Kerry seeks more U.S. climate funds for poor nations (Grahamnesty wants carbon taxes by spring)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two senators on Tuesday gave a boost to next week's global environmental summit in Copenhagen, with a senior Democrat advocating more U.S. funding of climate change efforts by poor nations and a key Republican calling for quick action on a U.S. climate bill.

Democratic Senator John Kerry, a leading advocate of climate control legislation in Congress, recommended that the Obama administration include $3 billion in next year's budget to help fund efforts to address global warming. This year's funding is about one third that amount.

Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the few Republicans willing to negotiate with Democrats on a climate change bill, told Reuters, "I think we need to act by next spring" to pass a bill limiting U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

Graham also said it is time for the U.S. business community to get behind such an effort. "Business has to weigh in here," Graham said in an interview.

"The environmental community is becoming very reasonable," Graham added, by signaling its openness to more offshore oil and gas drilling and expanded nuclear power.

I thought maybe Graham had half a brain from the way he grilled Holder.

On climate change, he’d dumb as a post. That’s discouraging. Although not totally surprising.

When your brokers become vampires, this is something like they will come up with. Whereas most stocks and bonds must represent some underlying value, these can be invented straight out of thin air, as fast as your laser printer can spit them out. Something like the new Obama Dollar.

"The environmental community is becoming very reasonable," Graham added, by signaling its openness to more offshore oil and gas drilling and expanded nuclear power.

They want this really bad, if they are willing to pretend to back drilling and nukes to get it. They aren't stupid. They know once it passes they get veto power over, not just drilling and nukes, but abso-freaking-lutely everything; you will pay a legal bribe to get permission to do anything, hire specialty law firms they own to navigate the byzantine new rules they make up as they go along and to facilitate that bribe, and then they get a cut of whatever action you just bribed them to get permission to undertake.

And its all based on a lie that everyone knows is a lie, and everyone now knows that everyone knows is a lie.

There has got to be a movie in here somewhere. I can almost hear Al Pacino emoting at the top of his lungs. Or maybe Nicholson, I'm not sure who gets to play Satan in this one. Either one would be good.

Guess they don’t get the internet in Washington DC, thus haven’t heard of ClimateGate yet.

Hey John and Lindsey, get a heads up on "Climate Change", it's a myth, a hoax and a sham. Oh, I guess you're in on the profits then if you're going along with it. Only reason I can think of for intelligent educated senators to be in favor of Climategate.

UN Blowback: More than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims (FROM: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works) Plain and simple, the global warming--now "climate change," as the globe is actually cooling and makes "global warming" a tougher sell--movement is a farce, a facade for global socialism. To say nothing about possible unintended consequences of wrongheaded human intervention, it's not about the sea levels, it's not about the polar bears (which are doing fine, thank you very much), it's not about any of that -- it's about the transfer of wealth and the destruction of industry. It's the newest avenue for socialism on a global level. Oh I see, John and Lindsey are for socialism. . .

and

Founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, concerning Global Warming: It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus. Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, and the Democratic Political Party. . And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam.

So, Now What? On to Copenhagen? Do We the People have any say in this debacle?

That was a sound bite moment.

Lindsey's being paid off. That means, all we have to do is find the money trail.

The psychology of the whole thing is really fascinating. It would be really interesting if you could monitor the thoughts of news network suits and other AWG stooges as this thing has unfolded. When those editors, for the 10th day in a row, decide that they don't have the time or space for this story, but have plenty for apocalyptic scare stories about how we're all melting, you really have to wonder what goes on in their heads. Is it just pure corruption, or are they still convinced that the whole AWG fad isn't over?

This is all part of this:

Africa will not reveal its climate compensation demands

http://en.cop15.dk/news/view+news?newsid=2627

I consider it High Treason to steel money from Americans and give it to their Communist friends around the globe, but Kerry and Obama and all their friends, are just hell bent on swinging from scaffolds...

If he's being blackmailed, he's an idiot. My gaydar went off, and I still voted for him twice. SC didn't care if he was "sweet"--as the spiteful bless-his-heart goes--they thought he was a conservative.

We wanted someone to represent the interests of SC, and that's what we believed we had in Lindsey in 2000. In 08, the SC GOP disenfranchised us in the 08 primaries, and we won't forget that. Lindsey had his big war chest.

And what we should do in SC is go after Bob Inglis and unseat him. He's the Lindsey of the House.

Marron- this is several posts I’ve seen of yours on this issue now, and I have to tell you, you’re spot on and pretty savvy when it comes to reading the writing on the wall- that is precisely what these ecoterrorists are goign to do- play all nicey nice to get repubs on board when they ram through climate bills i nthe middle of the night when noone is looking, then when the deal is done, and America and the world have fallen into the trap- they’ll turn right around and pull the rug out from under the dolts like Graham’s feet whereby these dolts iwll looked stunned, jaw agape,m wondering what hit them... for the 1,000’th time in a row

[[Whereas most stocks and bonds must represent some underlying value, these can be invented straight out of thin air,]]

That’s EXACTLY how this is playing out- passing mandates by pulling imaginary facts and figures out of thin air because the evidence doesn’t actually support the claims- thugs do this all the time- and it looks liek they are goign to get away with it one more time- only htis time, it’ll be the undoing of entire nations all across the globe. The far left is so lustful to pull this off before anyoen notices that they’ll stoop to ANY level to accomplish this massive ponzi scheme, and just suffer the fallout after- if any- providing hte mainstream media gets off their oversized rearends and actually does the jobs they are supposed to, and exposes this ponzi scheme for what it really is

I’ve said right along, that if the dems EVER got the majority, they know full well they have only one term to screw as many folks out of hteir hard earned money as possible, and sadly, obama has 3 more VERY long years left to compeltely bankrupt this nation and hte good people who make up this country-
