WASHINGTON As Congress begins to debate climate change in earnest, the science is taking a back seat to economics: How much will it cost to slow the Earth's warming because of man-made pollution and what's the cost of doing nothing?
With a key House committee starting four days of hearings, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., vowed to get a climate bill approved this year. Noting that Earth Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, she told reporters by the next Earth Day "we want to celebrate what we've done this year" to address climate change and clean energy.
But the challenge of getting bipartisan support immediately became apparent.

Global warming is a myth, a fantasy and a fraud. The liberals are going to use it as an excuse to exercise more government control over our lives.

I still ROTFLMAO when I see these words.
Sorry. (gasp)
I wonder what type of footprint the Reichstag fire left?
A lie. All this really means is "America".
The point seems to be we could buy a powerful lot of cure for all this “prevention” is going to cost us.
Only GOD can make a tree!
Once they figure that out they will come to their senses about man caused "Warming/Cooling".

How much will it cost to warm the Earth from global cooling?
Nope, science is taking a back seat to politics professing scientific evidence when just the opposite is proven by factual evidence. Opinions and computer models are not consistent with the facts.
NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It will not cost a dime because it's NOT happening.
The earth has been cooling for the last decade. Are liberals nuts?
“...the science is taking a back seat to economics”
Good.
In theory, that is. They could just as easily use bad economics as good, I guess.
I guess the drooling fools that wrote this can't see the thermometer. Hey guys, the weather has been cooling for a decade. The more shrill these global warming alarmists become, the more the public sees through their propaganda. That's why only 35% of the population believe them. Science is taking a backseat to politics, not economics.
