Yeah, think about that for a second: The GOP has built their entire obsession with the idea of AGW being a “hoax” on the idea that governments across the world are trying to wreck their economies by cutting back on oil production/consumption. Now here comes Carson, saying that in 2001, all we would have had to do to get OBL was declare that we’d been “petroleum independent” by 2010.

OPEC would have laughed their asses off.
