Krauthammer: Pending Climate Change Legislation a 'Dead Parrot'
Newsbusters ^ | November 28, 2009 | Jeff Poor

After the U.S. House of Representatives passed cap-and-trade legislation earlier this year by a thin seven-vote margin earlier this year, the possibility that it could become law seemed like it was a real one.

But after the dust settled some, the White House shifted its focused to so-called health care reform. And additionally, leaked emails surrounding the recent event known ClimateGate have put the entire premise of anthropogenic global warming in doubt. Thus, the likelihood of congressional Democrats getting a bill to the President's desk and signed into law has somewhat dimmed.

And that's a topic a special Thanksgiving Nov. 26 broadcast of Fox News "Special Report" took on. Host Bret Baier explained that there's pending put forward by Environment and Publics Works Committee Chairwoman Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., with some rigid guidelines for carbon emissions.

I think it's premature to declare victory. The Left is surging on this issue and most people don't know a thing about the emails.

It’s gotta really irk the left. They might just as easily spun up a global cooling hysteria. They had a 50/50 chance that whatever they chose would correspond to the actual data and the coin came up tails.

Just to add to the insanity, California wants to make the purchase of Black Cars illegal since they absorb Solar Radiation and contribute to Global Warming.

Not sure if they got it passed yet, but the idea that someone thought this up is scary but not surprising.

Agree Jeff, an almost total MSM blackout on that fact. The left wants to shove this AGW scam down our throats.

With the financial problems in Kalifornia, you’d think the idiots thinking that stuff up would be on the layoff list.

"Barack Obama said the moment of his election was when the rise of the oceans would begin to stall and our planet would begin to heal.

How many frauds now have they perpetrated in a few short months?

They stole General Motors from the bond-holders. Climategate. Flu-gate. Naturalcitizengate. Healthindustrygate. Stimulusgate. Guantanomogate.

More than ever I want to see that birth certificate.

I want Holder forced from office over the KSM ordeal. And Obama and Gore in handcuffs.

Just wait until professors start applying for research grants
to DISprove Global Warming based upon the CRU-leak. That’s
when they will really start to freak and realize how
dangerous this is to their LIE!

This is probably one of the most poorly written news reports I have ever read.

"California wants to make the purchase of Black Cars illegal since they absorb Solar Radiation and contribute to Global Warming."

But at least there would be other colors available. When they find out the earth is actually cooling, everyone will be forced to drive black cars.

Henry Ford must have known the earth was actually cooling when he said of the Model-T, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it's black."
