Cap & Tax is designed to destroy our economy, leading to further consolidation of power at the White House, trashing the Constitution, and full conversion to socialism. Obama would like to be Der Fuhrer.
Everyone had better write to your Congressmorons fast, and let them know you oppose Obama on this and every other plan to destroy freedom.
We need to keep repeating
It’s really:
Cap and TAX
Cap and TAX
Cap and TAX
It’s NOT
Cap and trade
typical liberal wordplay, like the employee “free choice” act or “free” healthcare
Cap and Tax

My rep thinks it’s a great idea.
I am not represented. (deby wastedman sholtz)
Tell your Rep that this is the end of the road for his / her pol career.
Then get busy.

Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open
winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost
total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson,
makes the question pertinent. The older inhabitants tell us that the
Winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all
observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last
decade. - New York Times June 23, 1890
The Oceanographic observations have, however, been even more
interesting. Ice conditions were exceptional. In fact, so little ice
has never been noted. The expedition all but established a
record….Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society - January 1905
“Fifth ice age is on the way…..Human race will have to fight for its
existence against cold.” – Los Angles Times October 23, 1912
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in
some places the seals are finding the water too hot.... Reports from
fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a
radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of
temperatures in the Arctic zone... Great masses of ice have been
replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while
at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very
few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while
vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured
so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. -
Washington Post 11/2/1922
Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada, Professor Gregory of
Yale University stated that “another world ice-epoch is due.” He was
the American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress and
warned that North America would disappear as far south as the Great
Lakes, and huge parts of Asia and Europe would be “wiped out.” –

A mysterious warming of the climate is slowly manifesting itself in
the Arctic, engendering a “serious international problem,” - May 30,

Greenland’s polar climate has moderated so consistently that
communities of hunters have evolved into fishing villages. Sea
mammals, vanishing from the west coast, have been replaced by codfish
and other fish species in the area’s southern waters. - August 29,

After a week of discussions on the causes of climate change, an
assembly of specialists from several continents seems to have reached
unanimous agreement on only one point: it is getting colder. - New

Col. Bernt Balchen, polar explorer and flier, is circulating a paper
among polar specialists proposing that the Arctic pack ice is
thinning and that the ocean at the North Pole may become an open sea
within a decade or two. – New York Times - February 20, 1969
The United States and the Soviet Union are mounting large-scale
investigations to determine why the Arctic climate is becoming more
frigid, why parts of the Arctic sea ice have recently become
ominously thicker and whether the extent of that ice cover
contributes to the onset of ice ages. – New York Times - July 18, 1970

The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will
undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve
to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. — Paul
Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)
Get a good grip on your long johns, cold weather haters—the worst may
be yet to come. That’s the long-long-range weather forecast being
given out by “climatologists.” the people who study very long-term
world weather trends…. Washington Post January 11, 1970
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct.
Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the

“In the next 50 years fine dust that humans discharge into the
atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the
sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six
degrees. Sustained emissions over five to 10 years, could be
sufficient to trigger an ice age.” – Washington Post - July 9, 1971
New Ice Age Coming-—It’s Already Getting Colder. Some midsummer day,
perhaps not too far in the future, a hard, killing frost will sweep
down on the wheat fields of Saskatchewan, the Dakotas and the Russian
steppes…..Los Angles Times Oct 24, 1971
“There is very important climatic change (Global Cooling) going on
right now, and it’s not merely something of academic interest. It is
something that, if it continues, will affect the whole human
occupation of the earth – like a billion people starving. The effects
are already showing up in a rather drastic way.” – Fortune Magazine

“Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive,
for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of
another ice age” – Time Magazine June 24, 1974
A number of climatologists, whose job it is to keep an eye on long-
term weather changes, have lately been predicting deterioration of
the benign climate to which we have grown accustomed….Various
climatologists issued a statement that “the facts of the present
climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign
near certainty to major crop failure in a decade,” If policy makers
do not account for this oncoming doom, “mass deaths by starvation and
probably in anarchy and violence” will result. New York Times -

