New Senate to get major global warming bill
AFP ^ | Nov. 21, 2008 | AFP

Posted on 11/21/2008 10:33:25 PM PST by FocusNexus

The US Senate will take up two sweeping global warming bills in January, in the latest sign that Barack Obama's election could quickly reverse years of US footdragging on climate change.

Boxer, chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee, said one bill would combat harmful gas emissions by providing 15 billion dollars a year to spur clean energy innovation and the development of advanced biofuels.

The other piece of legislation will direct the US Environmental Protection Agency to set up a cap-and-trade system to stem greenhouse gas emissions.

Just what we need in an economic crisis... not to mention that there is mounting evidence that there is no global warming, or if there it is not caused by human activities, but any excuse is good enough for Democrats to finish destroying the US and its economy.

Global warming ping

“Obama has called for annual targets that would aim to reduce emission levels to 1990 levels by 2020 and then by an addition 80 percent by 2050.”

The Obama and Dem plan should be named “How to finish killing the US economy”

then by an addition 80 percent by 2050.

They won't be able to achieve those goals without emitting other gasses.... like Zyklon B.

That kind of reduction can only be achieved with a massively smaller population living without heat, transportation or technology.

I thought virtually every country has failed to meet their targets so far.

This is absolute madness to be even considering something like this especially during an economic downturn.

20% less energy followed by 80% less energy - doesn’t that equal no technology at all?

Precisely the case that someone should be making, but nobody has the ability or the balls to make on the national stage. For once, it's actually true: this is a tax that hits the poorest people the hardest.

Just in time to put the final, needless, bullet in the head of the economy.

You’re right. I don’t think I was being sarcastic this time. Putting dollars in Algore’s pocket with his “global warming” scam is really going to hurt these groups.

In the meantime, global warming, if there is such a thing, would allow us access to much more energy, but the enviro-idiots wants us to go back to the stone ages instead.

Global warming could lead to more Arctic energy

Maybe that's what his large civilian force is tasked to enforce.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081119120155.htm

A detailed analysis of black carbon — the residue of burned organic matter — in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions.
