Republican businessman organizes $175M campaign to transform his party on climate.

GOP CHANGE ON CLIMATE CHANGE?

Republican businessman organizes $175M campaign to transform his party on climate. Politico:

“On Tuesday, [Jay] Faison … will unveil the first stage of his ClearPath campaign, including spending $40 million through 2016 to persuade moderates and conservatives to join the fight against climate change — but relying on market-based principles rather than government mandates.”

Does that mean you are admitting the catch deserves an asterisk as do the SB victories the forty-whiners got during the Montana era??

join the fight against climate change — but relying on market-based principles rather than government mandates.

That is called "cap and trade" and was supported by both parties before 2008.
