Cap and Trade is an Economic Disaster

Tomorrow or this weekend the House will vote on Cap and Trade. This is a disastrous hidden tax that will hit consumers during a bad economy and it will make it worse. The Wall Street Journal dissects this scam and exposes it.

The Cap and Tax Fiction

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has put cap-and-trade legislation on a forced march through the House, and the bill may get a full vote as early as Friday. It looks as if the Democrats will have to destroy the discipline of economics to get it done.

Despite House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman’s many payoffs to Members, rural and Blue Dog Democrats remain wary of voting for a bill that will impose crushing costs on their home-district businesses and consumers. The leadership’s solution to this problem is to simply claim the bill defies the laws of economics.

Their gambit got a boost this week, when the Congressional Budget Office did an analysis of what has come to be known as the Waxman-Markey bill. According to the CBO, the climate legislation would cost the average household only $175 a year by 2020. Edward Markey, Mr. Waxman’s co-author, instantly set to crowing that the cost of upending the entire energy economy would be no more than a postage stamp a day for the average household. Amazing. A closer look at the CBO analysis finds that it contains so many caveats as to render it useless.

This and the so called health care reform will be 2 nails in our economy’s coffin.

Dem mutiny on climate bill

The Cap & Trade scam that Obama is forcing on us is in trouble. More Democrats are becoming skeptical about this scam that will do nothing but raise energy costs. Hopefully this dangerous bill will be defeated.

Dem mutiny on climate bill grows, says Peterson

More and more Democrats are ready to vote against Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s climate change bill, according to a congressional committee chairman who opposes his leader.

The House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) said Wednesday that he’s at an impasse with the lead sponsor of a climate change bill strongly backed by Pelosi (D-Calif.), and that his list of Democratic members who would join him in voting against the measure is growing rather than shrinking.

This bill is nothing more than a way to make life more expensive. By raising energy prices and eating away peoples’ incomes even further, this will force government dependency. This is the goal of the Progressive-Fascists. To have people be serfs and they will be the Lords of the Neo-Feudal system they are creating. Cap & Trade is just another step in this direction.

Gorebal Warming or just pure nonsense?

JUNEAU, Alaska — Global warming conjures images of rising seas that threaten coastal gorehypnosisareas. But in Juneau, as almost nowhere else in the world, climate change is having the opposite effect: As the glaciers here melt, the land is rising, causing the sea to retreat.
[…]
The geology is complex, but it boils down to this: Relieved of billions of tons of glacial weight, the land has risen much as a cushion regains its shape after someone gets up from a couch. The land is ascending so fast that the rising seas — a ubiquitous byproduct of global warming — cannot keep pace. As a result, the relative sea level is falling, at a rate “among the highest ever recorded,” according to a 2007 report by a panel of experts convened by Mayor Bruce Botelho of Juneau.

Gorebal warming science claims sea levels will rise, but when that doesn’t happen in reality they just put a new spin on it. Personally, I would have blamed the many volcanos in Alaska, but that doesn’t fit the Gorebal warming agenda. So this new claim is that the glaciers melt and the land does not have as much of the tremendous weight, so the land springs upward faster than the ocean rises. First off, I would like to see proof that the ocean is rising, not just the assumption that it is, but we will play their game for now.

As a result, the region faces unusual environmental challenges. As the sea level falls relative to the land, water tables fall, too, and streams and wetlands dry out…….. And meltwater carries the sediment scoured long ago by the glaciers to the coast, where it clouds the water and silts up once-navigable channels.

My BS detector just went off the chart.
How do streams dry out when they have to be filled with lots of meltwater from all the glaciers that are melting? How do these “dry” streams carry all that silt down and make the channels unnavigable?
Erosion happens everyday in every river and stream and silt also happens to be deposited at the bottom of said river or streams. Every shallow navigable channel in the world gets silted up and has to be dredged to stay navigable. Notice that dredging companies existed long before Gorebal warming hysteria.

In some places along the coast, the change has been so rapid that kayakers whose charts are not up-to-the-minute can find themselves carrying their boats over shoals that are now so high and dry they now support grass or even small trees.

Now with up-to-the-minute hysteria. It takes a lot of energy to move even small amounts of land. If that coast line is changing that fast, I highly doubt you could kayak enough for two there!

Relative to the sea, land here has risen as much as 10 feet in little more than 200 years, according to the 2007 report. As global warming accelerates, the land will continue to rise, perhaps three more feet by 2100, scientists say.

The rise is further fueled by the movement of the tectonic plates that form the earth’s crust. As the Pacific plate pushes under the North American plate, Juneau and its hilly Tongass National Forest environs rise still more.

You have to take that 10 feet with a grain of salt somewhat.
We have not had the technology to accurately measure elevations 200 years ago or even 100 years ago.
Now here could be the real and only culprit, the tectonic plates, which surely have the power to move large land masses large distances and sounds much more plausible to this anti-science guy than the ideas these bozo “scientist” can conjure up.

Democrats Refuse to Allow Climate Change Skeptic to Testify Alongside Gore At Congressional Hearing

It seems that the so-called protectors of free speech, open mindedness, difference of opinion, equality, and scientific competition are once again showing their true colors by shamelessly shutting down debate on what they consider the most pressing issue of our time: global warming…eh, I mean Climate Change.

Washington, DC — UK’s Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.


“The House Democrats don’t want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face,” Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. “They are cowards.”


According to Monckton, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go head to head with Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had “chickened out” and there would be no joint appearance. Gore is scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment’s fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing will be held in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.


According to Monckton, House Democrats told the Republican committee staff earlier this week that they would be putting forward an unnamed ‘celebrity’ as their star witness Friday at a multi-panel climate hearing examining the House global warming bill. The “celebrity” witness turned out to be Gore. Monckton said the GOP replied they would respond to the Democrats’ “celebrity” with an unnamed “celebrity” of their own. But Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore.


“The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore’s sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear,” Monckton said from the airport Thursday evening
