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.

From what I hear of Sen. Babs Box-a-rox, it’s a ‘momentous occasion’ when she can construct and deliver a complete and coherent sentence.

This is the very definition of propaganda, where you develop an event or organize an institution to verify a claim, e.g. The 1939 Nuremberg Rally (evidence of a movement), the burning of the Reischstag, the Comintern.

Barbara (Bouncer) Boxer is so f-ing stupid it’s incredible. I can’t stand to hear her rant and rave on TV. I hope some day we Californians can get rid of her and Feinswine.

"It is a momentous occasion when two billion people are joined together by a common issue and by a common goal, to smoke enough dope and create enough trash to make us all feel like we are doing something important" Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said in a conference call with reporters.

There, fixed!

More legislative burden to live under according to Democrat Babs. Anticipate taxes to be raised as a part of her so called legislative solution.

Let's hope no one watches it. I'd like to see Babs Boxer "jump the shark!"
