American Chronicle | Time And The Challenge Of Global Warming

The massive cap and tax bill passed out of the House is in a moment of hiatus before it gets to serious Senate consideration. I sure hope cooler heads, no pun intended, prevail over there. All the science folks admit that the proposal will have minimal effect on the carbon emissions worldwide. That is especially true if one factors in China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. Indeed no matter what we do here the carbon emissions will increase over the next several decades because of their continued growth and use of carbon based products. The real purpose and effect of the legislation is to control virtually every segment of our economy right down to the house you live in.

[Global warming scam Civil War: Brother against brother]

It’s Washington’s version of Family Feud, starring those well-connected Podestas. Today’s category: global warming.

In one corner, John Podesta, who served as co-chair of President Obama’s transition and was White House chief of staff to President Clinton. John Podesta’s think tank, the Center for American Progress, has been an ardent voice in favor of Congress taking bold steps to address climate change — making its views known on Capitol Hill through its action fund. American Progress has been especially critical of the coal industry’s “clean coal” campaign, calling it a “smoke screen” aimed at delaying meaningful action on global warming.

In the opposite corner, John’s brother, Tony Podesta, one of Washington’s most successful lobbyists — who picked up a significant new client as the climate debate revved up in the House this spring, according to the just-filed lobbying disclosure forms for the second quarter of the year. The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) — the very industry group derided by John Podesta’s group — paid Tony Podesta and five other lobbyists in his Podesta Group $50,000 in the second quarter to help represent its interests on the climate bill passed by the House in June.
