industry. Why bother with building nuclear plants to replace heavily polluting coal and oil power plants when you can just ratchet up the CAFE standards (which, incidentally, have resulted in a substantial increase in fuel use)? Al Gore's exaggerations about global warming are helping to kill U.S. jobs and, in particular, Michigan jobs.

And, I've noticed that John Dingell isn't doing anything about it.
