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.
Energy supply wasn't scarce, it was just terribly expensive!
BTW, 34 deg Wednesday in Lakeland, Florida, breaking a nearly 60 year record low. 37 deg yesterday, breaking a 40 year low. Global warming my a$$!
What you say is totally true and logical, but "global warming" isn't about logic it is about religion. It is a splinter faith of government worship - the wholly irration belief that a. man is responsible for climatic cycles, and 2 that government can prevent these cycles from happening. Since it is an irrational belief to start with, those who disagree with high priest owlwhore aren't expressing a contrary (and factually supported) viewpoint, they're blaspheming.
Still you could be right, but the arrogance spewing out of Obama's mouth on "sharing the wealth" when he never did anything to create any, and the equally arrogant and willfully ignorant positions of the other top Democrats toward the laws of economics do not give me much optimism. "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience" and nothing that has come out of the national democratic party in the last couple of decades has given me any cause for optimism.
These are not the watermelons I knew.
