In case you’ve been under a rock for the last few days, Wikileaks has been dumping emails from Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. Podesta is firmly in bed with the anti-American interests over at the antithetically named named “Center for American Progress”, home of climate flamer Joe Romm, an organization with yearly funding of over 30 million dollars at last count. I’ve been looking at a few of the emails that talk about climate, and I just had to share this one because it represents so clearly the differences between public and private pronouncements that’s been talked about lately.
Another important passage is:
Policy, is there any chance we go near such a proposal or can we nip this in the bud tonight?
Clearly, they don’t care about “saving the planet” they care about saving their ass in the election. Because “carbon tax” is just too toxic to talk about until after you’ve secured the vote.
You can read the full email here:

Interested WUWT readers might find more than I have.
Not talking about big issues is not a mark of leadership, but it is a typical courtroom tactic if it hurts the objective.
Mrs. Clinton said that it was her intent to continue the Obama administration. Obama’s approach to deficit reduction calls for matching all new taxes and tax increases with budget cuts. Obama is already late with the budget cuts hat were suppose to have gone along with the tax hike on the rich and ACA taxes. What additional budget cuts are being proposed to go along with the carbon tax?

Anthony,
I disagree. You infer “Clearly, they don’t care about “saving the planet” they care about saving their ass in the election. Because “carbon tax” is just too toxic to talk about until after you’ve secured the vote.”
Anthony, I am forever explaining to liberal friends why global warming/climate change is not the catastrophe they think it is. There isn’t evidence for that. The are misinformed, but given their knowledge, they certainly do want to save the planet, and they also want to win the election so that they can save the planet. The two are not mutually exclusive, quite the contrary. A conservative point of view I’ve always subscribed to is attributed to Otto von Bismarck, “Politics is the art of the possible.” There’s nothing unexpected in the John Podesta quotes. Like every other political consultant, his job is to determine a winning strategy.
“Like every other political consultant, his job is to determine a winning strategy.”
And that’s a large part of the reason Americans despise their own government. Their politicians are lying even before they get into office.
Supreme court selections, border security, national security, EPA, DOJ, IRS, SOS, trade deals, ISIS, and the economy. I support the narcissist over the lying crook in the pants suit.
I can’t wait for next week’s story: Trump loves babies: Boiled or Fried. Pathetic mob you are.
