CBS anchor Katie Couric continued her one-on-one online interview series @katiecouric. This time Couric claimed an Exclusive as she sat down with Al Gore, to allow the coverboy of this week's Newsweek to publicize his latest book Our Choice.
What about the cost of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 15% through a cap-and-trade system to prevent global warming? Couric quoted Karl Rove's estimate of an annual $1,600 for each household. Gore answered that it would cost "a postage stamp a day for the average family," which works out at $160. That difference is an order of magnitude. Whose estimate does Couric find credible?
What about a Pew Research opinion poll that finds 57% of the population agreeing that there is solid evidence of manmade climate change? Couric pointed out a downward trend compared with a 71% level 18 months ago. It is still "a solid majority," Gore asserted. "There has been a very well financed, very well organized campaign by some of the largest carbon polluters to try to sow doubt." He argued that eventually Americans learned to stop smoking cigarettes and to wear seatbelts in their cars. An "organized, persistent" campaign will stop fossil-fuel pollution, too.
