Ex-Congressman Bob Inglis and an insurance-company supported think tank does not add up to a “cleaving” of the GOP.
Salon reports:
A price on America’s carbon emissions will surely remain theoretical for some time. No Republican in Congress publicly supports it. Nor does President Barack Obama. “We would never propose a carbon tax,” the White House has promised.

I’m not going to deny Slate it’s litle self-delusions.
THAT accusation — that there is a position that “climate change is a hoax” — IS A HOAX.
The position in question is that AGW science is a hoax. And that position is TOTALLY tenable. Of course, one has to have critical thinking skills beyond the level of a traditional elementary school (modern-day 9th grade) education to understand this. Perhaps that is the real divide within Republican circles?
