What a surprise!
In this article that Paul Baer dug up from the Independent, Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute expresses surprise that his plan, to form a “European Sound Climate Policy Coalition” to destroy European support for the Kyoto treaty has been unsuccessful, and that the European companies he met with “rejected his ideas.” Given a bias most organizations have towards claiming progress if not success in all things that they undertake, the only surprise to me is that he admitted to it. Among those companies were Ford Europe and the German utility RWE, whose spokespersons were careful to point out that they only met with him in Brussels and don’t necessarily share his opinion. “Exactly the opposite” according to Adrian Schmitt from Ford Europe, “Our position is that climate change is a serious issue and appropriate steps need to be taken now.”
