Global Warming Is Alive And Well: Cap and Tax Next

US Senate climate bill to be unveiled April 26

* Backers hope for Senate vote in June or July
* Measure could affect states' climate control activities

From Reuters:
A long-awaited compromise bill to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming will be unveiled by a group of senators on April 26, sources said on Thursday.
The legislative language to be sketched out in 11 days, according to government and environmental sources, is being drafted by Democratic Senator John Kerry, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and independent Senator Joseph Lieberman.


President Barack Obama has made climate change one of his top priorities and took steps recently to show Republicans he was serious, including expanding federal aid for building nuclear power facilities and allowing more domestic offshore oil drilling -- initiatives to be included in the Senate compromise.
The White House is also eager to show the rest of the world the United States is ready to take a leadership role on global warming, including to help kick-start stalled international efforts to tackle the problem.
Despite vocal climate change skeptics in the United States, leading scientific groups have been hoping the United States, the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, would take action.


While Obama is compromising by moving to the center on this by okaying offshore drilling and building more nuclear reactors, in the end, there is little comprise at all. Here's why: Nuclear reactors and drilling take years to implement, and while the blanket statement offshore drilling is used, will it be in areas that will be most productive? Furthermore, there is no retrenchment or reproachment from Obama on his position, in spite of the fact at the very least there are serious doubts to the validity to the theory of global warming, if not outright admission that it is a hoax. In the end, if this bill passes, Obama gets what he wants and we get a promise yet to be fulfilled. It's total bullshit and doesn't adress the heart of the problem with is redistribution of wealth by the mechanism of a hoax perpetrated on us by people whose sole goal in the end is world-wide socialism.

No matter what gifts Grahamnesty comes forth with (or McLame for that matter), don't fall for it. This fight is as important as the one for Obamacare, and remember, we lost that one. While November is coming, it isn't here yet. So, we must either forestall this bill until the next session where it might be dead, or kill it now. Anything less is capitulation.

PS, I wonder if the global warming hoaxists will want to penalize Iceland for their volcano spewing so much dust? In the end they should be quite happy: The dust will lower temperatures and keep a lot of aircraft on the ground. Of course this also means they can't jet set in their G5s. Oh well. I am sure they will blame the eruption on man. Anthropogenic Volcanic Eruptions. May be Rush Limbaugh, but Iceland?

The Fairness Doctrine: Should we be concerned?

The Fairness Doctrine is a real concern for those that speak to the issues from the right. The resurgence of talk radio began when the fairness doctrine was removed. The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was (in the FCC's view) honest, equitable, and balanced. The fairness doctrine was in force between 1949 and 1987 when it was unanimously was abolished by the FCC, but it must be said that it had been under attack and challenged in courts for several years previous. Currently, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and John Kerry support bringing it back. For more information, read here.

Kerry shows a sense of humor, but did he go too far?

I find it interesting that the cacasottone suggests that McCain wears Depends. Of course this was just a lame try at humor from Lurch, and I guess I should applaud his attempts to appear warmer than room temperature, but if he said it from the standpoint of knowing something I do not, then I think it was in poor taste, otherwise, it's just weak. I bet Kerry wishes he had Depends when he was on the fast boat PCF 94.
