Karl Rove: ‘Climate Is Gone’

Republican strategist Karl Rove, who helped organize the outside groups that spent millions to install Republicans in the midterm elections, spent election day celebrating with Pennsylvania’s growing drilling industry. Like other corporate sectors, the fossil industry is hoping that Republicans will be able to roll back regulations that limit their profit-seeking at the expense of people’s health and safety. Rove told the attendees of a shale-gas conference in Philadelphia that the incoming Republican House of Representatives “sure as heck” won’t pass legislation to limit greenhouse pollution from fossil fuels:

“Climate is gone,” said Rove, the keynote speaker on the opening day of a two-day shale-gas conference sponsored by Hart Energy Publishing L.L.P. And Rove told the trade show, “I don’t think you need to worry” the new Congress will consider proposed legislation to put the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing under federal rather than state regulation. The procedure, known as “fracking,” is responsible for the dramatic growth of shale-gas drilling in formations such as Pennsylvania’s vast Marcellus Shale.

6. It reads like a Yoko Ono poem

Think that snow is falling. Think that snow is falling
everywhere all the time. When you talk with a person, think
that snow is falling between you and on the person.
Stop conversing when you think the person is covered by snow.

7. So Karl Rove considers unrestricted carbon pollution of the atmosphere a Republican victory.

I would normal say "Unbelievable", but in when it comes to the stupidity and greed of Republicans, I believe it.

12. Keith is reporting on this. fyi.

13. He's right.

Climate is about over as a viable issue. We lost our chance because we didn't point and laugh at the "there is still a debate" meme the way we should have. There isn't a debate and never was, but America has been thoroughly convinced otherwise. This one's run out of steam.
