Kerry-Boxer-Waxman-Markey & Lindsey: Yes You Can Destroy Jobs, The Experts Find

Read here and here. Senator Lindsey Graham has chosen to side with Leftists-Liberals who want to impose new taxes and onerous regulations on American-based businesses and consumers. His choice to embrace the United Nations (UN's IPCC) hysterical global warming and climate change fears is simply astounding. Surely he must know that despite the hysteria, any government attempts to reduce CO2 emissions will have almost zero impact on global temperatures. Or, maybe he's just one of those typical, ignorant "elites"- totally out of touch with the real facts, the real people and the real world.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Decides To Drink 'Global Warming' Kool-Aid: Why Do Republicans Do Such Incredibly Stupid Things?

Are U.S. Politicians Really This Stupid? Economists Predict CO2 Reduction Costs Up To 100X Higher Than Benefits - Trillions Lost

Read here. The world's expert climate-change economists estimate that the costs associated with reducing CO2 emissions will be multiple times higher than the actual CO2 reduction benefits. If the negative impact on global trade is also included, the costs will likely double. Unfortunately, many U.S. politicians (especially the majority of Democrats and the Obama administration) want to throw money down what is a known huge rat hole for very unsound economic and climatic reasons.

This Is Climate-Change Policy? Obama Gives Hundreds of Millions To Gore For $90,000 Electric Cars - Transferring Wealth To The Rich?

Read here. Let's see - not only is a Gore-backed company getting hundreds of millions to produce electric cars for the status conscious wealthy, these electric cars won't even be built in America (a non-stimulus stimulus, so to speak). Plus, the electric cars will require more coal-fired plants to be built in order to supply the extra electricity these cars will consume, which happens to result in more net CO2 emissions. Ya gotta love how the corrupt, liberal Democrats always make sure to first take care of the common American worker and the global environment.

Do Reductions of Human CO2 Emissions Have Any Impact On Atmospheric CO2 Levels? Measurements Are Indicating 'No'

Read here. Our global civilization is conducting an unprecedented, unplanned experiment (major global recession) in reducing human CO2 emissions, and it's not having much impact on CO2 levels in the atmosphere. During 2008, growth of CO2 emissions was slashed by half. For 2009, emissions will be reduced by a considerable 2.5%. Yet, as the above graph shows,......

Big Govt Destroying Communities, Families, Jobs & Wealth To Please Environmental Radicals: 'Cap & Trade' Will Do The Same

Read here. Let there be no doubt, radical environmentalists rule the Obama administration. Obama and his minions will conveniently sacrifice communities, families and jobs to achieve their goals, even over a tiny fish.

Obama's Sec. of Ag Says Warming Is Killing Forests; Study Says He's Wrong - It's Beetles That Kills Forests And Then Causes The Warming

Read here and here. Obama's Cabinet members keep revealing themselves as climate illiterates as they just simply blame every natural event on global warming to convince taxpayers that 'Cap & Tax' is necessary. In the case of Colorado which he was referencing, various beetle types have destroyed millions of acres of lodgepole pine and spruce and the "warming" trend in Colorado since 1998 has been at a -0.60°F per decade rate (yes, minus 0.60°from July 1998 to July 2009).

A Dangerous Economic Experiment, Turning The U.S. Into The Next Uzbekistan: Cap & Trade

A dangerous climate and economic experiment by Democrats: In 2004, Americans emitted 20.4 metric tons of CO2 per person. Democrats want to slash that by 80% by passing their 'cap and trade' legislation. While China, India, Russia and Brazil keep growing by using cheap fossil fuels to become world economic giants, Democrats, and their radical (lunatic?) environmental supporters, want to drive U.S. citizens back to the proverbial economic stone age (click to enlarge).

Is 'War On CO2' Becoming The Next "War On Drugs"? Do We Really Want A 'CO2 Cap&Trade Gestapo'?

Read here and here. There seems to be a 100% consensus that CO2 'Cap & Trade' policies will create a new environment of excessive corruption and crime, as government officials are already laying plans to expand law enforcement into daily operations of businesses. Since the "War on Drugs" has created a criminal environment that has wreaked havoc on innocents worldwide, why would politicians enact more "War" legislation that would do the same?

Obama Rejects Science; Chooses Alarmist Public Relations Effort For Global Warming Tax On Consumers

Read here. Despite the scientific evidence that the globe has been cooling (land, atmosphere and oceans) over the last 10+ years, Obama chooses to publish his first "science" report void of any recent, real-world climate science. Instead, his administration hires a PR firm to embellish the past scaremongering generated exclusively from virtual climate computer models. Unfortunately for real science and America, he has sided with the pseudo science of "virtual lies" and hysterical climate claims in order to get his badly needed revenue-generation engine, 'Cap & Trade,' passed in Congress.

Duke Energy Requests 13% Rate Hike: More Evidence That 'Cap & Trade' Supporters Are Simply Anti-Consumer

How Does Washington D.C. Area Rank Among 'Rogue' Global Warming U.S. States? One of The World's Worst

Previously, we listed the 20 worst U.S. states in terms of global warming. How does the Washington D.C. area compare? Unfortunately, pre-1963 surface temperatures for the Washington D.C. area are not included in the NCDC database. But we can draw a comparison using post 1962 temperatures.

The Washington D.C. area has created a global warming climate with a temperature growth of +0.54F per decade. Compared to the 5 previously identified "worst" global warming U.S. states' temperature growth since 1962, the D.C. area would rank #3. In addition, the Washington D.C. area has CO2 emissions exceeding countries such as "Hungary, Finland, Sweden, Denmark or Switzerland, each of which has more people."

Since the professional political and bureaucrat elites living and working in the D.C. area have demonstrably been some of the worst global warming polluters in the world, they need to sacrifice all their climate-harming lifestyles immediately to fix the global warming problem. This is the only means to quickly facilitate the acceptance of world-saving CO2 emissions reduction by China and India. Honestly, how can we convince China's and India's elites to "do right" by the climate if our mega-tonnage, CO2-spewing U.S. elites are unwilling to make the sacrifice first? "YES, YOU CAN!"

Radical Green Group Tries To Play Economist; Big-Time Smackdown of Green's Moronic Waxman-Markey Analysis

Read here. With both hands tied behind their backs, Heritage Foundation body slams the NRDC's Alice-in-Wonderland analysis that new regulations and higher energy costs imposed by Waxman-Markey legislation will be oh, so wonderful for the U.S. economy. The Heritage review does beg a question: Who the hell supports a lunatic, fringe environmental group's economic analysis anyways? Good question.

Answer: Large, anti-consumer, multinational corporations that stand to profit from carbon trading and offset schemes, while passing 100% of the new W-M costs to consumers; or, energy companies desperately attempting to bolster their "green" creds.  Which large companies are going to sacrifice their customers? Those handful of large corporations (see chart below) that publicly support the NRDC's wacky economics and fringe environmental positions. (click to enlarge)
