Climate bill's 'emergency provision' gives Obama strong-man powers

Here’s how: The bills require a federal declaration of a “climate emergency” if world greenhouse gas levels reach 450 parts per million. Guess what? The Pacific Northwest National Lab says it is a virtual certainty that level will be reached within a few months. The bill then requires the president to “direct all Federal agencies to use existing statutory authority to take appropriate actions...to address shortfalls" in achieving needed greenhouse gas reductions.

The Examiner's David Freddoso reports that Sen. David Vitter, R-LA, is holding a news conference later today concerning this provision. Vitter wonders if companies that support cap-and-trade in the hope they will profit from going green realize what could happen to them soon after enactment. More to the point, we wonder what the American people will do when they realize what is actually going on here.

You want to see where this will all lead?

View this video on Stalin. You won’t be able to take your eyes away.My wish would be that you would pass this on to others. As many as you can.

450 parts per million or .045%. You of course realize this is like putting a couple of drops of CO2 into a big aquarium and expecting the drop to have any impact on the temperature at all.

If mankind were to completely discontinue use of fossil fuels, atmospheric CO2 would continue to increase, as it bubbles out of the oceans the same way it bubbles out of a warming Coke.

This from Alexander Cockburn, a militant on the hard-left:

Water vapor is the most potent “greenhouse gas”, and it’s much more prevalent in the atmosphere than 450 parts per million.

Total, absolute control.
Plan A - EVERYTHING has an affect on health in one way or another. That means our oppressive government can control every aspect of our lives.
EVERYTHING affects the environment. This is plan B in case they missed anything in plan A.

To: concerned about politics

There’s no doubt about it. The House has gone extreme far left-wing after the last two election results. It’s off the charts on the left edge. Some of these bills look like they were literally written by communists straight out of the old Soviet Union. It’s unbelievable. Just wait until the first Tuesday in November, 2010. The democrats will be handed a crushing defeat on that day.

If they pass health care and cap and trade before then, will we really have any more real elections? They will have total control over us, why would they allow fair elections and mess up their sweet deal?
