Waxman to push global warming bill By Mike Soraghan Posted: 01/15/09 11:22 AM [ET]

Comprehensive global warming legislation will be sent to the House floor by Memorial Day, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) announced Thursday.

"Our committee will be acting quickly and decisively to reduce global warming and end our dependence on foreign oil," Waxman said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has indicated that reining in climate change is among her top priorities.

Let me be the first to congratulate Henry in bringing us rushing into the new Ice Age and the Age of Worthless Money!

Great timing. Its only -4F actual here in Indianapolis today. Any warmer and we might die from overheating.

I woke up the last 2 mornings with the temp at -20 degrees.

Are these guys completely off their rockers?

‘House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has indicated that reining in climate change is among her top priorities.’

I’m not sure which is the more staggering realization here.

The shear size of the arrogance, or the shear ignorance the Speaker appears to be revelling in.

It’s going to get better and better. Just looking at Waxman I know he is a genuine climate expert. Not.

They're going to do good just like they did with mortgages for those who couldn't afford them. You think the economies bad now, just wait.

Apparently Waxman hasn’t looked at the national weather map today. If we are at the crucial tipping point for a global warming catastrophe why are we seeing 60 and even 100 year old records for cold being shattered across the US and why have global temperatures declined for a decade?

“I woke up the last 2 mornings with the temp at -20 degrees.”

Whoa! It’s not as cold as that here in southwest Missouri, but it’s still cold (it was 2 this morning and 8 right now).

It is insane that these people still preach “global warming,” when most of our country is currently under a huge cold wave.

Horribly disfigured in a bill battle he now lives in the subterranean bowls under the Capitol keeping an eye on his ... accomplices!

Hell, imagine Waxman and Helen Thomas getting getting in proximity of each other, talk about ugly approaching critical mass.

This is good news. Try selling this to the American people when it’s been a record cold and the economy is in the dumps. In the end it will be the Democrats who give the Republicans issues. God knows the Republicans over the past 2+ years haven’t had any.
