GM Vice Chair Still a Climate Change Denialist

Satyam Khanna observes that General Motors Vice Chair Bob Lutz is sticking to his guns and still arguing that global warming is a “total crock of shit”:


A few observations. You don’t expect a car company executive to be eager to embrace climate reality. At the same time, I wouldn’t want to invest any money in a firm actually led by delusional individuals. That this sort of person can rise to such a high level may tell us something about the quality of the management at the big domestic automakers. Second, if I were an elected official contemplating signing on to a politically motivated bailout of the domestic auto industry, at a minimum I would make it an implicit requirement of my support that the bailed-out executives stop trying to obstruct other kinds of needed policy change. Beyond that, what Joe Romm said.
