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.

ATTENTION HAYWORTH SUPPORTERS: If you care about defeating McCain, I urge you to visit the above link. It’s a very easy load and worth it!

I have been informed that the McCain/Hayworth Primary will be on Aug 24. We have time to nail that turkey to the wall!

Arizona’s Capitol Building sold! State to make $735 million

Outstanding....

I can only hope they put the government employees into double wide trailers on the edge of town, and pay them minimum wage for the privilege of serving it's Arizona citizens.

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.

Lindsey Graham will fly over soon to give AZ a piece of his SC (socialist/communist) mind.

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].

You’re probably right...I just cannot get past how he plays himself out there...I’m at the point where anyone could say anything durogatory about him and I’d believe it!
