Boxer Pledges to Use Live Earth Momentum to Push Climate Action By Nathan Burchfiel CNSNews.com Staff Writer July 06, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - The chairman of the Senate's primary environmental body on Friday praised former Vice President Al Gore's work in organizing the July 7 Live Earth concert series and renewed a pledge to push global warming legislation through Congress.

"It is a momentous occasion when two billion people are joined together by a common issue and by a common goal," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said in a conference call with reporters. "This is an issue that challenges us as the human race to set aside whatever our differences are and save our home, which is the planet Earth."

Boxer said "people all over the world understand that action on global warming is needed now" and pledged to use momentum from the Live Earth events to use the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee to present legislative solutions to climate change issues, most notably emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas most often blamed for climate change.

Live Earth will comprise eight concerts around the world aimed at raising awareness about climate change. The concerts will be heavily televised by NBC and its affiliates.

Gore has become a leading proponent of the view that global warming is human-induced and that, unchecked, it will have catastrophic consequences for the planet. His movie on the subject, "An Inconvenient Truth," won the Academy Award for best documentary this year.

Gore’s Woodcrock. 24 hours of peace, love, and complete loss of common sense all over the world. But as everything else in gore’s loser life, I predict some calamitous, hilarious, and completely humiliating event to happen. The Karma Gods are gearing up for another gorefest. They love to screw with his mind.

“Boxer is a real B*tch and I hate that she and Feinstein are my U.S. Senators.”

We are in the same boat. Durbin, Obama and Rahm Emanuel are my Senators and House Representative. I too hate it.

Prayers for your son and the rest of your family. You all are in my thoughts.

She should be worried about the Quake that is going to destroy all she holds dear. The consequences of global warming pale in comparison to the quake that will take all she has.

Boxer is no simpleton...

she is a calculating evil woman.

The media, gov’t and Big Businesses want a one world gov’t. The few control the masses...

If I want to sell you a new engine in your car, or a new water filter system for your home- I first have to convince you that there is a problem.

The big Lib foundations create teams to do studies....heavily funded teams...to create reports of problems....so then the gov’t can come in and “save us.”

flame me if you want- but it is time we stop talking Dem vs Repub.

We have seen that the RHINO’s are just as guilty...and I know for a fact that there are Dems furious with their own party as well....

It is truly the Elite vs Freedom.....they use the Dem vs Repub to keep us distracted on fighting amidst each other, instead of us joining and fighting them....

You can tear me to shred today...righ now....but down the road...I will get to say “I told you so.”

I would rather NOT! I would rather we start joining together as cosnervatives...as Americans, and start fighting the REAL enemy....

The elites!

The only Incumbent I think worth returning to DC is Coburn.

others have potential..but NOT my trust.

We are holding up the best we can considering all the negative news these days. Too many of this country’s so called leaders are capitulating to the polls and abandoning the President and our troops. Very discouraging and causes me much anger.

I have been discouraged/angry/disappointed since November 2006. Some days I am just so very annoyed. Luckily I have a new dog to take care of....I named him Hero (probably subconsciously thinking of all our Troopers!).

I was going to name him Montrose (where I found him Easter weekend), but the Vet had 10 dogs named Montrose and asked me to come up with another name on the spot. She was just giving Hero a rabies shot. He was shaking and looking into my eyes so trustingly. He got the shot, he yelped and did not bite me. Had he bitten me, who knows, his name might be FU. ;)

That bit about your vet asking you to come up with a new name is funny. I wouldn’t think there would be that many dogs with that particular name seeing the same vet. Hero works, and I like it.

I was taken aback. What was weird, when I got Hero neutered, a lady next to me found her pup on Montrose and Cicero (about 3 miles west of me on Montrose). It seems for some reason many dogs are found along Montrose.
