Republicans flail about looking for alternative to climate denialism

Grist: As I have said before, the GOP position on climate is unstable, both intellectually and politically. You can`t credibly deny the science at this point, but if you accept it, "do nothing about it" is an incoherent response. They`ve only gotten away with it for this long because the media and the public don`t care enough to press them on it. Climate hawks are always predicting that now, finally, is the time when that position will start to crumble. I`ve predicted it myself, and been wrong, or at...

One Republicans carbon-tax campaign faces an uphill battle

Seattle Times: Kevin Croswhite once appeared to have a promising future in Wisconsin Republican politics. At 22, his résumé included work on several political campaigns and as a party field director during the 2012 presidential election. Then last year, Croswhite made a perilous career move. He went to work for the Energy and Enterprise Initiative, which proposes a carbon tax as a Republican prescription for combating climate change driven by the combustion of fossil fuels. Since then, he has been tarred...

Reuters: Republicans plan to put approval of the long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline on a fast track early next year if they win a U.S. Senate majority in November, finally forcing President Barack Obama to make a tough call on the controversial plan. The $10 billion Keystone project to connect Canadian oil sands with U.S. refineries will top the list of Republican energy priorities if they gain control of the Senate after the Nov. 4 midterm elections. It could come as a stand-alone measure or attached...
Bad news for Republicans: IPCC report warns 'irreversible' climate extremes

Examiner: Republicans won't be happy about the leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) draft report on Monday, because it contains the most dire predictions about climate change to date, which is something they don't believe exists. The report is shocking in its bluntness, because it warns human-induced climate change may have already reached the tipping point and be past the point of no return and "irreversible". The IPCC report is the 4th installment of the 5th periodic climate progress...
Why Republicans wont back a carbon tax

Grist: Climate change activists across the political spectrum fantasize about it. No, its not another Kanye West video of snowy mountains and a topless Kim Kardashian. Its a carbon tax. Republicans, as everyone knows, hate taxes and dont accept, much less care about, climate change. But wonks on both sides of the aisle dream that a carbon tax could win bipartisan support as part of a broader tax-reform package. A carbon tax could be revenue neutral, the dreamers point out, and if revenue from the...
