This will increase pressure on the Congress to pass a cap and trade bill that would take away the EPA’s power to regulate CO2 emissions. The Republicans should stand firm and let the Democrats lie in the bed they have made. They should also hammer home the implications of ClimateGate and make it clear that all laws based on faulty science will be repealed when we retake power.

Sorry, but nothing allows them to bypass congress, especially when it comes to levying taxes or spending money. The house must do that, period. Senators and Reps need to jump on this with both feet and take back their authority and tell the EPA, and Bozo, to shove it.

"However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small-- perhaps undetectable-- effect on global climate."

Yet another little known factoid. About 98.6% of hydrocarbons released yearly into the Earths oceans are as a result of natural seepage from gas vents and cracks in the ocean floor. Another 1.2 percent are as a result of decaying matter runoff from rivers. Man's direct contribution... .2 percent max! This figure is completely swamped out for years on end every time there is a significant volcanic eruption.

The average erupting volcano spews cubic miles of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere that mostly settles into the oceans. Think about it. Mount St. Helen produced more "Green House Gasses" in a single eruption than Mankind has produced since the dawn of the industrial revolution. Yet according to these scam artists, were the ones steering Global Climate.

ABC, CBS, and NBC are aiding this. We need to start with the media.

I’m afraid you are right. Desperately afraid.

No, it isn't, and we will pay a price to regain that precious commodity - but our enemies are going to pay much, much more.
