AN UNUSUALLY cold winter (it snowed in Saudi Arabia and Iraq; temperatures fell to minus 80 degrees in Siberia) has been followed by an unusually cool spring (it snowed in North Dakota in June for the first time in 60 years).
This may be why only 42 percent of respondents in a June Rasmussen poll published think human activity is causing global warming, and many who do don't see it as a serious problem. In a Gallup poll in March, warming ranked last among eight environmental concerns. To combat a problem which probably doesn't exist, the House narrowly passed last week a bill to restrict emissions of carbon dioxide.
Waxman-Markey contains unpleasant surprises for Americans, including a provision which could prevent homeowners from selling their homes if they aren't retrofitted to meet federal "green" guidelines. But the House passed the 1,400-page bill before its members had an opportunity to read it, much less ponder its implications. Let's pray the Senate is more responsible.

“many who do don’t see it as a serious problem.”
This is what I never understood.
What is so horrible about this “global warming”? What horrible thing was it really going to do to us, anyway? No-one ever even questioned this.
1 of the worst premises to me of this whole thing is that global “xxxxing” (warm or cool) is “bad”. I’m not convinced a general degree difference over a century is so scary.
Nothing that this earth hasn't lived through before.. This is just a bunch of junk science that the Algore types are using to scare the population that doesn't stay as informed as FReepers into ceding more and more of their freedom and money to the government and the favored few...
But then, they elected a Commie to the White (is saying that racist?) House.
This just goes to show you that Beffett isn't quite as smart as he thinks he is. For a guy that makes so much money you would think he would be smarter.
I guess this helps to prove the old saying of my grandfather. “Brains and money rarely go together.” That would explain most of Hollywood and Washington.
Thanks to 8 traitors posing as Republicans.
Republicans in every one of these disgusting, brain dead idiotic traitors electoral districts should spend every day from now to the day they are defeated at the ballot box reminding these scum why they will forevermore be branded and remembered as traitors to this nation and it's people.
It also shows just how easy it is to dupe a large percentage of the population.
It's a function of periodicity across space which graphs very well with other cooling/warming events across history, much of which involves the last half a million years or so. In other words human societal and technological histories.
I was just daydreaming for a bit, hoping that there was some hope for this country through it's people.
Reality however, soon returns along my more realistic opinion- that the people who elect these traitors that are selling out this nation deserve everything that's coming to them. The sooner the better.
Perhaps then, when they are forced to suffer the consequences of their actions, things will begin to turn around for the better.
This is what happens to people when they are safe and secure and don’t have enough real problems to worry about.
When 911 happened, we had a real problem to worry about. For awhile. Then the military made us safe again and we went back to being stupid. If the economy gets bad enough, we’ll have something real to worry about again and people will start to act smart again. For awhile.
Many factors influence this planet's climate, the biggest of which is the star that is some 93 million miles from us. Compared to the effects of our proximity to an "R" type star, cow farts and other such resultants of life, human or otherwise, on this planet are minuscule at best...
The real science in this can be graphed. The junkscience of the globull warmists requires fudging the data to fit the assumption.
Our Congress passing a "climate change" bill is about as sensible as passing a bill to halt plate tectonics, or to change he value of PI.
But just think, if we could get them to spend the next four years trying to pass a bill to change PI, it sure would cut down on the passage of Grossly Stupid Legislation.... ;-) I think I'll write my congresscritter...
Layoffs clouding the solar industry
Snippet: OptiSolar, Evergreen Solar, HelioVolt, SpectraWatt -- hardly household names, but they've all confirmed layoffs, factory closings or construction delays. Ausra, a well-financed solar thermal company in California, has reportedly laid off workers as well.
Rep. Kaptur gets $3.5 billion sweetener in climate bill
They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted - a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state's Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.
Oh, you've proved what you are, now we're just negotiating price.
