NE Senator Reasonable T. Cornpone Wants "Conversations" On Global Warming, But No "Alarmism" Nosiree

EDIT

Sasse (R-Neb.) said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday“ that the climate is changing and that humans are a contributing factor, but that "reasonable people" can differ on "how much and how rapidly." He said new discussions on how to be innovative to "integrate our way into the future" need to happen, but that he is not seeing any from lawmakers who have pushed climate change as their No. 1 issue.

"I think the real question though becomes what do you do about it because you can't legislate or regulate your way into the past," he said. "Right now, you don't hear a lot of people who put climate as a No. 1 issue, you don't hear a lot of them offering constructive innovative solutions for the future, it's usually just a lot of alarmism."

He added that other countries, such as China, are contributing to the changing climate more and are "going to be the No. 1 drivers in the long term." "What the U.S. needs to do is participate in a long-term conversation about how you get to innovation, and it's going to need to be a conversation again that doesn't start with alarmism," he said. "But that starts with some discussion of the magnitude of the challenge, the global elements to it and how the U.S. shouldn't just do this as a feel-good measure but some sort of innovative proposal."

1. Very good, thank you! Baby steps.

We must be patient. This man has just reached the point where the truly intelligent people were, oh, would you say, ten, or twenty years ago? For people like him, that is a giant intellectual leap!
