They only want to highlight the rest of the world's opinion when it comes to picking our next president.

I think most normal people (i.e. non-politicans) that live in the real world realize what these scoundrals are doing. Taking a tax on something that changes all the time (climate) so that they can always tax on it. If it's too hot then it's emissions, too cold well they'll come up with something else...when most people realize that the climate is largely driven by the sun and your position on the earth.

Great articles...it's showing that some people aren't sheep out there.

I think it was Hannity on Fox who reported that the House cap and trade bill took 10 hours to read on the floor.

This is really NOT what we need.  Yet another overly complex tax scheme which will result in countless "hidden" taxes being passed on to consumers - hurting the middle and low income earners the hardest.

Gasoline, and heating oil, and electric bills will all spike as the direct result of cap and trade. 

And who will gain the most?  Cap and trade accountants and lawyers of course.

If the congress really wanted to provide some immediate relief for truckers, commuters and consumers, it would pass some "all out" oil exploration/production bills  Even with real increased production years away, it would probably be enough of a psychological hit to pop the current crude oil price bubble.

Send the speculators running!

I've been wondering all winter/spring why it was so Quiet on the Global Warming Front. Not a lot of stuff was going on. Of course the "Threatened" Polar bear thing recently was a BIG start...especailly for Oil Price Run UPS.

If I was a Saudi Prince, I would be Supremely Confident that Congress wasn't going to give me any Competition in Oil for the next few years....Congress is sending a Message to the Russians, Saudi's, Candians, Venuzuealans, etc..that Oil Drilling is a good investment...they got no competition from the Worlds most Powerful Economy.

Drive them prices up, and Suck the Money from the USA.

The Republican Revolution will not be Televised

I knew how much people around the world are upset by the tax loads that accompany the climate change scam because I read overseas online press extensively. But you're right, Tom, the MSM have turned a deaf ear to the subject.

Something that I've turned up in my reading is an interesting set of facts:

• There are an estimated 500 million cars in service world-wide
• The replacement cost of those cars at $10K per car (a conservative estimate) is $5 trillion
• The overwhelming majority of those cars are owned by individuals not organisations, so that $5 trillion expense falls mostly on private citizens not organisations
• With the growth of the Chinese and Indian economies, the growth in the number of cars in service and the fuel they consume will offset any fuel savings gained by replacement of less fuel efficient cars with more fuel efficient cars
  • This means that at best, in the face of massive replacement of fuel-inefficient cars, the supply demand picture remains about as it is now
  • At worst, demand will continue to rise faster than production driving fuel prices higher world-wide
• Even without new taxes levied on fuel, the increased price and increased demand will increase revenues to governments world-wide; adding new taxes will increase the revenues to governments geometrically

The lefty International Energy Agency over in Paris released a report this week that projects a total cost of $45 trillion to "fix" climate change. I have only one question to ask of George Bush, Barack Hussein Obama, John McCain, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Lieberman, Al Gore, Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Hu Jintao, Dmitry Medvedev, Angela Merkel, Ehud Olmert, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Nuri al-Maliki, Bashar al-Assad, and every other leader whose name I can't recall at the moment, how are we going to afford $45 trillion while keeping our economies operating well enough to cover the basics like food and clothing?

I have to wonder how long the MSM will be able to ignore the coming world-wide wave of violence against the wealthy as more economies fall apart under the strain of climate change payments and food becomes increasingly scarce/unaffordable. In true fulfillment of the Santayanan observation about history, we are well on our way to turning the egalitarianism of democracy back into the tyranny of wealthy oligarchs and I'm afraid we will suffer the inevitable consequences of doing so.

The good news is that I'll probably be dead by the time the major problems start!
