Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy
National Journal ^ | 2010-01-27

Posted on 01/29/2010 9:37:42 PM PST by rabscuttle385

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation not only because it's good for the economy and the environment, but because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.

"We tried immigration. It's hard. And we failed. We tried Social Security. It's hard. And we failed. We tried health care. It's really hard. And it looks like we're going to have to start over again," Graham somberly told a luncheon audience of energy and climate advocates on the Hill. "On the energy, climate change front, I don't want to add that to the list. There is no reason in my mind that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can't come together."

Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.

If the current congress can succeed in doing nothing, that would constitute a win.

What garbage, satellite temp readings show cooling...the ground readings show a warming because??

http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/surface_temp.pdf

Around 1990, NOAA began WEEDING OUT MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF THE CLIMATE MEASURING STATIONS around the world. They may have been working under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It can be shown that they systematically and purposefully, country by country, REMOVED HIGHER LATITUDE, higher-ALTITUDE and RURAL locations, all of which had a tendency to be cooler.

so do something even though it is fundamentally flawed, just to say you did something big.

Now that makes sense that only a congresscritter can understand.

I've made a personal pledge that every time Graham ticks me off, I'm going to send a small donation to JD Hayworth.

It's time to stop getting mad at Graham and start figuring out his MONEY TRAIL. Who is calling the shots? Who's paying for this? As soon as we figure out exactly what LG is getting out of the deal (maybe all he wants is a piece of lousy legislation with his name on it), the sooner we can stop him.

Our OFFICIAL WEATHER STATION is at the airport...at the end of the BLAST ZONE... the spot where the Jets REV UP their engines for TAKEOFF ..

Before they were CAUGHT ... one of the govt websites had a list of were all the OWS (BS too much) were, and someone had people go and take pictures.. many mounted on side of CHIMNEYS.. just above AC Exhaust fans, etc.. blast way at Airports...

Geez.. no WONDER there’s been GloBULL Warming!!!

Climate chief was told of false glacier claims before Copenhagen

With this administration we’d be better off with this

If we get hit with a once-in-a-century solar storm, we’re history.

If the GOP can't get rid of him, they'll not have me.

Yes, it is. And I meant it very “seriesly.” I’ve been watching this along with other signs for quite awhile now. If it was confined to the USA, I might not be so watchful. But it isn’t. It is a global phenom. Other people in the world don’t eat what we eat or have as much to eat as we do. But that is not stopping the gain in body mass.
There has to be another explanation, and I truly believe the world population is being adapted to colder weather.
I’ve been watching noctilucent clouds which need extremely cold outer atmospheric temperatures to form. They were very rare ten years ago. They have been increasing yearly for that long and being seen in places they have never been seen before which tells me that the outer atmosphere has obviously gotten MUCH colder.
Why no one has put these things together or calculated what effect this might have on the cooling temperatures on the planet boggles my mind.
