[A personal complaint– it may now be confusing to use “Club-of-Rome” as my favorite metonym for stagnationist environmentalism.]

Unfortunately, neither George Will nor I are Catholics. Peggy Noonan offered the most interesting Catholic approach in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed: conservative Catholics should ostentatiously adopt the strategies of their progressive co-religionists who showed outward reverence to two conservative Popes even while resisting their political agenda.

NDP opposes the Keystone pipeline, which would make the issue moot in 2016.
Polls currently show a three-way tie between the incumbent conservatives, NDP ( whose economic illiteracy would normally disqualify them, but Canada is hurting badly from collapsed oil revenues), and the center-left Liberals, economically competent but weak on free speech

If they adjust the PH, they don’t get the $10 million. Then the union pipe fitters don’t make campaign contributions. Remember. It’s for the children.

Adjusting PH should not be difficult or expensive.

Kinda makes me wonder how much support Clinton receives from Warren Buffett? (Buffett owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe – the only rail line into or out of the Bakken oil fields).
