Guest columnist Stephen McClanahan cited two former Republican Secretaries of State--James Baker and George Schultz--as key developers of a tax and regulation scheme that would "induce the kind of societal changes needed" to address climate change, formerly known as "global warming." That name change should give the wary pause that maybe the climate is not warming appreciably, and that what we are witnessing are normal climate cycles.
Baker and Schultz were both key advisers of President George H.W. Bush who participated in the 1992 "Earth Summit" in Rio de Janeiro chaired by Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong whose 1100-page Global Biodiversity Assessment suggests a cure for "human-pox.": simply cut the world's population by approximately 80% by establishing a feudal lifestyle short on amenities. Strong contends that global ecosystems will be preserved only when affluent nations (i.e. the American middle class) lowers its standard of living.
