From the Wall Street Journal:
"People are learning," says William Kovacs, vice president of environment,
technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (which has
been cautious about embracing a climate plan). "The Obama budget did more to
help us consolidate and coalesce the business community than anything we could
have done. It's opened eyes to the fact that this is about a social welfare
transfer system, not about climate."
Oh yeah, the proposed "cap and trade" shell game will be nothing more than a new way for government to hound American industry (what's left of it) to pony up billions for "redistribution". For you lemmings out there who have daily Gorebasms, here is a little inconvenient truth for you.
Mr. Obama is promising to return auction money to Americans, via a tax cut he proposed on the campaign trail. Mr. Corker calls this a "sleight of hand," since people were counting on a tax cut in any event. Nobody told them they'd have to fund it with higher energy costs. It's also a wealth transfer -- electricity users in coal-heavy Ohio, for instance, will be funding tax cuts for green Californians. Not that congressional spenders have any intention of using this money for tax cuts in the first place.
As a Duke Power customer, I fully expect my rates to climb exponentially as this nonsense becomes law; and the entire charade is built on crisis mongering. Of course, alarmism is the preferred tool of anti capitalists everywhere. Sort of a scare 'em and screw 'em plan. However, over 30,000 scientist world wide have signed a petition that refutes the chicken little philosophy of Gore, Gorbachev, et al (though the MSM paid little attention to it).:
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth."
Oh yes, things are shaping up nicely. Freedom hating Islamo crazies are taking over Europe and moving westward, and freedom fearing liberals are jamming their commie laden enviro-politics up the tail pipe of the greatest economic engine the world has ever known.
And all of it based on damnable lies.
Hat tip: Planet Gore
and, people are very sure obama's chomping at the bit to sign KYOTO! THEN, we can spend money for EVERYONE but OURSELVES! Won't that be COOL? (Grrrrr) If ONLY they'd have SOMEONE speak out who the media will BROADCAST! Where is Bjorn Lomborg? (on Conservative talk radio...singing to the choir)
ReplyDelete"damnable lies" is right. Did you realize they didn't even INVITE the side that says global change isn't man made to the Bali "Conference"?
This is the new AMERICA: OBAMA IS ELECTED AND NOBODY ELSE HAS A VALID THOUGHT OR GOAL.
man
As Pelosi and Comrade Obama have both said, "We won". Translation; "We won, so everyone else shut up." Global warming is a scam. It is one of a myriad of policies which will lead to America's decline. The American votes have let our doom in by the front door.
ReplyDeleteComrades,er, I mean Z and da Patriot:
ReplyDeleteThe stifling of speech concerning climate change, and the "settled science" mantra of the "Goracle" flies in the face of a free society. And that is right Z, valid thought is officially out of style.
The doom came in by the front door...and the people's money and freedoms are going out the back.
Thank you for your comments.
"Shell game" is the correct term for it, all right. Obama's just waiting for all the suckers to step right up...
ReplyDeletePCC: and there's one born every minute...
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours much love, peace, and happiness!
ReplyDeleteJust think about the pomp and self aggrandizement required to conclude that by the right people passing a few laws on a few people living on a relatively small piece of land on this huge sphere we call earth; that that same planet's temperature can be changed even one one thousandth of one degree, much less several degrees. That so many otherwise intelligent people could be so easily duped proves there is no depth of self disillusionment so deep that it is beyond man's ability to descend himself into it.
ReplyDeleteThankful Paul, your story is amazing.
ReplyDeleteDan, I think the self disillusionment comes from spritual depravity. Earth worship fills that void. And the best part, as t durham likes to say, there's no need to worry about sin or it's consequences. In the Gaia religion, all you to do to "get right" is recycle a couple of cans.
