I spent some time as a corporate public affairs consultant and I would have to deal with ideas like this one from the Competitive Enterprise Institute on a regular basis. Maybe I have been hanging out with the dope smoking hippies in San Francisco for too long but this is so transparent and ineffectual that it is almost funny. You have to love this line “ Carbon Dioxide-they call it pollution-we call it life.” Hey kids let’s go out and get a big glass of carbon dioxide… Anyone want to guess on how long it will take for the Daily Show or the Colbert Report to pick this up.
This sounds like something Mr. Burns would do. Why don’t they just have an actor playing Charles Darwin and a 3-eyed fish named “Blinky” and be done with it?
