Arizona Quits Climate Pact
Investors.com ^ | February 12, 2010 | INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY Staff

Posted on 02/12/2010 4:18:52 PM PST by Kaslin

Cap-And-Trade: The Grand Canyon State avoids a big economic hole by suspending its participation in a multistate initiative to fight climate change. As climate fraud is exposed, economic reality sets in. Will California follow?

Not since King Canute have government officials engaged in an exercise as futile as in 2007, when seven U.S. states and four Canadian provinces got together to form something called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2012.

Leading the charge for the pact was California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who insisted, "We cannot wait for the United States government to get its act together on the environment." At the time he said the regional agreement "sets the stage for a regional cap-and-trade program which will provide a powerful framework for developing a national cap-and-trade program."

Since then, the nation has slid into a recession, and the only thing man-made about climate change has been the manipulated and manufactured claims that we are doomed if we don't act to fight it.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, seeing which way the snow is blowing, has issued an executive order saying her state will suspend its participation in the emission-control plan or any program that could raise costs for businesses and consumers.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, seeing which way the snow is blowing

Off topic a bit, but speaking of snow---it is highly likely that today, February 12 2010, there is snow on the ground in all 50 States. I wonder if that has ever happened before. Anybody?

I imagine that ‘fighting climate change’ is much like shadow fighting. No one really wins but you can sure knock yourself out if you’re not careful!

Meanwhile Here in Michigan we’re going to cling to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord if it kills us. We signed with Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Manitoba. It was signed in 07.

Indiana, Ohio and South Dakota signed on as “observers”.

We in California have a chance to repeal AB32. All Californians need to get involved in the repeal of this terrible bill. This can be on the Nov 2010 ballot if enough signatures.

http://www.suspendab32.org/index.htm

Need help from Californians or any others interesting.

The will also help to humiliate and embarass Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's worth it if for no other reason.

Arizona Gov. Brewer ? don't just suspend it, get out of the whole thing all together and announce you will bring a real jobs program to Arizona relying on " PROVEN " energy resources.

The KFI John and Ken show interviewed a Gal from the Arizona Sierra Club ....they tortured her....LOL!

NY Times article:

Arizona Quits Western Cap-and-Trade Program

Not finding anything about it on their website...she kept claiming the market based cap and trade would create jobs and they kept asking how many...?

They told her that two professors at Cal State Sacramento had published a report that said the full California green program was going to kill a million jobs....she didn't like that but had no good answer.

I’ve helped campaigns in the past with my opposition reasearch. There was a Texas senate race. I remember researching Kirk. Texans helped spread the info I gathered.

Each year, people are learning better ways to use the internet to help their candidate. But the information needs to be available. There needs to be a go-to place. My beating the grass, I ran into DoughtyOne. Looks to me that he is already way ahead on a good file for McCain research.

I don’t know if McCain is bought. He’s not huring for money. Blackmailed? Maybe. I personally think he just doesn’t respect his own assumptions and thinks too highly of the intelligencia [all indoctrinated by IV league colleges].

Sign the Petition to Unstupify California

Yes, I know this initiative only seeks a "suspension" of the stupid law, but the avalanche of proof of massive "global warming" fraud can never be swept under the rug. Only a musclebound-brain governor can fail to see that.

Repeal of the law is the only rational thing to do.
