Kerry and Gingrich to Debate Climate Change

ABC News’ David Chalian Reports: Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and yet to be determined presidential candidate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., are scheduled to debate the environment and global climate change later this month.

The two political heavyweights will hold their debate Tuesday, April 10, 2007 in the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, DC.

The event with Kerry and Gingrich is part of the Brademas Center exploratory series, “Legislating for the Future,” which is cosponsored by The Brookings Institution and RAND Corporation.

Kerry recently co-authored a book about the environment, “This Moment on Earth,” with his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

I’m assuming Gingrich will not be speaking Spanish?

A Real Debate To Occur in April

This section is talking about global warming. Transportation is the leading cause of pollutants. Some people may argue that global warming is a myth. However, what about reducing pollution, our time wasted commuting to and from work, our total expense on transportation, and our dependency on foreign oil. Maybe we could be motivated for these other reasons to promote mass transit that runs on alternative energy.

Hopefully this debate will be broadcast by most of the major media. However, I suspect, only segments that favor Kerry will most likely see the light of day. It would be nice to have both sides of the Global Warming story presented to the public instead of the constant “Consensus” pitch that is repeated on every channel. SOME, well informed scientists disagree that man is causing Global Warming but they never get any air time.
