El Dorado County Conservative Examiner: Evidence could turn climate legislation on its head

If the evidence has a say in the coming congressional debates, Representative Waxman’s hysteria-driven bill should disappear into obscurity. The data suggesting that the world won’t face climate-induced disaster is mounting, and the global warming proselytizers should soon have to find a new pet catastrophe.

Global warming madness must be stifled
Global warming is a scam. Wait — it is now called climate change ever since the data shows the climate is not warming after all. But still the Al Gore types say the debate’s over, as if he was the ultimate authority on science. Sorry Al, but in science the debate is never over and the fact that you refuse to debate and even attack those who disagree is as unscientific as it gets.

We won’t solve global warming through voluntary effort – Kevin Burke

4) If people think their voluntary efforts are actually making a difference, they may be less likely to support the massively expensive regulations that we are going to need to actually solve the problem. As Richard Posner writes,

If people believe that voluntary efforts will suffice, there will be no political pressure to incur the heavy costs that will be necessary to avert the risk of catastrophic climate change.

American Thinker: Cap and Fade

Add to this the rather inconvenient truth that even those scientists who support the global warming thesis are insisting that a cap on CO2 emissions would have practically no effect on the earth's temperature, either because they recognize that warming takes place largely as a result of natural cycles or because they adopt the more radical position that it is too late to do anything about it. In either case, why should we bother? A cap and trade policy has now been in effect in Europe for over a decade: has it had even the slightest effect on the earth's temperature? What can be demonstrated quite conclusively is that far-reaching cap and trade legislation would create a costly bureaucracy, reduce economic activity, and lead to inflation, and these effects would not be a one-time hit: they would amount to a permanent tax on the American people.
