Instapundit on Oprah's jet
A SELF-CONFESSED GREENHOUSE CRIMINAL: Oprah: It’s Great to Have a Private Jet. When the People’s Eco-Trials begin, she’ll be first. Though I’m expecting a presidential pardon in her case

That would be Karl Bohnak, chief meteorologist at WLUC-TV on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, who calls global warming alarmism his “pet peeve” and finally got so fed up with it that he wrote to his congressman, Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak.
...
...A subtly brave statement by Bohnak, considering his station’s network affiliation. Good for him.

Letter to the Editor: “What kind of person would assert that this time, unlike all others,…that only the actions of man can cause global warming? Only an egotistical fool.” | GORE LIED
In the last billion years, the earth has experienced global warming and cooling over a thousand times in the same way, caused by physical forces understood to be the laws of nature. What kind of person would assert that this time, unlike all others, the natural forces are somehow not active, and that only the actions of man can cause global warming? Only an egotistical fool.

CHAFFETZ: Expose cap-and-trade costs - Washington Times
To counter the administration's attempt to bury this tax increase in our utility bills, I am sponsoring legislation to require utility companies to itemize on customer utility bills the cap-and-trade taxes that utility companies are passing on to their customers. As regulated entities, utilities pass on 100 percent of their taxes to customers, unlike other businesses, which pass on taxes to shareholders and employees as well as customers. Under my bill, every month, when utility customers - residential and business - receive their utility bills, they would clearly see how much the cap-and-trade tax is really costing them. While government may get our money, it also would get the blame. This is about transparency. If cap-and-trade taxes are such a good idea, why not let taxpayers see how much those taxes will really cost them?
