You would think these geniuses would have these demonstrations when it’s real hot out. But what do I know....

Nine Cent Nan wouldn't go for that.

My guess is these jerkwads didn’t even notice the cold and snow, given the natural warmth of the orifice in which their heads are generally found.

Dang! I’m black and blue from falling out of my chair at these guys and their ridiculous antics. (Well, they say laughter is the best medicine, and I have been feeling kind of puny lately, anyway...)

The plant has been seized as a symbol of the government's energy excess, and the 99-year-old facility accounts for a third of the legislative branch's greenhouse gas emissions.

The other two thirds comes from within the legistlaive branch's facility.

Thanks for posting the article.

The plant has been seized as a symbol of the government's energy excess, and the 99-year-old facility accounts for a third of the legislative branch's greenhouse gas emissions.

The other two/thirds come from the members of the legislative branches.

Nothing short of glaciers descending across the northern Unites States will convince these clowns that the whole global warming thing is a fraud. These people have a religious belief and no amount of evidence will convince them that they are wrong.

The economy is in an impossible tailspin. The markets have spoken. 20% unemployment is around the corner.

Putting through a massive energy tax now would be suicide. All the while, the majority of the public suspects warming is due to natural causes and that taxes won’t fix things anyway.

As it is, we are likely headed for massive CO2 reductions anyway due to a collapse in economic output, just like the old Soviet Union.

The cold snap just brings home the absurdity for the whole country.

GW policy doesn’t have a snowball’s chance.

GORE HEARING ON WARMING MAY BE PUT ON ICE

Mon Jan 26 2009 17:59:26 ET

Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the 'urgent need' to combat global warming.

But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.

A 'Winter Storm Watch' has been posted for the nation's capitol and there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations.

"I can't imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside," a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. "And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel."

A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans.

Global warming advocates have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change.

March 7, 2007 --- A Congressional subcommittee meeting on Energy and Air Quality Hearing on "Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?" was cancelled due to a snow advisory. "A SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE PRIMARILY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING."

Recall that greenhouse hypothesis maintains that warming due to increases in the greenhouse effect is anticipated to be greatest in the winter.

Personally, I think it is darn right funny that these sorts of events keep having weather problems. God does indeed have a sense of humor.

Now, with that being said, and I mean this with all seriousness. If these protesters feel so strongly about global warming and power consumption then I think that they should do more than stand up and protest for their beliefs. I believe they should also LIVE them. Be it voluntarily or not. Remove their homes from the power and water grids. Let them figure out how to keep warm in the dark. Let them figure out how to stay cool when the temperature and humidity is at killing temperatures.

Let them go to a well if they have one and pump their own water and then carry it back home for their usage. It isn’t as much fun to live like you are camping when it is your daily way of life.

We live the way we do because our ancestors, Grand-parents, parents wanted to live a more easy kind of life than their fore-bearers did.
