EPA chief: Public tired of debating climate change
thehill ^ | Oct. 24, 2014 | Peter Sullivan

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy said Friday that the public does not want more "debate or discussion" about climate change, but government action.

"First, people overwhelmingly consider climate change to be a problem—and they want action, not more debate or discussion," McCarthy said in a speech at Georgetown University.

"Second, what’s even more impressive, is that we see overwhelming support specifically for EPA action to curb carbon pollution from power plants," she said. "Now that is music to my ears."

It’s like the LA Times, supposedly their editorial policy forbids the printing of any opinion or information debunking climate change.

Well, that certainly is the hallmark of a professional, informed News Organization!!

So, how about we shut down the EPA to avoid the amount of energy expended on pedaling your man made climate change lie?

We are rapidly reaching the point where government is totally unresponsive to actual grievances by the population (e.g., open southern borders), and wholly seeks only its own interests, power, and control.

Once we reach that point, bloodshed and civil war are not far off. Prepare now.

“And the great thing about this proposal is it really is an investment opportunity. This is not about pollution control. It’s about increased efficiency at our plants...It’s about investments in renewables and clean energy. It’s about investments in people’s ability to lower their electricity bills by getting good, clean, efficient appliances, homes, rental units,” McCarthy told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

“This is an investment strategy that will really not just reduce carbon pollution but will position the United States to continue to grow economically in every state, based on their own design,” McCarthy added.

Ah ain't no ways tahrd o' debatin' the Climate Liars!

Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide - Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? By Timothy Ball

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)

The missing hotspot (JoNova)

Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.

Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?

"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"

That article explains why no Hot Spot has been found.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming

Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.

Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of an acceleration of sea level rise how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is far less than the average over the last 18,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.

I would say probably very few people spend anytime worrying about climate change. They are too busy trying to get a job. Or figure out how to pay the Obamacare premioums.

Absolutely!
Uh huh...

That worked so great with the "Affordable" Health Care Act, right?

One more time...
What's the definition of 'Insanity?'

Why yes, we do hunger for Tyranny, Dictatorship, and Despotism! More! Faster! Who need free discourse and consensus among the different factions? That is so old fashioned. Our betters know what is best for us!

McCarthy, you slut!
Name one Federal Government "investment" (forced net-Taxpayer waste) in the last 40 years, that has not made matters Worse!

Remember the "progressive" total FAIL series on TV called "Kid Nation?"

Few people have yet to realize that it re-emerged, after sinking out of sight, in California and a few other large states, and in the Federal government!

It took me a while to realize the cause of total dysfunction...

A Yamaha? That’s sad. If you going full butch, a V-rod seams more appropriate. ...or a flying carpet.

Rather than debating climate crap, she’d much rather be holding a clipboard and deciding who should stand next to the open pit.
