GOP Climate Group Targets Global Carbon Emissions Amid Record Gas Prices

A coalition of House Republicans tasked with crafting energy and climate policy are set to unveil a six-point plan Thursday to, in part, curb global greenhouse gas emissions.

The plan, proposed by the Energy, Climate, and Conservation (ECC) task force and spearheaded by Louisiana Rep. Garret Graves, will seek to “unlock” American resources, position the U.S. to beat China and Russia, boost innovation and improve conservation policies, according to the conservative green energy group ClearPath Action. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tapped Graves to lead the ECC task force and “develop policy solutions to help lower energy costs for consumers, increase our energy security, and reduce global emissions,” a spokesperson for Graves said in an email Wednesday.

“Conservatives have real solutions to solve the climate challenge and make energy more affordable,” ClearPath Action CEO Rich Powell said in a statement. “Here’s a comprehensive plan that works — it reduces carbon emissions, creates jobs, eliminates dependence on foreign adversaries resources, and will be well-received in every single Congressional district in America according to our research.”

“Conservatives are pulling up a seat at the table to solve the climate challenge with real solutions,” he continued. “These ideas unleash the power of entrepreneurship and free markets.”

So the first thing Trump's man "leader" muck-arthy should have done is pushed back against the lie that is climate change and present the proponents this simple list of questions:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

But nope. Sheepleing right along.....

Two simple sentences for good energy and climate policy: 1. “Climate change” is a scam. 2. Drill, baby! Drill!

To quote the great Moe Howard in a line from the Three Stooges: “You mug ... we’re gonna get rubbed out after the fight, and you’re worried about a cream puff!”

I agree with you on the questions and the approach. However, we now live in a society that has no shared moral, religious, or scientific standards. We no longer measure performance against any specific criterion. Reason is gone. We now exercise situational judgment based on emotion, perceived need, or political standing.

Establishing benchmarks or standards might hurt someone’s feelings if the measured outcome is found substandard.

“ No mention of nuclear, of course.”

Nuclear is bad because it involves using protons and neutrons which is the exact same material that carbon dioxide is made out of

Forest animals are now branded “useless eaters”. So the fires are a GOOD thing.
