A policy analyst with The Heritage Foundation says the American public is not buying into global warming.
According to Heritage Foundation senior policy analyst Ben Lieberman, cap-and-trade legislation in the Senate is gaining as much favor as the public option in the healthcare debate. (See earlier article) "Polling shows that the public does not buy global warming, [and] certainly doesn't buy it as a crisis justifying a blank check expensive response in the midst of a recession and ten percent unemployment," he states. "And in fact," continues Lieberman, "a lot of the messaging and issue ads on the Kerry-Boxer Senate Climate Bill don't even mention global warming. They try to pass it off as a green energy jobs bill, which is very dubious." Lieberman notes that calls to act immediately on so-called "climate change" legislation are probably in response to the fact that the public is wising up -- and if they wait too long, he says, they will not be able to push their agenda.
