"Oh, Henry. Cap me. Trade me."
Handsome Henry Waxman, the king of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, was asked today by POLITICO if he would push for climate legislation next year if he’s still in a majority leadership position.
“If we haven’t done the job completely this year, we’ll continue to fight it next year through the House and the Senate.”

Please! Do not get me started. Anthropomorhic Global Warming (AGW) is a myth. Pseudo-scientists started this atrocity in order to get grants and residuals inorder to enhance their life style and perhaps assist in setting the ideological agenda for lefty-land. There is big money in research. UCLA received a $800.000.000 grant from the stimulus bill in order to study male African genital hygiene. Wow, if they asked me, I would have told them about my high school hygiene class and the recommendation to wash well. Of course, Cass Sunstein has the oversight of the stimulus money and I am sure he thinks this is great science.
The science reported through the "hokey-stick, Himalaya ice melt, tree ring measures and much more are pure fabrication. Also, the data for this "science" was "cooked". Just Google "Climate-Gate" and read all about it.
Let us not forget the Chicago Climate Exchange and who helped start it with a grant from the Joyce Foundation. It was Obama. Valerie Jarrett is on the board of the CCX. There is a British equivalent to the CCX. Al Gore has stock in both exchanges. The U.N. is also hot on the AGW topic. They want climate control, so they can control the world through carbon exchanges. Here is a free flow of money into the U.N. so they can destroy the U.S. sovereignity and control or energy production and use.
So Mr. Waxman, what part of climate change legistaltion is going to pay you off, the Chicago way.
In conclusion, climate change legislation is poor bull poop. But, I am glad that Waxman is going to push this just before the November election.

Global Warming-the scam of the century.
What's worse is the consequences of the uncritical belief in this nonsense ... all the business killing costs and damage to our economy.
It is not just all the wasted money on the ridiculous "studies," it is the cost of the bureaucracy that set up additional rules and regulations and policies that only serve to grow government at the expense of the people.
That's what happens when you get ideologues and theorist statists running the government.

Last year I prepared articles on three different presidents for a reference work on the environment: Bush, Clinton, and Bush. One thing I noticed is that the Republican platforms during the Bush-Quayle years took credit for pushing through cap-and-trade legislation to control acid rain, using "market forces" instead of "the command and control system" supposedly favored by Democrats.
Now, Republicans are denouncing cap-and-trade when Democrats are amenable to using it. They say its socialist. (Incidentally, the health care reform bill that passed Congress this year is pretty much what Orrin Hatch recommended as an alternative to Hillary Clinton's plan in 1993).
As for whether global warming is a scam, one Gary Fouse wrote only a month or so ago that he doesn't know if its a genuine concern or not, he just doesn't think the science is totally convincing yet. Now the keeper of this site flippantly calls it the scam of the century.
You should check out Lance's post on the subject, not for what Lance said, but for the fact that up to the first 24 comments, people of various persuasions were having a reasonable and rational discussion. It may even tilt back that way again.
Siarlys,
Well, heh heh, you've been reading long enough to know I sometimes use a little hyperbole. But how do you know I haven't learned more since last month. Maybe next time I'll call it the biggest scam in the hsitory of all mankind, howzat?
Seriously, I don't know the truth, but I do suspect it's a scam. That's my position. I predict in about 20 years, everybody will be calling it a scam. Biggest in the last 100 years or all time? Who knows?
I predict in about 20 years, everybody will be calling it a scam.
I'm sorry, but that's just deafeningly ignorant. The truth is that in 20 years, the deniers will be put in the same category as flat earthers.
And Squid, I guess you didn't check out my link, did you? You're spouting off all sorts of long-since debunked talking points.
I'm sorry, but I'll go with 97% of climatologists rather than the scientifically illiterate.
