Tim Pawlenty did global warming ad with Janet Napolitano 'scolding' congress leading up to 2008 Republican Convention in Minnesota. UPDATED WITH VIDEO

Aside from advocating an organized crime infested fraud, he's a milk toast proven failure. This is the kind of guy the GOP wants to run. A vanity case. They want to make sure Obama wins again. (Video below with montage of Pawlenty out in front for years campaigning for the fraudulent business model of global warming.)

1/23/2008, "Pawlenty joins global-warming radio ad," Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Deepening his involvement in the global warming debate and in national affairs, Gov. Tim Pawlenty is lending his voice to a nationwide radio ad sponsored by the activist Environmental Defense Action Fund. In the ad, Pawlenty teams up with Arizona's Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano to
  • scold Congress for not doing more to combat climate change.

Against a background of inspirational, New Age-style music, the two tout state-level achievements and urge Congress to pass national curbs on greenhouse gas emissions. Quick action could spur thousands of "enviro-friendly" jobs, Pawlenty and Napolitano say in the ad. Foot-dragging, they warn,

  • could push job-yielding innovations overseas.

Those claims are disputed by some critics who say that the jury is still out on climate change and that promises of a golden age of affordable, homegrown fuel and controllable climate are overstated. Many of those are in Pawlenty's Republican Party, and the pressure on him to back off the issue has been substantial at times.

But Alex Carey, spokesman for Pawlenty, said the governor is convinced of the need for action. Pawlenty plans another clean energy package in the coming legislative session and has adopted renewable energy as

  • leading the National Governors Association. Napolitano was the previous chair.

"He would prefer that come from the federal government," Carey said, so when Environmental Defense officials approached Pawlenty for the ad, "it was something he really wanted to do."...

Tony Kreindler, a spokesman for Environmental Defense, said Pawlenty was chosen by the group "because of his leadership on this issue and in the party and because Minnesota is the site for the

  • Republican National Convention."...

The Pawlenty/Napolitano radio ad airs in Washington this week and will hit the airwaves in selected congressional districts across the country, just as political activity nears a frenzied peak in anticipation of the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday primaries

Pawlenty appearances 2006-2008 pitching the global warming business model. "Tim Pawlenty: Courage to stand with renewable energy"



Pawlenty is lucky he's not in jail for what he has done to advance the global warming industry that is killing people everyday starting with the ethanol racket.
