WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's determined efforts to combat global warming face their biggest trial yet as Republicans take full control of Congress this week. The GOP vows to move fast and forcefully to roll back his environmental rules and force his hand on energy development.

The GOP's first order of business: the Keystone XL pipeline. The Republican-led House has repeatedly passed legislation to approve the pipeline, which would carry tar sands oil from Canada deep into the United States. The bills died in the Senate when Democrats were in control, but that will change Wednesday when a Republican-led Senate committee holds a Keystone hearing.

I hope they do, but I have been disappointed by the GOP so many times.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

If the now majority Senate and House do not demonstrate
through legislation and deeds their total opposition to this
AGW bull shit and put a stop to all the crap that has come
to past over the past some ten years plus, EPA going haywire,
others such as the DOE, you got the picture. I just might stop
risk getting mugged and going to the voting booth to vote.

Aside of that Ernie. Happy new years. May HIS favor be found
in you and provide you a multitude of blessings in 2015.
Time to retire for me. In a few hours the snow shall start
to fall in Philly. Chores shall await such as food shopping.
Hang in there. George

Notice that the Associated Press refers to the Republicans efforts as a threat. They can’t hide the bias can they

You can witness Climate Change Fraud as it happens. Find a thermometer near you and read the temprature. Then pull out your smartphone and check the Weather App.

I will bet you dollars to donuts that the Weather App gives you a temperature at least 2 Degrees F higher than the thermometer in front of your own eyes. The Weather App is based on the “official” reading of a nearby weather monitoring station, and this is fed into the models on Global Warming.

The fraud is happening on the lowest level. The data inputted is garbage.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

" that will change Wednesday when a Republican-led Senate committee holds a Keystone hearing.

Not really, Senator Durbin just threw a monkey wrench into those plans by objecting to the meeting. Apparently it takes "Unanimous Consent" to hold this meeting. The 'Rats are clearly going to be doing everything to stop the Republicans.

"Republican leadership has given Obama EVERY SINGLE THING he has wanted over the past 6 years"

You mean by unanimously voting AGAINST Obamacare?

"Yahoo News, January 6, 2015:"The move toward "dynamic scoring" is part of a package of new rules that passed today on a 234-172 party-line vote as the new Republican-controlled Congress started its work."

Think about that before giving ME your snarky, holier than thou retort.

Right.

They also said they were going to get rid of Boehner, defund Obamacare and stop Amnesty.

Where I come from actions speak louder than words.

Where you clearly come from people move their lips while they read.

They need a massive army of idiots proping them up - thank you for your support.

When you loose an argument on the facts, I guess you attempt to insult your opponent with an incomplete sentence?

If you don’t like my abuse, you can stop posting to me.

Since you won’t stop though, you’ll take it and like it.
