Global warming: Where's Huckabee?

Mike Huckabee is still running for President and may become John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate. He believes in creation rather than evolution putting him George W's camp. More important may be his position on global warming. His official website doesn't mention it. He's for 'Energy Independence':

We have to explore, we have to conserve, and we have to pursue all avenues of alternative energy: nuclear, wind, solar, hydrogen, clean coal, biodiesel, and biomass.
No details, no direct mention of problems with climate change. We'll have a scientific response, but whose science? We can't rely on fossil fuels just like we can't rely on fossil evidence.

He did raise his hand at one debate when asked if he believed that "global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity".

For some interesting material on the candidates and their policies the Washington Post's Issue Coverage Tracker is worth a visit.

Huckabee has also announced his support for the Baptist notion of "wifely submission". It's hard to see him as anything but a worst-case scenario.

Huckabee is nothing but a wacko puritan that should be kept away from DC by gunpoint lest we start having drowning tests for witchcraft again.

At least he's an isolationist so maybe he'll keep the craziness restricted to amerika if they're dumb enough to elect him. He'll probably be VP behind a man already past the biblical "three score & ten" so please, keep it that side of the puddle.
