Sneaky Climate Change Amendments

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Democrats Study Plan B for Energy, Climate Change. The Obama administration's already dim hopes of passing sweeping energy and climate change legislation darkened further with last week's Republican victory in the special election to fill a Senate seat from Massachusetts. Now Democratic leaders eager to cap the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming are mulling a possible Plan B: tacking "clean energy" measures onto a job-creation package and following that up with an "energy-only" bill that doesn't contain a specific plan for combating climate change. (chron.com)".

Please be on your toes watching for the Democratic tricky maneuvers. Stupidity is hard to stamp out. The only positive thing I can say about Democrats is they are persistent. Unfortunately, their persistence is usually directed on the wrong objectives.

Climate change legislation, including various manifestations of Cap & trade, declaring carbon dioxide a noxious gas, and others must be eliminated. If possible it should be replaced by a bill which demands a two-third majority in both the House and the Senate before it can ever again be considered.

The more immediate problem is the Democrats' plan to add climate change amendments to more favorable bills, such as job-creation. It will be necessary to combat that with perseverance demanding that any bill involving climate change or job-creation must be free-standing.

Discredit EPA on Global Warming

E-mail to Senators Murkowski and Lincoln:

EIN News says, "Senator Offers Measure to Overturn EPA Greenhouse-Gas Effort. Sen. Lisa Murkowski offered Thursday a measure to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency's plans to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions, putting a new edge on a conflict over environmental policy. The Republican lawmaker offered a "resolution of disapproval" after picking up support from lawmakers including Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.), who is high on the list of Democrats at risk of losing their seats in the November midterm elections. The resolution would block an EPA finding that greenhouse gases pose a danger to the public, a legal pre-requisite for regulating. (wsj.com)".

Congratulations!

I speak as a scientist. All gases in the atmosphere show a greenhouse effect. Without them the Earth would be unlivably cold.
atmosphere and its coefficient of the transmission is such that it has little to no effect on Earth temperatures. Know what it is the concentration were doubled.

The EPA and many others have been embarked on a political maneuver, without basis of scientific fact.

Another Nail in the Global Warming Coffin

E-mail the Congress:

EIN News says, "Largest U.S. Farm Group Rallies Against Climate Bill. The largest U.S. farm group will oppose aggressively "misguided" climate legislation pending in Congress and fight animal rights activists, said American Farm Bureau Federation president Bob Stallman on Sunday. In a speech opening the four-day AFBF convention, Stallman said American farmers and ranchers "must aggressively respond to extremists" and "misguided, activist-driven regulation (reuters.com)".

Where have these people been up to now? Perhaps they finally see that the ship is sinking. Most likely they have been sitting on their haunches, because they have been receiving subsidies and did not want to shake up the goose laying the golden eggs. But, the goose is dying, and we should all be giving a last-minute effort to keep it alive.

In spite of that negative comment, hooray for the American Farm Bureau Federation and particularly Bob Stallman! We can use all the help we can get in trying to wake up Congress to the terrible myth of carbon dioxide in global warming and the need for its control.
