There’s no way countries that are growing their economies the most will agree to stringent caps on carbon dioxide emissions based on historical levels. This historical-cap framework rewards the countries that have shrinking populations and manufacturing. Instead Canada (as also noted in today’s WSJ) and others are focusing on CO₂ intensity. E.g., how much CO₂ is produced per kwh of electricity generated or per barrel of oil pumped? These are measures that don’t hurt production and labor mobility. Some say they don’t have bite. But if a CO₂ reduction policy bites too much (pun intended)–especially in a way that caps economic growth–then the growing polluting countries will ignore it.

The Dems are not just stuck on stupid, but apparently stuck in 2006, or earlier, a world in which (at least in their minds) the war was lost, and in which the world hates America.

Well, the war isn’t lost, and it turns out that if one looks at the reality, all the supposed America-hating is yesterday’s story as well:

“Hundreds of pages, without exception, are about how to indoctrinate students,” school of education professor Jan Blits told the campus student paper, the Review. “What’s surprising is how open they are about it.” Blits acquired the papers from the residence life program by simply asking for them. Kathleen Kerr, the director of residential life for the university “was so proud of the program she just handed them over,” he said. Blits, head of the university’s chapter of the National Association of Scholars, and another professor at the school of education, Linda Gottfredson, have been cooperating with FIRE to get the story out. Gottfredson said: “Residential Life has the whole person and they try to change beliefs – the heart and soul of a person – which is exactly what totalitarian institutions do. This is a national issue and FIRE is not finished.”

Yes, of course they’re proud of the program. They’re just upset that anyone else sees anything wrong with it. After all, why should they have any shame in teaching students “correct” thoughts? Isn’t that their job as educators?

Such self righteousness is how totalitarians get to be totalitarians.

What is a “wingnut”? Everyone at his site seems to toss the term around as though it’s obvious that some is and some ain’t, and who they are (sort of like “neocon”).

And what criteria were used to relegate the blogger nominees in this post to that category? For instance, how does Glenn Reynolds make the cut?

I’m shocked, shocked. Who could even imagine such a thing?

I mean, Nancy Pelosi told me herself that the “Culture of Corruption” would end once the Democrats were in charge. Or did I mishear her?
