Newt? Agreeing with John Kerry on environmental issues? Say it isn't so!
The very real concern Conservatives should have regarding the environment is the couching of radical Marxism inside the Green movement. At its foundation, the movement is not about the environment. It is about the control of resources and the means of production and the abolition of private property. In my opinion, it is foolish to negotiate with the environmentalists because they do not come to the negotiating table in good faith.
I like Newt's ideas on a lot of social concerns, and I agree that we should be responsible with the stewardship of the planet that God has granted us, but I strongly disagree with his direction on this issue.
