The JLF is attempting to interject sound science and economic reasoning into the push for North Carolina to implement CO2 controls, being advocated in a truly stupid and futile attempt to head off global warming. The fact is that our left wing opponents are being funded by the government. This article from the American Spectator lets us in on the story of how the Bush Administration is funding the enemies of reason. The following sums it up.

“From 2000-2002 the NRDC and Environmental Defense were among the top recipients of almost $125 million in grants that federal government agencies gave for climate change-related projects..”

Just to remind everyone, Environmental Defense was the originator of NC’s Clean Smokestacks Bill with its provision to form a committee to formulate policies to fight global warming.
