Here’s the latest pronouncement from the former Governor of Arkansas:
Q: “Do you think the risks of climate change are at all overblown?”
A: I don’t know. I mean, the honest answer for me, scientifically, is I don’t know. But here’s one thing I do know, that we ought to not let this become this big political football and point of argument. We all ought to agree that we live on this planet as guests. I think Republicans have made a big mistake by not being more on the forefront of conservationism.
I consider myself a conservationist. I think we ought to have some cap and trade. It worked with acid rain. I think it could work with Co2 emissions. I think we ought to be out there talking about ways to reduce energy consumption and waste. And we ought to declare that we will be free of energy consumption in this country within a decade, bold as that is.
That’s what you get for thinking off the top of your head Mike.

Heh, I like Huckabee myself, but I get the sense science was not his strong subject.
