BS
Beebe is sucking up to Washington for a handout.
Beebe says??? Oh, well then. I believe it.
Actually I believe that someone stuned that Beebe.
(Sorry. It had to be said.)
I think people are going to get beyond mad about this crap. They’d better.
AR=Arkansas, AK=Alaska
I think all these idiot politicians get a private showing of how big an intravenous tube they can insert into their taxpayers if they accept the global warming premise. Probably, it isn’t too hard of a sell.
Beebe is a joax.
The bigger the lie....
And globull warming is a whopper.
Gee, and there’s no indication of which political party Governor Beebe belongs to. Could he be with the “Silly Party?”
Then again, there’s “global warming” and there’s “man-made global warming”. Big difference.
To show the fallacy of their argument, ask to see ONE scientific study showing AGW. Don’t hold your breath for an answer, you won’t get even one study never name a scientifically performed study. Not ONE.
Personally, I think it should be done state-by-state so that any Governor who is persuasive enough to convince his dolt voters to go along with the hoax is free to punish them without injuring anyone else. Then the remainder of the population who are not zombies are free to vote with their feet by moving to a saner state.
I hate to sound tedious, but where in the Constitution does it say that the Federal government should regulate climate? It is not their mission, nor their role.
A state can try a carbon tax, but it will hurt them compared to other states. Another way to say this, is that reality will strike them sooner than with a nationwide tax, which will only hurt the whole country in competition with the rest of the world.
I like the questioner’s phrase referring to a a carbon tax as something designed to get “the companies” to act in a certain way. Of course, the customers will pay the tax. Already, companies are caving on this issue, because it really makes little difference to them. Many of them line up with their own “green” advertisements, which is a way of kow-towing to the politicians.
The headline made me cheer, though. How often do you see even the slightest acknowledgement that there isn’t a “consensus” on global warming?
Their defensiveness means that, in spite of the media, we are getting heard.
Bebee belongs in the same crowd as those insisted there were witches and the sun and planets revolve around the earth despite scientific proof that they were not true.
At first I thought Netanyahu had lost his mind.
Sign of progress.
We now have them saying it is not a hoax.
A sure sign that it is.
Record snowfalls for all time here in the NW. Think how reassuring it is that we’re not undergoing disaster scenarios of global cooling. Imagine the hysteria in the press.
But since the going hysteria is warming, not a word in the papers about the effect of paralyzing snows.
Sigh. Gotta get out and shovel the walks.
Politicians. “we’ll let them build new $1.5 billion coal fired power plants. We just won’t let them operate”.
A good start on breaking the coal based power industry.
I say fire it anyhow. Hire a well armed security force to protect it from government thugs. And lets play chess.
Resistance is not just an electrical term.
"The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."
"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."
"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."
