In making their case for new government regulations designed to fight global warming, TIME guest columnists William Antholis and Strobe Talbott tell us:
On May 12, senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman introduced the American Power Act. The proposed law ? crafted with the help of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham ? brought together a number of elements proposed by environmental groups and businesses to set the country on a new, clean-energy path.
Conveniently absent from that passage ? and the rest of the article, for that matter ? is the fact that Graham backed away from the Kerry-Lieberman bill. This fact is no minor point; Graham?s decision removes any hint of Republican support for the measure.
There are, of course, other interesting omissions. Climategate, anyone? Global cooling?
