The Climate Security Act: Reject this nonsense | |
2008-05-25 | |
The idea behind the bill is to reduce carbon dioxide, supposedly one of the major "greenhouse gases" that are, again supposedly, leading to a dire warming of our planet. Never mind that the "settled science" of global warming hardly is -- and never mind the scientific evidence of cooling -- the Climate Security Act stands to do serious, if not irreparable, harm to an already struggling economy. Concludes an in-depth analysis by The Heritage Foundation: • The act "represents an extraordinary level of economic interference by the federal government."The Climate Security Act is the definition of a crock. It's an ill-defined solution to a "problem" that's dubious to begin with. Congress must reject such nonsense. Congress must serve reason. | |

#2 I'd get on that bandwagon. The giant smack delivered by the Law of Unintended Consequences in this nation's rush to embrace ethanol really smarted. Not only has it contributed to higher food prices domestically, it also has played a significant role in a world food shortage... Must be that we (the U.S.) are feeding a large portion of the world to have that kind of effect. Maybe, some of the countries that are having problems should step up to the plate and feed their own rather than stir up trouble in the world for us and others. Maybe they should spend their money growing food rather than on arms. Maybe some of the countries that are having problems should stop trying to kill us. |

#1 At some point, there will be a voter uprising when some gifted speaker runs on a platform of a 50% reduction in the size of government, and has coattails that bring enough new blood into congress to make it happen. |
