California Rep. Henry Waxman said Thursday the environment and U.S. economy depend on congressional action to confront the threat of climate change. Waxman, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, spoke as he opened Congress' first hearing on climate legislation.

"Basically this time next year if it passes, natural gas will double in price and coal produced electric which is about 70% of our electric will triple in price."

And Obama will have kept the first promise of his life: the promise he made to bankrupt the US coal industry.

He apparently believes he has the power of God.

Most liberals have replaced God with themselves...so it fits the mold.

Is he going to set off nukes at the Nellis test site?

[Revolting cat!]

With that schnozz, Waxman is causing global warming by himself, just by exhaling.

It's working in Chicago...H/T to Drudge:

Wicked: Coldest Temps In Over A Decade
First Day With A Low Colder Than -10 In Chicago Since 1999

**********************EXCERPT***********************

The typical exercise of bundling up for winter won't cut it on Thursday.

It's time to break out the long underwear and the electric gloves, for what is expected to go down as the coldest day in more than a decade.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill warning until noon Friday. The forecast high for Thursday is expected to linger in the negative range at -2, dropping to -15 overnight. Strong northwest winds are producing wind chill factors of -25 to -40.

CBS 2's Ed Curran says as of 11 a.m., it was -8 at O'Hare International Airport and -5 at Midway. In Waukegan it was also -8, in Joliet it was -14, and in Aurora, the mercury was reading -18.

But with winds of 12 mph at O'Hare, wind chills were far more brutal, at a reading of -27 at O'Hare, -28 at Midway, -33 in Joliet, -37 in DeKalb, and -42 in Aurora at 11 a.m.

Electric gloves? Where have I been?

[SoldierDad]

Yeah, all too true I'm afraid. And, we're faced with yet another “false” prophet to deal with (at least for the next 4 years).

Waxman wants a combined system of carbon taxes AND cap and trade schemes, so the Government can get the maximum tax revenue from it.
