Governors Pushing Caps on Greenhouse Gases

Posted November 15, 2007 3:14 PM

From NYT > Science:

Frustrated with the slow progress of energy and global warming legislation in Washington, the nation's governors have created regional agreements to cap greenhouse gases and are engaged in a concerted lobbying effort to prod Congress to act. Beginning Monday, three Western governors will appear in a nationwide television advertising campaign sponsored by an environmental group trying to generate public and political support for the climate change legislation now before the Senate. The 30-second a features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican of California; Jon Huntsman Jr., Republican of Utah; and Brian Schweitzer, Democrat of Montana, standing in casual clothes in scenic locations talking about the threat posed by greenhouse gas emissions. The nation's governors are acting, but Congress is not, they say. "Now it's their turn," Mr. Schwarzenegger says.

I am so sick and tired of watching these idiot govenors and politicians who know nothing about the science getting ready to tax the hell out of me on the basis of an unproven theory. Why are so many people so damn dumb. Climate change may be real, but no one has proven that we have anything to do with it at all. Is anyone else upset that these idiots are preparing to tax us based on an unproven theory? It's just another example of how Democrats simply want any excuse at all to decide how to spend the money that I make.

After Al Gore's movIe got ripped apart and proven to be frought with errors, people are still treating it like the damn bible. The man is a freakin idiot!! After NASA released an article detailing that their temperature data was corrupted and unreliable, everyone just ignored it! And what about the fact that these temperature measurement tools have been found to be placed near A/C heat sinks and so on. AND HEY, WHERE ARE THE CALIBRATION RECORDS FOR ALL THESE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT TOOLS???? People are saying that we have seen a 0.2 degree increase in temperature, but what is the accuracy of the instruments??? I work in an industry where we need cal records for any measurement in order for it to mean anything. Where are the records for the instruments measuring our supposed climate change measurements??? NO, we must shut up and let the government tax us to death based on faulty data and incorrect conclusions about climate change. Hey, why let the facts get in the way of your beliefs right? WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to stop these politicians from abusing the science and taking advantage of those people who don't know better.
