Newt is like most politicians, they do not understand the science and accept the opinion of a trusted friend. Newt, trust me as a scientist who has spent the last ten years of my retirement on AGW and my seasoned professional opinion is that it is the biggest load of bull crap that was ever shoveled out of a barn. CO2 is your best friend next to oxygen. Without CO2 we would all starve to death in a few weeksl. We all know how essencial O2 is to life. Without it we would smother in a very few minutes. Greenhouse gas (GHG) is essential to keep us from freezing because our Sun is incapable at times to prevent major glaciations of which we have had five 100 thousand years duration each in the past 1 million years, seperated by interglacial periods of varying lengths. We have been in interglacial No. 5(Holocene) the past
10,000 years. With ice at both poles we are still susceptable to another glaciation because even our tropics have warmed only 4 deeg C since the last glaciation maximum 23,000 years ago. A robust GHG is necessary to prevent another deep freeze. I believe any attempt to seriously limit CO2 in our atmosphere could be horribly expensive, totally unnecessary and dangerously counterproductive.

Poor old Newt is confused about everything. It’s sad to watch. Reminds me of the final years of Hollywood stars like Groucho Marx, with hangers-on and ‘caregivers’ keeping the star in the spotlight for their own glory and cash flow.
