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!
I would suggest that Exxon shut down its operations in West Virginia and Maine. Afterall, that would reduce greenhouse gases by almost 4% nationwide.

Senator...on the other hand, go screw yourself
BTTT
XOM should just move their Corporate HQs to Hong Kong to show these idiots once and for all.
"This is amazing stuff. On the one hand, the Senators say that everyone agrees on the facts and consequences of climate change. But at the same time they are so afraid of debate that they want Exxon ...."
Yep, note the words "climate change" instead of global warming. Even I have to agree there is going to be climate change.
We don't know what the weather will be next week. There is no sense of history here. My folks on the farm experienced several seasons of a series of dry and wet years on the farm.
I wish these filthy rich globalonies would come clean and just tell the American people by how much they plan to reduce their standard of living in the name of protecting the earth from global warming. The bottom line is that certain things will be taxed out of existence for some, while the rich blithely pay surcharges and life for them goes on as usual. There will no sacrifice on their part.
