<<Recognizes that global warming should be taken seriously but will require any decisions to be based on the best science;>>

This COULD be read as code-speak for "You have to prove it 110% before we get off our ass and even begin to do something about it, we're too busy making money, you tree-huggers." <g>

Also, breaching dams is not fringe radical stuff--it may be very sensible mainstream enviro-policy.

The "Protecting private property rights" sounds like code for something else....but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear more.

If the Repubs are so anti-government subsidy and pro-rugged individualism and free markets, then why are they always practically giving away the national forests to logging companies instead of charging them what the traffic will bear like any good businessman and letting a real free-market operate? Why do they let ranchers graze erosion causing cattle on public rangeland without charging them properly for it, i.e., letting a real free market operate so that cattle ranching on marginal land would be seen for what it is: inefficient and not environmentally or economically supportable.

Let's let a real free market operate so that the REAL COSTS of pollution are born by the polluters. I wish I could trust the Repubs to do that but I don't trust them as far as I can throw Newt Gingrich.
