Global-warming legislation - fight isn't over
One News Now ^ | November 27 2009 | Pete Chagnon

Although a vote on "climate change" legislation is being pushed into 2010, a leading think tank is warning people to stay on their toes.

Prospects are looking dim for cap-and-trade legislation in 2009. In conjunction, America's failure to pass the legislation is having a negative effect on the upcoming Copenhagen climate treaty talks. But Ben Lieberman of The Heritage Foundation warns concerned citizens that the fight is not over.

"Those of us who are concerned about the global-warming legislation as it currently stands need to constantly be vigilant," he urges. "But it does look like things are being pushed into 2010. Reality is just sort of intruding on this parade -- the economic reality [is] that this is going to be very burdensome in the midst of recession [and] the scientific reality furthered by evidence of e-mails coming out, showing that the science behind this may actually be fraudulent. So it may be all cost for no real benefit in terms of actually reducing a real problem, so the wheels are really coming off the cart on this issue."

The e-mails Lieberman is referring to were allegedly leaked from the U.K.-based Hadley Center ...

The fight isn't over until Washington, and each state legislature, is voided of all communists and their socialist fellow travelers.

Petition the Law Makers to Stop this Scam

Gore is cashing in, it looks like fun.
How can WALL STREET join the run?
Cap and Trade that’s the answer
But who will pay?
The consumers, of course They’re easy pray
Think of the Subsidies Think of Waste
As Cost of Energy Elevates
Energy, life blood of man, will stop in this here land
Business will head to other places along with their tax base
Law Makers Make a Stand
Energy Independence, this is plain
But some Law Makers want to enslave us
Enslave us to the Foreign Carbon Game
So, make your case CO2, that “Evil Gas”, Rules the Climate if you can
Or declare CO2 a non pollutant
Take it out of EPA’s Hand

The socialists CAN’T stop the global-warming legislation, because green is the new red and they have no fallback position.

"Global cooling" failed to catch on in the '70s, but "acid rain" (oooooh, acid rain!) worked well as a leftist boogeyman in the '80s and '90s... Maybe they can recycle that old alarmist crap now that the "global warming" scam has been exposed. More likely, they'll come up with something new. I wonder what they'll cook up next? "Toxic" something or "poison" something...?
