[Albany lawmakers "fail" to pass climate swindle legislation]

Lawmakers in Washington voted for the first time on Friday to try to curb the greenhouse gases linked to climate change.

Lawmakers in Albany gaveled in and gaveled out - on Friday, Saturday and yesterday. They approved nothing.

The House of Representatives made history. Legislators are trying to slow the carbon dioxide emissions that many scientists warn are warming the Earth.

History in Albany? Only the degree to which the state senators made fools of themselves.

The damage has disappeared, but Mendocino County grape growers won’t soon forget last year’s frosts that caused their crop yield to plunge 25 percent from the year before.

“It was historic,” Devon Jones, executive director of the county Farm Bureau, recalled of the multiple spring nights of frost in 2008. What made it particularly destructive was a single April night when cold air blanketed the region and attacked hillside vines that normally escape damage.

Growers throughout the North Coast last year saw their yields drop because of frost and poor pollination. As a result, growers saw their income drop by $144 million.

"There was frost damage on the crop earlier this year," said TRI director Sarath Abeysinghe. "It was frosty early in the morning and very dry and hot during the day. It could be attributed to global climate change. We can't predict the weather any more."
