“A conservative Republican and devout Christian, Huckabee believes he has a biblical responsibility to protect God’s planet from climate change, even though he’s not convinced that climate change is largely human-caused.” http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/11/19/huckabee/
” don’t try to get into the middle of the science of global warming. … There may be [a human role in climate change]. But whether there is or there isn’t, it doesn’t release us from the responsibility to be good stewards of the environment. It’s the old boy scout rule: you leave your campsite in as good or better shape than how you found it. It’s a spiritual issue. [The earth] belongs to God. I have no right to destroy it. I think we work toward alternative energy sources. [We need to make it] like the Manhattan Project or going to the moon. We need to accelerate our energy independence.

Proposition 2:
An additional carbon tax on fuel will effectively reduce pollution
Your opinion: completely disagree
Opinion Mike Huckabee: tend to disagree

Other websites and news sources
In an October 30, 2007 letter to the editor in the Wall Street Journal, at page A17, Huckabee clarified his position: I believe that we must be good stewards of our environment and support many paths to reducing our emission of greenhouse gases, such as more nuclear power and alternative sources of clean energy. As part of our overall effort, I also support a cap and trade system, which has worked well for reduction of sulphur dioxide emissions. However, I do not agree with those who want all allowances to be auctioned off because I believe that will create too great a burden on businesses. The alternative to cap and trade is a carbon tax, which I don’t support.

Proposition 3:
The US should never sign international treaties on climate change that limit economic growth
Your opinion: completely agree
Opinion Mike Huckabee: neutral

Debate transcripts
SHOW: CBS Evening News 6:30 PM EST CBS December 11, 2007 Tuesday I think we ought to have some cap in trade. It worked with acid rain, I think it can work with CO2 emissions. I think we ought to be out there talking about ways to reduce energy consumption and waste. And we ought to declare that we will be oil-free of energy consumption in this country within a decade. Bold as that is, frankly, it’s a matter of national security to get to the point where we’re not dependent upon oil coming from countries who, frankly, aren’t very friendly to us.

Red Pill, you infest every topic with the Huckabee ‘presidential’ nonsense. Consider giving it a rest, or moving to lalaland.

Its OK E. Something tells me that we better get used to beating back this Huckabee problem for many years to come. He doesn’t strike me as the type that just agrees to simply go away when unwanted.

Zetterson on April 22, 2008 at 2:38 PM

Yeah, I guess I should just be quiet or go away…kind of like what you see in Expelled. Yeah, there’s no controversy there…only 178 unique commenters have left over 2300 comments…

Electoral Compass puts Huckabee further right than McCain on both economic and social issues.

People need to know the truth. It might be relevant at the Republican convention.

Tell me you’re joking.

HotAireans,

Read Tom Coburn’s book “Breach of Trust.” You’ll learn everything you need to know about Gingrich.

I’m sorry to see you go, Newt, but you’ve given in to some really bad politics.

Johan Klaus on April 23, 2008

I like it!

What partisan notion did Nancy Pelosi put aside?

I saw this ad last night and it convinced me I was right all along.

And it’s only two days after Hitler’s birthday!! It’s like a neverending celebration by freedom haters and evil doers!!11

The camel’s nose, under the tent.

And is it a coincidence that earth day is celebrated on April 22, Vladimir Lenin’s birthday.

I guess Earth day trumps Trans fats..

She said she wanted to eat edible mud.

????

What? I asked smiling… Edible mud? Now I was imagining some sort of new age spa fad….

“Yes” she said “and worms”, we need to crush Oreos and chocolate pudding and gummy worms “it’s what we did in school”….. AAAAHHHHHHHH

So It’s nice to know that what an environments future holds for us….

Should we teach our kids to love natures beauty and majesty or hate humanity? Are kids not obese enough that schools should use a FARCE Holiday Awareness Day
to further self deprecate themselves????

Your name lives up to the size of your courage to stand up against these idiotic liberal premises.

If it weren’t for Operation Chaos to add a little fun, I just don’t know what I would do.

And is it a coincidence that earth day is celebrated on April 22, Vladimir Lenin’s birthday.

Johan Klaus on April 22, 2008 at 11:38 PM

Of course. Of course.

Nothing to see here. Everybody move along.

. . . Unfortunately, he is terminally spineless.
