"Good morning. I'm Senator Barbara Boxer from California and Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Next week, the Senate will begin debate on one of the most important issues of our time -- global warming.
"Senators have come together across party lines to write a law that will not only enable us to avoid the ravages of unchecked global warming, but will create millions of new jobs and put us on the path to energy independence. Other benefits of our legislation will be cleaner air, energy efficiency, relief for consumers and the alternative energy choices that American families deserve. And, by acting wisely, America will regain the leadership we have lost these past seven years.
"There are some in the Senate who insist that global warming is nothing more than science fiction. These are the same kind of voices who said that the world was flat, cigarettes were safe and cars didn't need airbags - long after the rest of us knew the truth.
"The fact is that the overwhelming majority of scientists say that the earth is in peril if we don't act now. They've told us clearly that more than 40 percent of God's creatures could face extinction if we don't act now. They've told us of more intense weather events if we don't act now. Health experts have told us that infectious diseases will increase due to warmer waters. And military leaders have told us that unchecked global warming will lead to severe conflict and war as droughts, floods and rising sea levels create huge numbers of desperate refugees.
"I hope you will help us convince the negative voices that we must act now to avert these dangers. Tell the Bush administration to help us, not fight us. Tell your Senators that action now will have positive results for our families and our nation. Tell those skeptics who say 'wait for China and India to act' that the America we know and love doesn't hide from a challenge and wait for others to lead.
"Right now, many of our states, including my home state, are leading. They have the will. Our mayors are leading. They have the will. Religious leaders have urged us to act now as well. They reminded me of a wonderful quote that motivates me to work as hard as I can for as long as it takes to responsibly address global warming. These words stay with me: 'When God created the first man, he took him around to all the trees in the Garden of Eden and said to him "see my handiwork, how beautiful and choice they are. Be careful not to ruin and destroy my world, for if you do ruin it, there is no one to repair it after you."'
"I truly hope that you will support our efforts on the Senate floor. Please join our fight, and thanks for listening."
The problem is, the rest of the nation thinks this is one of California’s best and brightest.
< hangs head in shame >
$20.00 says she claims to believe in evolution. So what's the problem Barbara -- won't they will be replaced by new creatures evolving to take their place?
Uh
Huh?
Where did this quote come from?
“Next week, the Senate will begin debate on one of the most important issues of our time — global warming.”
GW is a hoax. At least previous government passed laws against snake oil salesman to stop that hoax, not to pass laws to support it.
Please stop this insanity.
Maybe Iran’s “good will” can help us “fight” global warming.
So. God’s words about the trees being beautiful handiworks “stayed with” Babs- I think Babs would cry if someone cut down millions of baby trees. But not babies developing in the womb.
she is as dumb as a box of rocks!!!!
Probably from here!
“They’ve told us clearly that more than 40 percent of God’s creatures could face extinction if we don’t act now.”
Speaking of faces and radio addresses...Babs does have a face made for radio.
The best solution to gorebal warming is simple. Get all the environazi’s to jump off a cliff like the lemmings they are. It will greatly improve the American gene pool, and stop all the hot air coming from the useful idiots!
..it won't stop, it's about the $$$$, another way to get into the US tax payers pocket. It's a cottage industry designed to slowly destroy the US by socialist liberal agendas with the help the spineless vote whores in the US Congress
It don't say that in the NIV.
You are absoloutly right...these political hacks such as my (I am ashamed ) sen boxer...spew the name of God when ever it suits their purpose... but heaven help a kid in school uttering the word God..unless of course it is in a swearing form..
Rule of thumb: If Boxer is for it intelligent people are against it.
Where did this quote come from?
Beat me to the punch...
Yes, God put man in the Garden to dress it and keep it. And God gave man dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, and the beasts of the field -- so we can thus infer man's responsibility as a caretaker of God's Creation ... but Ms. Boxer twists God's words to make the 'Garden' to be the center of God's interest -- not HIS Son - and not the people that HE came to save. This is pure Gaia-ism. Worship of the planet, not of God.
God gave HIS son for us. Not for the trees and the critters. HIS center of attention are on His people that are called by HIS name, and that worship HIM as God and Saviour.
Furthermore, Biblical Scholar Ms. Boxer should understand that God has said that HE will consume the heavens and earth in fire, and then create a new heaven and earth -- I don't think HE is too worried ("...for if you do ruin it, there is no one to repair it after you...").
Seems she missed the message: "If it's 'ruined', Barbara, all the kings horses and all the king's men cannot put it together again. Including your deluded, little, socialist, self."
Here's a quote she can use: "If it ain't broke, don't (try to) fix it!"
This is a good example of why you don’t put stupid people in charge of public policy...
she forgot to mention all those things that she thinks WONT put us onto the energy independence path, like drilling in ANWR, drilling off our coasts, mining oil shale, building refineries and new nuke plants. Oh, did I forget drilling and mining for oil?
