Markey: With End of U.S. Gov. Climate Denial, Real Endangerment Comes from Forces Stopping Action
Decision Based on Mountains of Data, Not Molehill of Manufactured Doubt
WASHINGTON (December 7, 2009) Following the announcement today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that it has finalized the so-called endangerment finding and determined that heat-trapping pollution constitutes a danger to human health and the environment, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), co-author of the Waxman-Markey climate bill and chair of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, issued the following statement:
Now that the U.S. government has officially ended its era of climate denial, the real endangerment to our planet comes from those who continue to deny the science and delay taking any action.
The finding that global warming pollution poses a threat to human health and our environment is based on mountains of data accumulated from thousands of scientists over the course of decades. The molehill recently manufactured by a few climate deniers does not change that.
President Obama and the United States Congress can now travel to Copenhagen armed with regulatory credibility and emission reduction targets from the Waxman-Markey legislation. The world is watching, and the United States is acting.
The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming was formed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to increase the
The site also contains such gems as: We can no longer allow our energy and climate policy to be dictated by Saudi Arabian oligarchs or Exxon Mobil oil-igarchs. and As the world awaits the advent of a new era of climate action, President Obamas decision to attend the climate talks later in the advent calendar is an early holiday gift to the climate negotiations, and to the health of the planet ... By extending robust funding to the developing world to help them adapt to the worst impacts of global warming, the president is bridging one of the major gaps preventing a final, binding international agreement."
Whatta tool.
Good Post, Keep the heat up
THEY CAN NOT STAND CONSTANT PRESSURE.
It's getting a little, er, warm for them, isn't it?
Gee, the Environmental Protection Agency just happened to come out with its finding right before the Copenhagen summit. What a coincidence.
It’s a scam, folks, and don’t think your government isn’t willing to join in.
Ed Markey career peaked when he was an Ice Cream Man in Malden.
That global warming pollution fell back to earth in the Houston area last Friday in the form of historic fluffy white stuff that seemed to make everyone a bit giddy.
And his father had to get him that job too! I wonder if the heat is on at 24 Townsend Street?
Ed used to claim his mothers house as his Mass residence, I wonder what he claims now that she has passed. He is called the ghost in some circles because he isn’t seen in his district except in election years.
Hey, Comrade Markey, this "molehill" was manufactured by your own "scientists" who themselves don't believe in global warming as is evidenced by their desperate need to "hide the decline."
Useful idiot...
Understand the language and posturing here. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. It's whether the government says it's true.
The finding that global warming pollution poses a threat to human health and our environment is based on mountains of data accumulated from thousands of scientists over the course of decades. The molehill recently manufactured by a few climate deniers does not change that. No, about ten demented goofballs are at the center of this, this greatest hoax in human history. And their data has been massaged, fiddled, tweaked, and now lost.
President Obama and the United States Congress can now travel to Copenhagen armed with regulatory credibility and emission reduction targets from the Waxman-Markey legislation. The world is watching, and the United States is acting.
...like a country bent on national economic suicide. Regulatory credibility is one thing. You've seized power, or are trying to. Your authority is questionable to do so. There's just no factual basis for your claims. You cannot get China and India to go along with your specious nonsense, because they are not ruled by self-loathing leftists. Unfortunately we are. For now.
Massachusetts is a worse enemy of America than Iran.
Purge them from the union....
And, why does all the action taking begin & end with the TAKING OF MY MONEY?
So Fast Ed comes into a pricey Chinese restaurant in Malden Sq. He sees a local official dining with his wife and invites himself to sit down. After being introduced to the owner, he has a few drinks and orders some appetizers. Then he gets up and leaves. Real class act.
Please kick the south out of this abysmal Union that Lincoln hath wrought....
Markey is full of Malarkey!

This tool has lost his marbles! He’s certifiable! What I’d like to see is a cross section of the citizens who voted this douche bag into office.
