In Andrea Saul's pliant hands , Romney denies climate like, er, an EXXON flack

DENIER-IN-CHIEF
Perhaps as a condition for seeing bribe-sized donations go to his fellow-travelling Super PACS, Willard-the-Wimp has had to accept Andrea Saul , former EXXON flack-in-charge-of-denial ,  as his new press-liaison-thingy.

And so Willard has changed his tune yet again on denying the need for any serious action on human-caused runaway global warming.

Perhaps his day's position on climate denial is pinned by Ms Saul* to the Wimp's underwear, because like his underwear, it does seem to be changed daily.

Better idea, Andrea, is to attach it to one of them there new-fangled wind powered windmills, and then let it change with the wind. if we have alternative energy, why not alternative policy positions too ?

EXXON meets in convention in Tampa at end of August to pick the new President


Ooops ! No more windmill, bosses' orders : Willard has been told, firmly, (as firmly as jello can be told anything) to tell everybody that under his government, wind subsidies are out and subsidies to Exxon, er, Oil are in.

After November, America will be headed by a two person government : Romney will be Denier-in-chief and Andrea will be the de-facto Commander-in-Chief.....

* And a big tip of the hat to DeSmogBlog for spreading the word on Damascus-bound Ms Saul.

High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
