They will grind down our prosperity based on hysterical junk science:
Domenici is prepared to co-sponsor a provision that calls for a mandatory 2.4 percent annual reduction in the growth of so-called greenhouse gas emissions if he becomes convinced it will not scuttle a broad energy bill, a Domenici aide said Friday.What grandiose morons! What, you're going to make the Sun change its energy output? You're going to change the precession of the Earth's axis of rotation? You're going to change the water vapor content of the atmosphere?
...
Domenici, chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has been convinced that the Bingaman proposal, fashioned after a report last December by a bipartisan private group of energy experts, represents a middle ground on the climate issue.
In recent days, Domenici has been lobbying other GOP senators — as well as the White House — on the merits of the proposal, carrying in his suit pocket a recent letter by science academies from 11 countries including the United States urging nations to take "prompt action to reduce the causes of climate change."
Because human-produced Carbon Dioxide is neither a "pollutant", nor a significant contributor to global warming. Our temperature is normal for an inter-glacial period -- thank goodness!
No, they're going to crush the economy, so we'll have less wealth to take on the challenges of the future.
Good for you!
Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., are expected to offer a proposal that would require that heat-trapping pollution — mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels — be capped at 2000 levels in five years.McCain is such a disappointment. He's a nut. Why more people aren't outraged at his McCain-Feingold legislation that muzzles your political speech to protect his prima-donna ego is beyond me.
McCain's a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood.
Don't ever forget it.
