Despite a lack of precedent or applicable law, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants a hearing to make the EPA provide evidence that climate change endangers Americans. ___ The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, seeking to make monkeys of the legions of scientists who have suggested that climate change is a significant problem, wants to put them on trial. Specifically, it wants the Environmental Protection Agency to stage a “Scopes monkey trial” for the 21st century, appointing a judge to hear evidence on the question of whether global warming endangers Americans' health.
It's an intriguing idea. Congress is considering legislation aimed at fighting climate change that would force the country to reinvent its entire energy infrastructure. Separately, the EPA is weighing an “endangerment finding” that would authorize the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Thus the federal government may be embarking on a very expensive course -- all to head off a threat that many Americans don't understand or don't believe to be a threat at all. Wouldn't it be great if we could just stage a big trial, weigh the evidence and decide whether any of this makes sense? Maybe we could even get Judge Judy to preside.

Capital idea!
Give it up LA Slimes... The left is coming unhinged all the way around.
I agree we need to expose Global Warming for the fraud it is..... but man the way the slimes writes this is reads like a hit piece against conservatives.
Points the EPA MUST adequately explain:
- Why is Carbon Dioxide considered a Pollutant? Don’t plants need it? Aren’t greenhouses that INCREASE the CO2 prone to better crop yields and healthier crops?
- If this is the case [global warming] then is it part of a cycle? Wouldn’t Global Warming increase the available amount of farmland as the arctic regions shrink?
I’m sure the climate commies will get a fix on the judge somehow! It’s all rigged anyway......a dog and pony show if you will.
GW has been officially ruled a religion. (9.9.09)
In the first case of its kind, an employment tribunal decided that Nicholson, 41, had views amounting to a "philosophical belief in climate change", allowing him the same legal protection against discrimination as religious beliefs.
Shall we name it something appropriate - such as the “Liberal Dinosaur” Bamboozle Trial?
Or manybe - “How far up my @$$ can I shove my head before I see daylight” Trial.
Lets hear your “CREATIVE” thoughts on this............

Global warming on the hot seat.
And why would CO2 be implicated as the cause of global warming when ice core evidence of past correlations shows that global warming preceded atmospheric CO2 increases by some 800 years?
It needs to be done in a NOVA like way. A documentary with really great graphics & demos. 2 hours max. Nothing about the economy. Just a special on carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases because the premise of their whole argument is that human activity emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases causes “global warming” or “climate change.” Refute that premise. People are not stupid.
Great idea! Bring it on!