Regardless of long term trends, such as the return of an Ice Age,
unsettled weather conditions now appear more likely than those of the
abnormally favorable period which ended in 1972. – Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society - October 10, 1975
A RECENT flurry of papers has provided further evidence for the
belief that the Earth is cooling. There now seems little doubt that
changes over the past few years are more than a minor statistical
fluctuation – Nature - March 6, 1975
Scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance
signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. The central fact
is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild
conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down.
Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling
trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather
conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend
will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. –
The Cooling World Newsweek, April 28, 1975
“Scientist ponder why World’s Climate is changing; a major cooling is
considered to be inevitable – New York Times May 21, 1975
This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If
it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world
famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about
before the year 2000. — Lowell Ponte “The Cooling”, 1976
An international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes
of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the
last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. - New York Times -

One of the questions that nags at climatologists asks when and how
fast a new ice age might descend. A Belgian scientist suggests this
could happen sooner and swifter than you might think. - Christian
Science Monitor - Nov 14, 1979
Evidence has been presented and discussed to show a cooling trend
over the Northern Hemisphere since around 1940, amounting to over 0.5°
C, due primarily to cooling at mid- and high latitudes - Bulletin of
the American Meteorological Society - November 1980
A global warming trend could bring heat waves, dust-dry farmland and
disease, the experts said... Under this scenario, the resort town of
Ocean City, Md., will lose 39 feet of shoreline by 2000 and a total

By 2000, British and American oil will have dimished to a
trickle......Ozone depletion and global warming threaten food
shortages, but the wealthy North will enjoy a temporary reprieve by
buying up the produce of the South. Unrest among the hungry and the
ensuing political instability, will be contained by the North’s
greater military might. A bleak future indeed, but an inevitable one
unless we change the way we live.....At present rates of exploitation
there may be no rainforest left in 10 years. If measures are not
taken immediately, the greenhouse effect may be unstoppable in 12 to
15 years. - 5000 Days to Save the Planet - Edward Goldsmith 1991

NOAA announced its predictions for the 2006 hurricane season, saying
it expects an “above normal” year with 13-16 named storms. Of these
storms, the agency says it expects four to be hurricanes of category
3 or above, double the yearly average of prior seasons in recorded
history. With experts calling the coming hurricane season potentially
worse than last year’s, oil prices have jumped 70 cents per barrel in
New York and made similar leaps elsewhere. Economists anticipate that
demand for oil will rise sharply over the summer, when as many as
four major hurricanes could hit the United States. — Seed Magazine

Thats kinda easy to do, you know.....but still fun.
You wanna condemn Chinese and Indian women to washing their own clothes and dishes, a life of drudgery, don’t you want them to have washers and dishwashers.....or should they wash their clothes and dishes in the local river...
BrainLock. Environmentalism runs into Feminism.
You drink water outta plastic bottles....then shut up!
Newt was supposed to be there with Gore and Warner.
Did I hear right that the Dems voted he not appear with Gore?
Anyone fill me in.
There is a repot on Drudge that the Republicans invited Lord Monckton, whou has totally trashed Gore's movie, to testifay alongside Gore. His plane got here yesterday and he was told that the Democrats would not allow him to testify.
I just called Harry Reid’s office and asked who they voted not to appear with Gore at these hearing and they told me it was Newt.
I said “Well, wouldn’t you call that socialism”>
He said he would let the Senator know that I wasn’t for Cap and Tax.
Just heard Gore say that the snow on the Himalayans could be gone in a decade.
Unbelievable.
Just because the DemonCraps Minions don’t understand cap and trade doesn’t mean that “Intelligent” people (Republicans) don’t know exactly what it is.
How stupid does Mr Dingle (ling) think his people are? Obviously - Pretty stupid.
