General Motors vice chair doesn't believe in global warming

From CNET news.

During a meeting with reporters earlier this year, Lutz said that he thought global warming was a "total crock" and that he supported work on alternative energies out of a desire for energy security.

In response to the firestorm that followed publication of his remarks, Lutz explained his position on a company blog, calling himself a skeptic:

General Motors is dedicated to the removal of cars and trucks from the environmental equation, period. And, believe it or don't: So am I! It's the right thing to do, for us, for you and, yes, for the planet. My goal is to take the automotive industry out of the debate entirely. GM is working on just that--and we're going to keep working on it--via E85, hybrids, hydrogen, and fuel cells, and the electrification of the automobile.
