The Democrat climate bill.
Proposing a better climate in which left-wing revolutionaries can thrive. (Scu&bags in action.)

Gasoline might face a carbon tax, Too bad the air-heads can't get the CO2 gas nonsense out of their minds.

“What I’ve said is that we would put a cap-and-trade system in place that is more — that is as aggressive if not more aggressive than anybody else’s out there, so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” ~ Obama
You lose, loser!

“...a sector by sector approach to cutting greenhouse gas emissions,...”
Let’s see, how’s about we start by cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the lips of the governmental sector (legislative, executive and regulatory).
I suspect that’ll solve most of our problems, and we should then be able to leave all the other sectors alone to do their jobs without a lot of interference from DC.

Dear Lindsey Graham; This Climate Bill is an anti-growth attack on productive American industry - based on a now repudiated Scientific Fraud!
Drop it now!

The only downside to Cap'n Tax being dead is that the economy might start to recover faster. As long as it's still in the toilet until after the November elections, we'll probably be okay.

This is cap-and-trade by another name! It has Al Gore’s blessings. See Al Gore’s op-ed in NYT today where he admits that Graham’s bill is similar to cap-and-trade.

Three senators are seeking to radically overhaul stalled climate legislation by proposing to dump broad cap-and-trade provisions and take a sector by sector approach to cutting greenhouse gas emissions... Why do we want to cut supposed "greenhouse gas" emissions when there is no evidence that they harm anyone or anything?

Here is a report on the EAU/CRU produced by the
British Institute of Physics to the UK Parliament ... It is devastating. Basically it says unless the released materials are forgeries, it's one big giant hoax, just as most freepers have said.

Basically, they just changed the name because, thankfully, we have won that debate and turned Cap and Trade into Massive Tax Increase in the minds of most Americans. So they are going to come up with a new touchy, feely name for it. I’m sure it will work as well for them as “Public Option” did for “Socialized Medicine”...

We are being screwed by Lindsay Gramnasty. They need to first figure out what actual climate impact is involved. So far, we only have a scheme to play with carbon trading and screw us out of our life’s work in the name of the Communists and National Socialists. Stop them before they kill us.
