Cap and trade vote today, complete with AP spin
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... their coverage of the cap-and-trade bill coming to the House floor for a vote: A handful of undecided Democrats hold the key to whether the House will confront global warming and begin a shift away from fossil fuels to cleaner sources of energy. Well, that’s not biased coverage at all, is it? “Whether the House will confront global warming” implies that all debate has ceased on the subject, while in truth it has intensified. Kim Strassel notes the increasing skepticism in today’s Wall Street Journal : Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority ...
Will Congress Read the Cap and Trade Tax Bill?
A Blog For All —
... notes that this bill smacks of a snake oil salesman in the way that it engages in delusional economic pandering as though the costs imposed on energy producers and emitters will somehow magically disappear. They will, of course, be passed on to the consumer, as such costs are always passed on. It's basic economics, and I doubt that Democrats in Congress have read up on that either. In fact, Australia is preparing to kill its previously enacted climate change bill because of growing doubts over the underlying science. Labels: ...
Obama’s project to destroy American economy almost complete
Cold Fury —
... :“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Startling, vanishingly rare honesty from the most dishonest, villainous snake ever to sully the Oval Office. But hey, there’s the slimmest of chances AGW might actually be real, so we simply must do something RIGHTFRIGGIN’NOW; otherwise, the opportunity to federalize the energy sector might be lost. As ...

Cap and Trade – Last Stand or Unstoppable?

... , otherwise known as ‘Cap and Trade’. This monstrosity would cripple our economy and place us at a serious competitive disadvantage in world markets – and for what? The bill is a ’solution’ to a problem that doesn’t exist. The ’science’ behind global warming is widely viewed as a joke at home and abroad, so much so that Nancy Pelosi has warned Al Gore to stay in Tennessee during the vote. As Kimberly Stassel observes in today’s Wall Street Journal , most of the rest of world – increasingly convinced by the ’skeptics’ so derided by Gore and Company – is running away from ...

... (if you're from that district). While Democrats are hell-bent on shooting our economy in the face, the rest of the world is scrapping their climate control programs as more and more people come to doubt the "settled science." The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. -- 13 times the number who authored the U.N.'s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year ...

Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon. ...

AGW - "Worst Scientific Scandal In History"
Right Wing News —
I understand that everywhere else today it is "Michale Jackson is dead" day - I suspect days such as this must be infinitely boring to most news junkies because the news is dominated by a single topic. Meanwhile Democrats are doing their best to rush cap-and-trade through the House today while the pseudo-science that supports their effort continues to collapse. The WSJ has an article today which points out: Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global ...
Is man-made global warming the biggest schuck of all time?
Roger L. Simon —
I don’t know. I’m not a scientist - and even if I were I might still be confused. But that’s the point. Our scientifically-challenged legislators (Nancy Pelosi can barely speak coherent English, Al Gore nearly flunked out of divinity school) are about to enact a monumentally expensive, tax regressive “climate change” bill at the very moment AGW skepticism is growing in the rest of world. From the WSJ:

But we're still stuck in a political environment in which prominent conservative voices at high-profile conservative outlets a) don't recognize the difference between climate and weather; b) find meaningless anecdotes compelling evidence of global trends; and c) are entirely comfortable delaying necessary solutions while an already-completed debate continues. Also yesterday, the Wall Street Journal editorial page ran an item from Kimberly Strassel that offered even less persuasive evidence. ( ...
