Bob Inglis (Former R-SC), who was unseated by a landslide primary (71:29%) in 2010 by Tea Party Member Trey Gowdy (R-SC), has been touring Australia, reassuring worried greens that President Trump will soon be brought under control by the climate movement.
Australian coal ‘risks being caught out’ by Trump climate U-turn
The president could spring a surprise with a carbon price, making renewables cheaper, US Republican warns.
Fossil fuel industries in Australia could be left behind by improvements in renewables and the possibility Donald Trump changes tack on a carbon tax, a former US Republican congressman has warned.
In a speech to the [Australian] National Press Club on Wednesday, Bob Inglis, a conservative advocate for private sector action on climate change, called for the United States to take unilateral action by imposing a carbon tax with an import levy on goods made in countries without a carbon price.
Inglis, a congressman for 12 years who lost Republican preselection over his advocacy of a carbon price, argued that conservatives could be persuaded to join a coalition to fight climate change by appeals to the free market or to faith.
Inglis was surprisingly upbeat about the prospect of Trump taking action on climate change. He claimed Trump was “channeling the fears of a fearful people” when he dismissed climate change as a “Chinese hoax” but could not possibly believe that.
“There is some chance that President Trump, may respond to his daughter Ivanka’s interest in climate change.
“There is a chance he may listen to secretary of state Rex Tillerson who, as recently as October was advocating for the same revenue neutral carbon tax we are proposing at [eco-right website] republicEN.org.”
He predicted reality would force Trump to shift, as gas prices increase, coal mining jobs do not return and new technologies will be needed to create jobs.

Bob Inglis seems to think a carbon tax will have more of a stimulus effect on the US economy than cheap energy.
The following is a video of Bob Inglis’ presentation to the National Press Club of Australia;

The people who believe religion is just a tool used by elites to keep the common people in bonds…
are suggesting religion be used as a tool by globalists to keep the common people in bonds.
Is this a surprise? Is this historical paradigm actually a statement of intention?
It did work with the Pope.
Resource guy says, “It did work with the Pope.”
Well, who shall we give the credit to for converting the pope to the idea of the need for one world government, and centralised environmental regulatory science, to supplant free republics?
“One authoritative source of oversight and coordination is the law, which lays down rules for admissible conduct in the light of the common good …Here, continuity is essential, because policies related to climate change and environmental protection cannot be altered with every change of government.” JBergoglio
But that is quite an accomplishment, converting the Roman pope — and a Jesuit no less. Historically, those groups have been notoriously hard to reach. /sarc
I know Bob Inglis personally. He is not a RINO. He is a complete IDIOT! The reason he got defeated was that he caught Potomac fever and publicly announced that he didn’t give a damn what his constituents thought that he was going to do what he wanted. Pissed everybody off bigtime. Regarding his bonafides regarding Global Warming, he has no scientific training whatsoever. He is a freaking Lawyer, and in my view a crooked one at that.
Riddle: What is the difference between a lawyer and a snake as road kill?
Answer: There are no skid marks associated with the lawyer.
One of the most common delusions on the political scene is the delusion that any one person ‘knows’ what another person believes, thinks, or will do in any given circumstance.
There was an article on the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) website, in Australia, the other day that claimed politicians were unqualified to do their jobs? I mean, really?
I don’t have a link ‘coz the SMH now demands an AU$0.50c per day tax on 30 or more articles you’ve read in a month.
Get your heads out of your asses for one minute, please.
They can’t. They will need a proctologist to extricate the head out. It is firmly stuck.
