Investor's Business Daily -- Climate Of Control
Politics: Though the EPA says a cap-and-trade bill will do nothing if the developing world doesn't cut CO2 emissions, Democrats are intent on passing a global warming law anyway. What is their real goal?Investor's Business Daily -- Welcome Back, Carter
Milestone: Thirty years after Jimmy Carter's malaise speech, we return to the days of rising joblessness, an unresponsive economy, deference to dictators, gutting the military and an energy policy tilting at windmills.Investor's Business Daily -- Is Cap-And-Trade Just Political Posturing? If Not, It Could Mean Economic Suicide
President Obama's climate change legislation, the so-called "clean energy" bill, has passed the House of Representatives and is now being debated in the Senate. The president claims the bill will "spark a clear energy transformation that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and confront the carbon pollution that threatens our planet."Niagara Gazette - COLUMN: The EPA vs. boats, mowers and jobs
In reality, the bill will have no impact whatsoever on global warming.
We’ve been told time and time again that the exhaust from gas-powered engines used in our vehicles contributes to the degradation of the environment. In the 1970s we were told that the excessive fumes would cool the Earth and bring on a new ice age. In the 1990s and 2000s the tune switched: The carbon dioxide would warm the Earth, melt the polar ice caps and bring on mass starvation.
With Al Gore and similar Chicken Littles relentlessly driving that point home, regulatory agencies tend to overact. After all, if they don’t do something, that one-degree difference in air temperature might condemn a billion people to death. That’s where folks like the California Air Resource Board come in to devise some truly-ridiculous regulations.
