Maybe it’s me, but the predictable right-wing cries of outrage over the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rules on carbon seem oddly muted and unfocused. I mean, these are the people who managed to create national outrage over nonexistent death panels. Now the Obama administration is doing something that really will impose at least some pain on some people. Where are the eye-catching fake horror stories?
For what it’s worth, however, the attacks on the new rules mainly involve the three C’s: conspiracy, cost and China. That is, right-wingers claim that there isn’t any global warming, that it’s all a hoax promulgated by thousands of scientists around the world; that taking action to limit greenhouse gas emissions would devastate the economy; and that, anyway, U.S. policy can’t accomplish anything because China will just go on spewing stuff into the atmosphere.
I don’t want to say much about the conspiracy theorizing, except to point out that any attempt to make sense of current American politics must take into account this particular indicator of the Republican Party’s descent into madness. There is, however, a lot to say about both the cost and China issues....

Maybe he’s going to be the male version of the crazy cat lady?
The dude should just go away and welcome his alien invasion that he pines for so much.
[Okay searchers, find the sources of all the references I’m making!]
He is such a shill for the left Doesn’t he have any pride in his own thoughts ??
No smoking hot spot1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
From the idiot and his employer that accused Palin of being responsible for the Tucson massacre.
He is certified shat bit crazy.
“Paul’s stuff reads like satire.”
Yes John Semmens has stiff competition
as long as his paychecks keep rolling in, he can spout whatever he spouts
I know.
One can almost see him in his basement, petting a cat Bond villain style while muttering at the imaginary enemies in the shadows.

Yes, Dumb’O’s timing of the swap of the deserter for 5 terrorists worked like a charm in erasing all his other scandals and lawless acts from people’s mind.
I wonder what he’s going to do next to put this latest debacle in the back burner.
The only thing we can do to stop the constant flow of crap out of the WH is to proceed with impeachment proceedings. Otherwise we’re in for another 2.5 years of devastation to our military, our economy, and our foreign relations.
I have ceased to think that 0bama can’t stoop any lower than his last disgrace.
Scare-mongering. Just what they accused those pointing out the dangers of international Communism of doing.
Hysteria.
Power grabs.
Deceit.
The left aren't allowed to have their own thoughts.
When CPUSA told the Communists in America to oppose the US going to war against Hitler, they marched.
Like germs trying to infect Mr. Burns... There are so many scandals coming all at once they get stuck in the door.
