How dare you question the orthodoxy of man-created climate change? Subject him to the hydrogen fuel cell auto da fe.

I just sent this to Reid and my 2 Colorado Senators:

NO on S. 3036!!
America’s Climate Security Act is a FRAUD!!!!

There is NO legislation or behavior by mankind that is capable of impacting “America’s Climate” or ANY climate on earth!

This mindless scare tactic is a mechanism to tax and control American citizens and transfer America’s wealth to other countries.

CO2 is NOT a pollutant!
CO2 is not even close to being a dominant “greenhouse gas”.

Water vapor comprises over 90% of the earth’s “greenhouse gases”, and there are too many variables for today’s best scientists, with today’s best software algorithms and computers, to ACCURATELY model the variables contributing to the levels of atmospheric water vapor.

CO2 comprises less than 4% of the earth’s “greenhouse gases” and man’s contribution is a VERY small fraction of that amount. (less than 3% of that 4%)

Furthermore, atmospheric CO2 levels do NOT precede global temperature increases!
In fact CO2 levels TRAIL global temperature levels by 800 years!

The fact is that there has been NO GLOBAL TEMERATURE RISE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!!!!!

They’re just drooling over the prospect of carbon credit trading.

start buying carbon futures, I guarantee you’ll end up making tons of money off of stupid people. Although if things get too out of hand the massive amounts of money you make will only be worth hundreds of todays dollars which might buy a months worth of groceries if your lucky.

What they should be saying is the reaction to the hype of global warming may destroy civilization.

IMO, there’s a 90/10 chance that Liberals will destroy America and freedom in the next four years. I would spend more energy on that disaster!!!

There is a 100% chance that this global warming, cap and trade, bill S. 3036, will destroy this civilization if it becomes law. It will cripple industry and our economy.

This is socialism which has always destroyed civilizations including that of the Soviet Union. It’s scary that both Obama and McCain (McAmnesty, McCain-Feingold) are for this bill.

Are the American people really going to let these politicians destroy the greatest country ever, our country, America?

British ninnies throwing a hissy fit. 30 years ago they’d have been members of Monty Python. These days they’re members of the global warming cult.

I am far more worried about Global Warming alarmists destroying civilization with their moronic schemes. They are far more likely to take us into the dark ages by ensuring basics like energy and food become unaffordable. Of course, perhaps their end goal IS a return to the dark ages—with the UN bureaucracy as the Lords and the rest of us as the serfs.

From what I’ve seen, humans will destroy civilization before climate change does.

>>He said it was politically ‘doable’.

These people are complete idiots.

Did anyone bother to ask anyone with an ounce of technical and economic acumen? No?

We are so screwed.

The global warming hoax is just plain ridiculous. The globalist lefties are hoping they can destroy the sovreignty of the United States with a "supranational body". They can go straight to hell with that idea. That is a declaration of war upon our freedom. It will be answered as such.
