General Motors Corp. [GM-N] vice-chairman Bob Lutz has defended remarks he made dismissing global warming as a "total crock of s...," saying his views had no bearing on GM's commitment to build environmentally friendly vehicles.
Mr. Lutz, GM's outspoken product development chief, has been under fire from Internet bloggers since last month when he was quoted as making the remark to reporters in Texas.
D-Magazine had the original story from last month, where he also said this:
– Global warming is a “total crock of ****.” Then he added: “I’m a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn’t matter. (With the battery-driven Volt), “I’m motivated more by the desire to replace imported oil than by the CO2 (argument).”
Works for me.
