When my libertarian friends tell me that solving climate change is just another excuse for big government to hand over tax dollars to big corporations I disagree. Yet Bloomberg Businessweek’s Deputy Editor,Eric Pooley, just published a chapter of his new book, The Climate War, and it will make your skin crawl. The polluters wrote the bill, the greenest politicians put it in play and a few environmentalists said it was the answer. It isn’t. Ready for a populist movement yet? Didn’t think so. The Tea-Baggers are running their own movement right now and it’s the racist kind. It’s going to be a long way home from here.
