Good piece. The arrogance of the ‘Globull Warmers’ never ceases to amaze me!

Do they ever stand under a black, starry sky at night and contemplate their insignificance in regard to the planet? To the Universe?

Nope. I didn’t think so. :)

A nice lawsuit ala the Scopes Monkey Trial can put Global Warming on the Witness Stand. The burden of proof would be on the Gore crowd.

Now that humans have been declared to produce “pollution” with every breath, can they forbid us to breathe?

“Comrade citizen: you have surpassed your allotted CO2 production levels. We will now wrap your head in plastic bags and duct tape, to save the planet.”

If we succeed in removing co2 from the enviornment ,does that mean we will all starve because nothing will grow ?
Or will we all just drop dead from holding our breath

“Comrade citizen: you have surpassed your allotted CO2 production levels.”

It is just a matter of time until we will be taxed on how much air we consume breathing, cap-and-trade at the personal level.

It’s just a matter of extending the legal principle.

The same way that “drug kingpin” laws concerning asset forfeiture are now used to legally steal cash from Ma and Pa Kettle on the way to an auction.

This is the ultimate Tenth Amendment issue. When combined with the ever-elastic Commerce and Welfare Clauses, government has now cast off all the chains of the Constitution and inverted the relationship between it and the citizen.

This power grab and thievery are based on a hoax. Are all of our congressmen promoting the hoax? Is there nothing the voters can do about this planned oppression? We need to be able to sue our congressmen for misrepresentation.

The consequences will effect everyone. Right now, they are putting forth a comforting myth that *the poor* will be subsidized and only *the rich* will suffer. At some point, when there are no jobs but government jobs, no food but government rations, no freedom for anyone not a member of The Party, there will either be a counter-coup, lawsuits (if our Judiciary is still functioning constitutionally), mass rebellion of either the civil disobedience or violent kind.

Nothing will end this until it fails of its own arrogance and stupidity. Cold, hungry, enslaved people have very little left to lose.

There is nothing that we can do...

“The White House has said would prefer for Congress to pass a bill that caps carbon emissions and requires companies to acquire permits to release carbon into the atmosphere.

However, the EPA finding would allow possible tougher regulatory action if Congress fails to act.”

In other words if Congress doesn’t act the EPA will....

Cap and trade is full-scale thievery based on a hoax, and there is nothing we can do? There has got to be something voters can do to stop the madness of the cap and trade hoax.

That’s coming I’m sure.

Which is why everyone that buys into this nonsense should participate in a “Save the Planet” movement and off themselves to save the planet.

They should put up or shut up!
