Former Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), who is trying to build support for a carbon tax, said the facts on global warming will “overwhelm” GOP resistance to climate change action and alter the party’s stance.
“What we have been doing so far is sort of shrinking in science denial and holding onto shaky ideology that really will be overwhelmed by the facts,” the former GOP lawmaker said in an interview broadcast Sunday.
“You can hold back the facts only for so long and eventually they overwhelm you,” Inglis said on Platts Energy Week TV. “I think that is happening on climate change. The science is pretty clear.”
Inglis, who was vanquished by a conservative upstart in his 2010 primary, this month launched a new initiative at George Mason University to promote what he calls market-based, conservative solutions to energy and climate challenges.
No wonder he’s out of office. Everyone wants more taxes! Especially on energy. Fool!
The price of any item sold at a profit depends primarily on the cost of energy. The earth does not charge.

“to promote what he calls market-based, conservative solutions to energy and climate challenges.”
Market based, does he mean cap&trade? Really? C&T is hardly market based, it is government created and government controlled. It is exaclty the opposite of market based.
If this is what he considers market based conservative solutions, no wonder he lost his seat. Wow.
What a maroon.
“You can hold back the facts only for so long and eventually they overwhelm you,” Inglis said
Yes.
At a directly measured 2XCO2 of 0.6 C/doubling and at the start of a 200 year solar minimum this is no surprise except to Democrats and religious greens. Reality has a brutal way with utopians, every time.
