DOHERTY: NEW SCIENTIFIC DATA JUSTIFIES REPEALING GLOBAL WARMING RESPONSE ACT
URGES STATE TO HOLD OFF ON DAMAGING NEW REGULATIONS AS CLIMATE CHANGE THEORIES CLASH
Responding to various new scientific reports questioning the concept of global warming, Assemblyman Michael Doherty today called on Governor Corzine to hold off on proposing any new regulations associated with the state’s Global Warming Response Act and urged the Legislature to repeal that act when it returns to legislative business after Labor Day.
“There are many credible members of the scientific community who have questioned the theory of global warming, and now we have some scientists actually suggesting the earth’s temperatures may be entering a period of dramatic cooling,” said Doherty, R-Warren and Hunterdon. “With this growing level of scientific uncertainty, it makes no sense to enact a new set of economically damaging regulations prompted by the global warming hysteria of recent years.”

What’s the “carbon footprint” of Russian troops in Georgia? ;-)

It's beautiful thing for an environmentalist wacko to see how the politicians in NJ have passed a law that will drive out almost of the business, depopulate the state, return it to the beauty of the 16th century where basically it was completely rural and unsettled by 2060
Seriously, the bottom half of Jersey should secede. Take Trenton as a hostage city
Who are they going to tax?
Indeed.
Looks like we may have 20+ years of fairly sharp cooling ahead.
I don’t know about Russian boots, but there are only trace amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere. Recent data says 380 parts per milion. The Gorons talk about greenhouse gases as if there were hundreds of evil capitalist gases. In fact there are 3 kinds, including CO2. The most common is water vapor. Duh. And the third is methane, which comes from cow dung and politicians.
Climate is very poorly understood, even by experts in the field. What is known is that the sun warms the earth, and there are cycles of warming and cooling caused by the sun. Duh. So the idea of man-made global warming is horse manure. It is like a pagan religion practiced by ignorant cavemen.
AGW is the biggest and most expensive scam in history.
and give Camden to Philadelphia

Unless your A Democrat using someone else’s money, than the media will cover for you to cheat, lie, and waste....
Thank the Lord. Much more work to be done.
“New Jersey’s tax and regulatory climate is already chasing jobs from this state left and right and these new regulations will make matters worse,” Doherty said. “Rather than conforming our policies to questionable scientific theories, we should be looking at the concrete economic indicators that show our state’s economy is in trouble. And we should be taking steps to help people who are losing jobs and being forced out of their homes by this state’s anti-economic growth agenda – not making matters worse.”
Everything that moves, breaths or dies
Wait, they already do that :-)

Click here to hear some great audio from Meteorologist James Spann about Global Warming in a story from Business and Media Institute.
Lord Christopher Monckton has a great article talking about the hysteria known as global warming. Click here to enjoy.
Of course you should take care of the planet but should kids be indoctrinated with doom and gloom to help the cause? Check out this story from the Heartland Institute.
Remember the article about Global Cooling from Newsweek? If you don’t here it is to refresh your memory.
Global warming is natural and will end in 20 years says an Ohio State researcher.
A new poll shows that global warming isn’t as big of a problem to Americans.
Coldest summer ever in Alaska?
A great Op-Ed about the hysteria surrounding “Climate Change”.
Is being “green” losing steam?
Wind turbines are all the rage for alternative energy right now. What you may not know is the effect they could have on your health. Where’s Erin Brokovich when you need her?

Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered
By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
http://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/200807/monckton.cfm?renderforprint=1
Conclusion
Even if temperature had risen above natural variability, the recent solar Grand Maximum may have been chiefly responsible.
Even if the sun were not chiefly to blame for the past half-century’s warming, the IPCC has not demonstrated that, since CO2 occupies only one-ten-thousandth part more of the atmosphere that it did in 1750, it has contributed more than a small fraction of the warming.
Even if carbon dioxide were chiefly responsible for the warming that ceased in 1998 and may not resume until 2015, the distinctive, projected fingerprint of anthropogenic “greenhouse-gas” warming is entirely absent from the observed record.
Even if the fingerprint were present, computer models are long proven to be inherently incapable of providing projections of the future state of the climate that are sound enough for policymaking.
Even if per impossibilethe models could ever become reliable, the present paper demonstrates that it is not at all likely that the world will warm as much as the IPCC imagines.
Even if the world were to warm that much, the overwhelming majority of the scientific, peer-reviewed literature does not predict that catastrophe would ensue.
Even if catastrophe might ensue, even the most drastic proposals to mitigate future climate change by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide would make very little difference to the climate.
Even if mitigation were likely to be effective, it would do more harm than good: already millions face starvation as the dash for biofuels takes agricultural land out of essential food production: a warning that taking precautions, “just in case”, can do untold harm unless there is a sound, scientific basis for them.
Finally, even if mitigation might do more good than harm, adaptation as (and if) necessary would be far more cost-effective and less likely to be harmful.
In Jersey, he better find out if the pump and dump is in on the Environmental Stocks. If he’s too early, he’s compost. Just ask Nancy who transplanted to San Fran. BTW, How is T. Boondogle’s Wind Stock doing?
