Obama environment agenda under threat from incoming Republicans

Republican leaders have begun gathering evidence for sweeping investigations of Barack Obama's environmental agenda, from climate science to the BP oil spill, if as expected, they take control of the House of Representatives in the 2 November mid-term elections, the Guardian has learned.

The new Congress will not be installed until next January, but Democrats and environmental organisations say they are braced for multiple, aggressive investigations from the incoming Republican majority.

Republican leaders have also raised the possibility of disbanding the global warming committee in Congress, established by the Democratic speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

It will be fun to see what secret agreements were made between The Kenyan and Goldman Sachs and GE on Cap & Tax legislation.

I HOPE the Obama environment agenda is threatened and destroyed for all time. We need a serious infusion of common sense and real science in the environment discussion. Earth would be helped greatly if the constantly screaming and protesting wackos would shut up and clean up the garbage they so arrogantly leave behind.

You can tell its Halloween when you see this kind of Guardian story about the scary Republican Tea Party members coming into congress with their Neanderthal rejection of the left's ersatz global warming 'science' and long-overdo investigations of the Obama adnministration. Ohhhh, how terrifying...for Democrats and liberal UK rags.

They may still push cap and tax in their lame duck session. Four seats, including DE will be seated right away. Maybe that is why Obama has gone to DE even when polls show Coons leading.

The republicans in congress will notice the yellow streak up their backs and not do anything. But not because they are really cowards, it’s because most are also socialists.

I also want to see what the agreements were as demanded by the government with the banks.

Banks were told to absorb other entities and were given the terms and conditions as demanded by the government.

Banks, namely Wells Fargo and Bank of America were told to take on billions in debt even though the management at these banks balked but ultimately conceded.

Why? What did the government set down as a punishment for not taking the dirty money?

And yes, I am aware that happened under Bush. Don’t care. They had no right to make those demands.

We will be sending a state senator/ farmer from the 1st District, Tim Huelskamp, who is loaded for bear on this topic. Once he’s on the Ag Committee, it will not be business as usual.

IMHO the first action should be to have the EPA testifying about it’s declaration of CO2 as a toxic pollutant.

“”They want to continue a 20-year assault on climate research, questioning basic science and promoting doubt where there is none,” Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece.”
Hockey stick graph Michael Mann? That idiot?
