Isramart : Gingrich Can’t Make Up His Mind On CO2 Emissions

Isramart news:
Newt Gingrich wrote a column in the Washington Examiner yesterday addressing climate policy. In the op-ed, the former House Speaker attacks the Environmental Protection Agency’s move to classify CO2 emissions as a dangerous pollutant:

The Obama administration has been explicit about how its decision to have the Environmental Protection Agency regulate carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant was meant as a threat to Congress.

Gingrich, who is currently heading a coal-industry front group that has been working fervently to oppose climate change reform, has demonstrated an inconsistent stance on carbon emissions. In a 2007 climate change debate with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Gingrich stated that there is a need to reduce carbon “urgently”:

KERRY: What would you say to Senator Inhofe and to others in the Senate who are resisting even the science. What’s your message to them here today?

GINGRICH: My message I think is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon loading in the atmosphere.
