"Washington has no shortage of bullies, but even we can't quite believe an October 27 letter that Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe sent to ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Its message: Start toeing the Senators' line on climate change, or else.

Global warming by decree - amazingly blatant.

Global Warming is a hoax.

Socialists are always looking for a way to control others, and what better way than controlling the entire Earth?

Because the GOP is leaderless, corrupt and useless, it will take a grassroots effort to interrupt and discredit the One-Worlders.

Freepers - GET BUSY!

"On the one hand, the Senators say that everyone agrees on the facts and consequences of climate change."

A lie right there.

ExxonMobil is not alone in jeopardizing the credibility and stature of the United States.

The democrats don't want the competition.

This is scary.

Anthropogenic global warming is a great distraction from political failures. Emotionally, it can be fanned to a far greater fire than illegal aliens or the WOT, so long as the MSM play along and suppresses or exaggerates appropriately, and thereby focus Americans away from real issues that might otherwise spell the doom of these GW politicians. They'll gladly sacrifice their country for a cushy career opportunity.

Have the Global Warming Chicken Littles come up with an explanation for how we can be causing global warming on Mars?

Rockefeller b!tching about Exxon-Mobil? That's ironic.

Rockefeller's great-grandfather started Standard Oil. Standard Oil = Esso (SO) = Exxon = Exxon-Mobil.

The dirty blood money leads to the Senator's own door. What is Senator Rockefeller doing holding onto the blood money from a company he accuses of destroying the planet? What is Senator trust-fund doing with his own Exxon dollars to spread the word? Why does he keep the filthy lucre?

Interesting. I guess these "Senators" haven't heard that global temperature measurements have shown a downward trend over the past three years - indicating that the solar cycle we have been in for the past few decades is coming to an end.

But, far be it for the MSM to publicize that fact. "Tell the lie, tell it often enough . . . . . "

Here's my favorite line: "Mainstream media outlets... [give] them relatively equal standing with legitimate scientists."

And what makes a scientist legitimate? Why, their belief in Global Warming! Any scientist who doesn't believe that Global Warming, is real, man-made, and going to cause Global Armageddon, cannot be called "legitimate." Therefore every legitimate scientist believes in Global Warming; and if every legitimate scientist agrees, then it must be real.

Here's a good time to bring back this wonderful version of a children's classic.

The globe is always warming or cooling; therefore, one has a 50 percent chance of being correct regardless of his position.

Senators:

Your credibility is already shot for multiple reasons;
1) You don't understand science at all,
2) You don't care that you don't understand it, since the politics use to promote bad science is your own,
3) You don't understand economics and think the American people are equally stupid!
4) The oil companies don't pay any taxes, the taxes are simply passed on to the consumers,
5) The only impact taxes have on oil companies is to disincentivize exploration!

ST. LOUIS - Frigid temperatures contributed to four deaths Sunday, pushing the toll from a devastating ice and snow storm to 19 as hundreds of thousands waited another day for their electricity to be restored.

Temperatures across much of the region were predicted to hover in the teens and 20s on Monday while wind chills should make it feel even colder, slowing down cleanup efforts, according to the
National Weather Service.

The storm disrupted Amtrak train service between Chicago and St. Louis, but most of those lines were expected to be up and running on Monday, the company said in a release.

As temperatures rose into the 20s, Tawana Jean Cooper and her family sat at a Red Cross warming center in St. Louis, which they reached a day earlier from her suburban home after roads were cleared of ice, downed power lines and broken tree limbs.

Her three young grandchildren joined her at the shelter.

"They know this is not home. They know this is a disaster," Cooper said as she cradled her sleeping 5-month-old granddaughter in her arms.

"The
American Red Cross has been a God's blessing," she said. About six dozen others also spent the night at the shelter.

Missouri National Guardsmen had been sent into the area to knock on doors and make sure people were safe. By early afternoon Sunday, the St. Louis temperature had reached only about 22 degrees, the National Weather Service said.

Two men, ages 37 and 35, died after they tried to burn coal in a cooking wok to stay warm. Fire officials found deadly levels of carbon monoxide in their home. A 56-year-old man may have suffered hypothermia, and an 81-year-old man was found dead at the bottom of his home's stairs.

"This is not over. As long as the power is still out, there are still people at risk," St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said.

Thursday's storm spread ice and deep snow from Texas to Michigan and then blew through the Northeast late Friday and early Saturday. Thousands of travelers were stranded by canceled flights, highways clogged by abandoned vehicles and stalled trains.

By Sunday afternoon, about 350,000 customers of St. Louis-based Ameren Corp. had no electricity in a roughly 300-mile swath from Jackson, Mo., northeast to Pontiac, Ill., paralleling the track of the storm. Spokeswoman Susan Gallagher said about 200,000 were in Missouri and about 150,000 in central and southern Illinois.

The utility said Sunday it would not estimate when power will be totally restored.

Trees throughout the region were glazed with a thick coat of ice that reflected the sunlight and also snapped tree limbs, bringing power lines down with them.

"It's slow," said Ameren repairman Bernie Kutz, after completing a job in south St. Louis. "The tools are freezing somewhat, and nothing wants to work right."

At the peak of the outages Friday, 510,000 customers were without power, Gallagher said. Hundreds of thousands also lost power in the other states hit by the storm.

In Peoria, Ill., fire officials urged homeowners to check their roofs after a nursing home ceiling collapsed, injuring four residents.

In Belleville, Ill., 20 miles east of St. Louis, most of the 100 cots at Westhaven Elementary School had been in use as a Red Cross shelter since noon Friday.

For much of the region, it was a reminder of the widespread outages caused by severe thunderstorms in July, when 948,000 in Missouri and Illinois were blacked out.

Still waiting for the esteemed Senators to tell me how Greenland got green, before it was an ice cube that it is today.

My guess, with the push to punish the U.S. population with global warming taxes, nothing will stop these lunatics.
