  • The Cap and Trade Ripoff: What's Cooking?
    Posted by: firesisle

John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, along with 30,000 scientists worldwide, are suing Al Gore for perpetrating the fraud of Global Warming.

The most inconvenient truth of all, based on a 2009 EPA Draft Report, which was apparently suppressed, is that global temperatures have been, and are currently going down! A link to the original paper is included at the bottom of this article.

During the period 1998 to present, the planet has been in a cooling phase, while the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere has gone up. A similar situation occured between 1940 and 1970, leading to the inescapable conclusion that global warming caused by CO2 doesn't exist.

Why then have our political leaders and mass media been pushing something which is so obviously flawed science? The answer, to me, appears pretty simple: profit and power.

Our political leaders, on both sides of the boat, love to present the citizens of this country with a monolithic evil, so they can walk in like John Wayne and save the day. That the crisis is a pure fabrication, based on junk science, or shoddy intelligence never seems to bother them. Democrats have done it with Social Security for years; GW Bush did it with national security; now Obama is doing it with global warming.

It's the same old tired dog and pony show, but Cap and Trade is potentially one of the most devestating scams that's ever been perpetrated on the American people. If utilitiy costs to the average US consumer go up even a fraction of what is being predicted, it will be a disaster; if they reach anything near worst case scenarios, it will be a disaster of truly global proportions.

Add that to the fact that about 300 pages were added to the bill the night before it was voted on and passed, which nobody who voted on the bill read, and I think people should be a little concerned. Are we going to support our Congressional representatives who continue to support unread legislation which affects everyone in the country?

Cap and Trade will do nothing to reduce "global warming". It will, however, almost certainly reduce the amount of money available to every family in the US for things like food, shelter, medical attention etc. by inflating their energy costs.

Is really the change you wanted??

    Not me, friend! I didn't sign up for this, and I've asked my Democratic congressman to stop being Obama's (and Pelosi's) rubber stamp. Sadly, that's exactly how he sees his task even though "his" president did not carry my state (Arkansas) and did even more poorly in his district. Talk about a complete disconnect! More sadly still, he will be re-elected in a cake walk because he's a good ol' boy. Pretty sad.

    Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio): "I oppose H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The reason is simple. It won't address the problem. In fact, it might make the problem worse." Details: http://tinyurl.com/qh27oa

    Yep... but what's a bit scary is that Kucinich opposes it because it doesn't go far enough; he's still promoting global warming hysteria...

    Gore stands to make billions off the cap and trade scams as do SEVERAL Congress members including Pelosi. (Research CLNE)

    Cap and trade is President Obama's, Pelosi's and Reid's (along with Al Gore) and their tankload of fear mongering.. ticket to security and a beach front mansion in Costa Rica and the destruction of the American dream.

    Additionally, it's a clamp for re-elecection - it will give 10 million people newly citizenized jobs. No worries about all the natural born Americans - they will lose there home, their savings their jobs -but the good old government will put them on welfar and pay allowances for the housing all the while granting them BASIC human healthcare.

    Sorry, I believe those 10 newley citizened will be hogtied for the Middle East war that will continue until those darn Muslim countries get with the global socialism agenda.

    And I don't think it is green jobs that they want to legalize them for. But the funny thing is, I wonder how many will even take up that offer, since they have it so much better being foreigners and illegals with paid health care, and not taxes.

    If bills are too voluminous to read, then there is the "pass" option for Congressional members to vote. This was governmental collusion on the part of both parties, and they simply drew straws as they did with the bank bailout, and also stimulus.

    Since the do, after all, work for the bankers at the Fed and until the global economy is finalized in bringing those darn Muslim's countries on board come hook, crook, or global war - those bankers "will will be done."

    The Congressional website was done, so the tyranny goes so far as to now allow them to shut down the switchboards in order to commit their treason.

    All of them should be tried and hung for that one treason alone, since Benedict Arnold doesn't even half describe it at this point.

    Obama and those lawyers on the Hill appears continue to feed their Bar brothers. Now a class action, that will be "settled" for an undisclosed sum, but what will it actually do since the House passed the bill. The Senate won't pass it, and will leave it in the hopper yet Congress will fund the regulatory agencies and inform them that this scam is now "law," even though it really has not force of law - being, of course, blatantly unconstitutional at its core.

    And I wonder where all these lawyers are that the taxpayers are paying as "advisors" to Congressional members while these bills are being written and read on the floor. Are they somewhere else at that time calling all their brokers?

    What's even more laughable is what is happening at the state level over the "global warming" and pollution problems (which, of course, the government created by allowing more and more people to move here and issuing more and more visas and taking in more and more "war refugees."

    The State of Maine passed a bill last session that is now going to fine truck and automobile drivers if they exceed the legal "idling" time.
    They can only idle their cars for so many minutes, or be subject to a fine.

    And you wonder why our criminal complaints and warrants, and property theft rates go up? Because all the local police are canvassing the sports bars and casinos for the "social drinking" taxes, and now using binoculars for "seat belt violations," and now the new one - sitting on the corner with a stopwatch fining for "idling" violations.

    The founders would not be laughting, they would be storming the Capitol about now.

    While I agree that most measures being taken to combat global warming are misguided and may indeed cause more harm than good, I disagree with the assertion that global warming is a simple falsity. I'm not a fan of Al Gore, and I'm not a Democrat, but I find the overwhelming majority of scientific evidence to corroborate said theory- hence theory, not hypothesis. Yes, the planet does go through cooling and warming stages in a quasi-sine wave pattern. The effects of global warming accelerate the warming process and bring the cooling process about sooner, and exacerbate both. Ice ages occur periodically, and the most recent one was caused (according to my AP Environmental Science teacher, at least) by a massive influx of freshwater into the oceans by a breaking of the land barrier between the ocean and a freshwater reserve around the Maine/Newfoundland area. Likewise, the increasing influx of freshwater into the oceans caused by the melting of ice caps (which itself is undeniable) has the potential to upset the heat-transfer system in the oceans and render us prone to another ice age, if not guaranteeing it.

    Sorry... my initial reply was partially deleted when I tried to edit it.. basically, my point was that a lot of our weather cycles are a combination of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation; the former has about a 2 year cycle, and the latter an approximately 50 year cycle. They, in turn are affected by solar activity, etc.

    I recently read that the atmospheric temperature has been going down since 1998,
