Pawlenty: “We should have listened to President Carter”

Gov. Tim Pawlenty, probable vice presidential pick for John McCain, had the following to say about global warming:

“We should not spend time on voices that say [climate change] is not real,” Pawlenty said even as new evidence surfaces almost daily that undermines the alarmist consensus.

“We should have listened to President Carter” about energy policy, Pawlenty said.

Ignore dissent. Embrace malaise.

Anyone else troubled by this?
