[pp. S1742-3]

By Mr. SCHUMER (for himself, Mr. Carper, Mr. Reed, Mr. Van
Hollen, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Markey, Mr. Schatz, Ms. Smith, Mr.
Blumenthal, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr. Booker, Ms. Stabenow, Ms.
Klobuchar, Ms. Hassan, Mr. Merkley, and Mrs. Feinstein):
S. 729. A bill to prohibit the use of funds to Federal agencies to
establish a panel, task force, advisory committee, or other effort to
challenge the scientific consensus on climate change, and for other
purposes; read the first time.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of
the bill be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be
printed in the Record, as follows:

S. 729

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS TO CHALLENGE
SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

No amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to a
Federal agency (as defined in section 1004 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6903) and including the Executive
Office of the President) may be used to establish or operate
a panel, task force, other advisory committee, or other
effort intended to challenge the scientific consensus on
climate change, as presented in the assessment required under
section 106 of the Global Change Research Act of 1990 (15
U.S.C. 2936).

I've been interested in energy/environment policy since shortly before the days when global cooling risk of sulfate emissions from power plants became widely publicized. I chose nuclear power as a career during college in the 1970s, and when the internet opened up for .com domains in the early 1990s, I registered nuclear.com to use as my email address. When I eventually opened up a website at that domain, energy and environment continued to be of interest. After GW Bush was elected, he chose a couple of cabinet members who were quite enthusiastic about pushing for CO2 emissions trading system. It was then that I decided it was time to learn more about the science underlying the CO2-climate alarm. Being self-employed, I had the freedom to choose how to spend my time, and I chose to spend it studying the climate science journals. I also participated in the USENET newsgroup sci.environment and joined a Yahoo! group called ClimateSceptics. It didn't take me long to conclude that CO2-climate alarmism included much exaggeration and other lies. I wanted nuclear power's lack of CO2 emissions to be a big advantage for my industry, but I didn't want it enough to empower the liars, who I figured would come after my industry if they were successful in demonizing CO2. S.729 is not just unwise, it is another stonewalling defense of shoddy science.

They should just ban funds for climate change altogether. Afterall Obama says that the science is settled.

If GlobullClimateWarmingChange wasn’t #FakeScience there would be no need for fascistic censorship laws to prevent studies of the climate that didn’t blindly agree with it.

Usually seeing Schumer pushing a Bill is enough to trigger my gag reflex, but muzzling real Climate Science debunking Warming/Wealth Seizure and Redistribution, is a nuclear vomit hurler!

The key is Scientific Consensus.

Do a research survey of legitimate climate studies and if there is not a majority for Climate Warming...then game on.

Fascinating. Unless someone had fear, while would they write a law to block an investigation?

Galileo faced the same inquistion in his time, with his questioning "settled science" on the relationship of the Earth to the Sun.
The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was "foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture" — Wikipedia

Democrats are like locust eating everything thing in their path as Republicans sidestep to make it easier for them.
Is it time to go Galt? Or to lock n load?

To: Steve Schulin; All
The senators indicated in the OP are respectfully reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to police, tax and spend in the name of environmental issues. So PDJT’s policy on unconstitutional, politically correct federal climate change funding was at least a step towards compliance with the fed’s constitutionally limited powers.

I have to agree, the GOP in general, is USELESS.

Trump gets it, but the party in general, í totally, totally cowed.

Completely.

Get involved over on Twitter.

Scott Adams (https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays) is teaming up with Mark Schneider (https://twitter.com/subschneider), a former Navy officer on nuclear submarines, to promote Generation IV nuclear power plants.

It's pretty exciting.
