The vapidity of Edwards’ rhetoric ? which is by itself remarkable ? even infests his attempt to sound electably concerned about the climate.

Listen to this stab at unmitigated climate fearmongering by Edwards speaking at Bennett College:


If you were to read this analysis of what happens if the climate temperature changes on the face of the earth rises three to eight degrees over the course of the next 75 years, it’s frightening. It will make world war look like heaven. Migration of hundreds of millions of people, not enough food, not enough water, incredible political upheaval — and we, the United States of America, we are 4% of the world’s population. We are making 25% of the world’s greenhouse gases. We are not an example for good.


Speaking of vapid, get a load of that hopelessly ridiculous campaign slogan: “Tomorrow Begins Today.”
