Obviously, this will drive the greenie-weenies insane, because they think that Someone Else besides themselves should have to suffer
House Republicans wasted no time Thursday in trying to block the Obama administration from acting to stem global warming.
On their second day in power, Republican lawmakers introduced several bills that would hamstring the Environmental Protection Agency from moving forward with regulations to reduce heat-trapping pollution from factories and other sources that they say contributes to global warming. The bills are part of an effort by House Republicans to reverse what they consider job-killing policies of the administration. The bills introduced by Reps. Ted Poe (R-TX), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), would stymie the EPA in different ways.
Poe’s measure would prohibit the EPA from using any money to implement or enforce regulations to impose a limit on global warming gases. Blackburn’s bill would change the Clean Air Act so the EPA could no longer use the law to control greenhouse gases.
Good for them. But, you do have to love NPR’s first paragraph “from acting to stem global warming.” Interestingly, none of the legislation nor protocols nor treaties would do much to stop anthropogenic global warming (not that it actually exists). The EPA’s rules would simply kill jobs and businesses while putting lots of money in the governments pocket, without mitigating the so-called global warming.
Obviously the climate change denierswere driven insane and now think that because they hold a majority in the House that ty now have enough power to have the Bills become law. The GOP has become the anti science party. How sad is that?
Teach only Saudi Arabia and Iran don’t believe in AGW These are the countries on THAT side of the matter.
yeah 3 reps representing big oil and big coal are leading on this one hope they get well paid for their efforts
Hey Teach, doesn’t China also not believe in man’s fault in the warming we had last century? And, wasn’t most of the rest of the world that failed to do anything with the Kyoto protocol? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kyoto_Protocol_Committed_to_reduction_2008-2012_map.png
Hey Teach, one wonders why anyone would continue to push a theory like a religious cult even though it has not been proven, been shown to be filled with false, erroneous, and bias-filled data, and is hugely backed by socialists and marxists bent on eliminating personal freedoms and incomes? Wonder why little Johnny is such a fervent follower and advocate? Could he hate the idea of your personal freedom?

Well, remember, Captain, liberals love the idea of personal freedom. For themselves. As for everyone else, they must be forced by government to toe the line.
