Green Conservatism

I do so hope Newt doesn't wind up running in 2008, because we desperately need his intellect to remain unconstrained by the deadening shackles of public office.

(HT: HA)

That is, assuming this whole "environment" thing is for real.

If Newt's green-speak doesn't affright your cozy political notions about environmentalism, try this one on.

Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading environmentalist has calculated.

Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance.

Yep.  And there's more.
