Green Conservatism: Pro-Freedom, Pro-Market, Pro-Environment

I'd like to offer you a different view: You can be totally committed to conservative principles -- to individual liberty, a market economy, entrepreneurship and lower taxes -- and still be a Green Conservative.

(...)

So what is Green Conservatism? Here are its basic values:

(...)

• Green Conservatism favors minimizing carbon loading in the atmosphere as a positive public value.

  (...)

• Green Conservatism believes that we can realize more positive environmental outcomes faster by shifting tax code incentives and shifting market behavior than is possible from litigation and regulation.
  

I know he starts by announcing the "lower taxes" mantra, but the last point "shifting tax code incentives" is precisely the kind of weasely words designed to hide tax hikes (increase some to decrease others)
