Global Warming on Free Republic

Scientific, economic and political realities are reining in worldwide efforts to combat global warming. But not so in California. As others stop short of committing economic suicide, California's overaggressive government could inflict further economic harm on the state.
The California Air Resources Board last week released a draft of its Draconian, top-down manipulation of the economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The agency's cap-and-trade regulations effectively would impose broad-based new taxes by making energy more costly and forcing industries to buy permission to emit greenhouse gases that bureaucrats insist dangerously warm the atmosphere.
However, Congress and 192 nations meeting next month to consider similar binding regulations seem to be backing off, rather than following California's lead. Polls show the public also is growing increasingly skeptical of claims that man-made emissions harm the atmosphere.
Another blow to global warming zealotry was the recent leak of thousands of e-mails and internal documents from the United Kingdom's influential Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. CRU research fed the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007 report that blamed man-made greenhouse gas emissions for dangerously warming the Earth.
Leaked documents indicate researchers may have massaged data to bolster their conclusions, ignored contrary evidence by systematically excluding opposing views and hid or even destroyed data to prevent outsiders from testing their theory. ..
Amid all this, a cap-and-trade bill in the Senate has stalled. ...
Nevertheless, California's air board advances even when most others won't. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association estimates the CARB regulations will generate $143 billion in new state tax revenue from 2012-20 while adding $3.7 billion a year in fuel costs, $50,000 to the price of a new home and a 30-percent increase in electric bills. ..

Believing that global warming legislation has anything to do with the climate is a common mistake.
Government theft, pure and simple.
Criminals will be using taxpayer monies to have a big show and act proud as they meet in Copenhagen this week in what will be a futile attempt to bring in world government and police funded by a carbon tax. The criminals still walk free and still act as overseers for the planet’s overlords.
Just what is the media of the overlords to do? What will be the fall back position. Stay tuned for future announcements of the Climate Change Criminal Conspiracy.

* UN climate panel report "in no way" tarnished
* Review process makes bias impossible
LONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The head of the U.N.'s panel of climate experts rejected accusations of bias on Thursday, saying a "Climategate" row in no way undermined evidence that humans are to blame for global warming.
Climate change sceptics have seized on a series of e-mails written by specialists in the field, accusing them of colluding to suppress data which might have undermined their arguments.
The e-mails, some written as long as 13 years ago, were stolen from a British university by unknown hackers and spread rapidly across the Internet.
But Rajendra Pachauri, who chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), stood by his panel's 2007 findings, called the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). "This private communication in no way damages the credibility of the AR4 findings," he told Reuters in an email exchange.
This report helped to underpin a global climate response which included this week carbon emissions targets proposed by the United States and China, and won the IPCC a share of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
The e-mails hacked from Britain's University of East Anglia last week showed scientists made snide comments about climate sceptics, and revealed exchanges about how to present the data to make the global warming argument look convincing.
In one e-mail, confirmed by the university as genuine, a scientist jokingly referred to ways of ensuring papers which doubted established climate science did not appear in the AR4.
Pachauri said a laborious selection process, using only articles approved by other scientists, called peer review, and then subsequently approving these by committee had prevented distortion.

The ‘Commie Air Resources Board’ aka CARB seems to think they are immune from blame.
Boy, are they in for a shock whenn the subpeonas start flying. (a guy can still dream, right?) ;-)
Abolish CARB? I like it!
Let’s go after the coastal commission and the air quality districts that reign with impunity.
The kicker was having Thanksgiving declared a spare the air day so effectively no one could enjoy a nice fireside atmosphere this Thanksgiving. What a stupid arrogant move.
Not even holidays are sacrosanct from these paganists who worship at the altar of Gore.. they are nothing but ‘gorebalists’, practitioners of the religion of global warming. the whole lot of them.
Mary Nichols is a two-bit crook for the NRDC. For more background on Schwarzenegger and the NRDC, see this thread, particularly the later posts. For more on the NRDC, see this article.
There’s just too many jobs left in CA, but they’ll fix that!
Sadly it sure looks like that is the case Ernie.
