Since when has any political issue EVER stood on its merits? No child left behind, prescription drug bailout, gun control, ethanol as a motor fuel, the list is endless. NOTHING that comes from washington (or any of the state capitols too for that matter) ever has any merit except for some special groups that get to swill at the government trough at the taxpayers' expense.
Thankfully, we happen to be in a natural cyclical cooling period right now,
How can you tell a cooling cycle from a random fluctuation?
so perhaps we can get lucky and this Global Warming nonsense can be put to bed, once and for all.
Don't I wish, but the greasy haired hippy freaks and room temerature IQ soccer moms, and the dishonest academic "intellectuals" who make up the constituency for this nonsense are either too stupid or too dishonest to be convinced by facts. Look for it to surface again after Jan 20.
I don’t think there is going to be a big political buy-in on Global Warming in January. People got a taste of the economic impact of scarce energy last Summer, and they did not like it one little bit. It is undeniable now that when Global Warming freaks are peddling CO2 emissions reductions, they are really peddling Worldwide recession and depression. This is a hard sell, to say the least.
Of course, the Democrats owe the Global Warming freaks big. But I have great confidence that they will be able to look them in the eye and say “I don’t know you” when the political price of going along is too high.
If the current trend in the east continues they'll have to dig it out of the snow for it to resurface in January.
It's a balmy 19F and blowing stink out of the NW here atop the Cumberland Plateau this morning.
Bundle up, Tennessee is sending you Georgians an early Christmas "present" this morning. You should receive it by this afternoon. The Canadians sent it to us, so we're being neighborly and sending in on to you. Kinda like that fruitcake everybody keeps passing around every year....
