Host Mike WALLACE: President Obama is just back from Copenhagen with a climate deal that he called an unprecedented breakthrough. How meaningful do you think it is?
MCCAIN: I think that the fact it has no binding provisions to it whatsoever is a rhetorical attempt to cover up what was obviously a serious failure. But again, the American people right now are not interested in giving $100 billion to other countries, not when we have 10 percent unemployment, and we have people who can’t stay in their homes and the serious economic situation that prevails in the United States today.

Page six of The New York Times was headlined with the serious concerns of ‘geologists’” Only the president at the time wasn’t Bill Clinton; it was Grover Cleveland. And the Times wasn’t warning about global warming – it was telling readers the looming dangers of a new ice age.
“The year was 1895 (click here to see New York Times article), and it was just one of four different time periods in the last 100 years when major print media predicted an impending climate crisis. Each prediction carried its own elements of doom, saying Canada could be ‘wiped out’ or lower crop yields would mean ‘billions will die.’
“Just three decades ago, in 1975, the paper reported: ‘A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable.’ (click here to see a great Forbes article) That trend, too, cooled off and ….. Read the rest of this entry…

“Own it” and you own the people who use it. Make people dependent and they follow you anywhere. They have to. How do you do it? Politicize something that occurs naturally…..Cap and Trade is a shell game and will do NOTHING to reduce pollution or energy consumption. Congressman Mike Rogers (click here for video) on C-SPAN: Legislators admit that Cap & Trade will make prices skyrocket. This bill is not about reducing pollution, it’s not about reducing energy consumption. Rather, it is about controlling another major sector of our economy and Read the rest of this entry…

The EPA lawyers did take down their video entitled, “The Huge Mistake”. But not before others reposted it.
Heritage.org reports “Two More Inconvenient Voices at the EPA” that, in the alleged new era of transparency, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making quite a name for itself as being the agency of opacity. Read the rest of this entry…
