Steve Hilton: The Left Has Turned Climate Change into a ‘Political Battering Ram’

EXCERPT:

HILTON: "That is exactly right. I've said this for a long time. The way the left have taken that issue of climate change, made it this massive political battering ram for their kind of left-wing point of view is just really, really sad, when it is something that exactly as you say, conservation — I used to say, when I worked back in politics in the U.K., in the Conservative Party, conservation is in our name, it is in our nature. It's part of our philosophy to hand things on to the next generation in a better way than we found it and that needn’t be political. When we’re getting into climate change and all these policies that hurt industry just to make a political point rather than doing something that's really practical to improve the world we live in today, that is something that people can get behind."
