The environmental lobby isn't doing well. And, surprise,
surprise!, the lobby says it's all the fault of industry.
Reports
the Washington Post:
It seems that environmentalists
are struggling in a fight they have spent years setting up.
They are making slow progress adapting a movement built for
other goals -- building alarm over climate change, encouraging
people to "green" their lives -- into a political
hammer, pushing a complex proposal the last mile through a
skeptical Senate.
Even now, these groups
differ on whether to scare the public with predictions of
heat waves or woo it with promises of green jobs. And they
are facing an opposition with tycoon money and a gift for
political stagecraft.
Well, actually, the enviros are losing because of substance,
not money. They are losing the political debate. Fewer people
believe climate alarmists today than did last year. And most
people understand that wrecking the economy is not a good
remedy for anything.
It's quite simple: follow the argument, and the environmental
alarmists lose.
