Ask a typical person concerned about global warming if they think Congress will enact a bipartisan solution to climate change, and the response is likely to be a derisive laugh.
For millions of Americans who watch cable news shows or read the papers, such cynicism is easy to come by. Democrats and Republicans can barely get together on keeping the government from shutting down. How in the world could they ever come together on an issue as politically divisive as climate change?
But in the past decade, the findings and predictions of climate scientists have been validated by real-world evidence: ice vanishing from poles and glaciers, sea levels rising, storms and wildfires becoming more destructive, and temperatures moving inexorably in one direction — up.
Even before the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, which gave big-monied interests the power to bend national policy to their will on issues like climate change, the divide between the parties was widening — Democrats seeing climate change as an issue needing to be addressed; Republicans questioning the urgency and need for action and whether a problem existed at all.
Given that Republicans are the party of less government, it’s safe to assume that additional regulation falls outside the Venn diagram sweet spot of common ground. The solution most likely to find favor in both camps has to be market-based and revenue-neutral, and a fee on carbon with proceeds returned to households meets those requirements. Such a fee will provide the economic incentive to speed the transition to clean energy and reduce carbon emissions.
Etc...

This guy is full of more crap than a Christmas Goose. Here's a hint: they stopped calling it Global Warming and started calling it Climate Change because there was no warming.
I would think that over the last decade precisely the opposite has proved true — temperatures are cooling.
Take money out of your pocket and put it into my pocket. Revenue neutral, see? How could a thoughtful conservative possibly object?
This article would have relevance if only Global Warming were not an utter hoax.
Let’s just agree that all polution is bad, OK?
Then we can stop arguing if “climate change” is happening, and whether we need to send $trillions of our dollars to other countries because of it.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
translation: There are a sufficient number of RINOs who are corrupt enough that they can be convinced to vote for something that cuts them in on a sweet piece of that carbon tax pie.
The “solution” is to expose the fraud!!!
But can they pass this nonsense by a veto-proof margin?
More likely full of OPM (Other Peoples Money). He gets paid to make sure Global Warming sounds credible.
“Mark Reynolds is executive director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. “
And a “writer” for the “Hill” of Crap!
Yes, and the smart ones always will respond with derisive laughter, because they know that there is nothing, repeat NOTHING that the United States congress, or any other governmental body on earth, can do to "solve" global warming.
They can pass stupid and expensive laws which are destructive to our economy and our society. However, such laws absolutely, positively, will not "solve" global warming.
Anyone who would entertain the idea that our government can legislate the climate of this planet is a moron.

Arctic ice volume highest in 11 years.
CO2 model is wrong, and maybe dead wrong.
The solar model is correct.
Hendrik Svensmark, Danish scientist, said when the sun is into a minimum with reduced flaring and reduced magnetic flux, then cosmic particles will rain down on earth in greater force, seeding new clouds and blocking the sun thereby cooling the earth.
Fits a better pattern than CO2.
I have been waiting for a group of experts to step up and do just that for the past 15 years. Who and Where are they?
Complete and utter bullsh!it.
There was a solar eclipse last year and its location and time were correctly predicted long before the event. When the global warming people can accurately predict when and where hurricanes will hit, I will listen to them.
Pay your indulgences to the government? What could go wrong? (Hint: See social security)
“...sea levels rising”
During extreme low tides ancient Roman fortifications can sometimes be seen in Britain. So either sea levels have risen in the last two thousand years or Britain has sunk a bit. In either case, the people coped. They just moved a bit inland.
Speaking of Britain, there is a path that is submerged by high tides twice a day. It is called the Broomway and it has been in use for 600 years. So the sea level hasn’t risen that much.
Congress has a solution: They’re going to take our money AND our freedom.
We can thank them now. :)
I'll start paying attention when they can accurately predict tomorrow's temperature for my hometown. Right now, they're at +/- 3 degrees (a "three degree guarantee", sez the weatherman...), which they hit about 3 days in 5.
Global temperature, to within a tenth of a degree, 100 years from now? Might as well use an 8-ball, would be just as accurate.
