Michelle Malkin » Ghoulish science + Obamacare = health hazard

Who is Holdren’s intellectual mentor, Harrison Brown? He was a “distinguished member” of the International Eugenics Society whom Holdren later worked with on a book about – you guessed it – world population and fertility. Brown advocated the same population control-freak measures Holdren put forth in Ecoscience. In “The Challenge to Man’s Future,” Brown envisioned a regime in which the “number of abortions and artificial inseminations permitted in a given year would be determined completely by the difference between the number of deaths and the number of births in the year previous.”

Brown exhorted readers to accept that “we must reconcile ourselves to the fact that artifical means must be applied to limit birth rates.” If we don’t, Brown warned, we faced a planet “with a writhing mass of human beings.” He likened the global population to a “pulsating mass of maggots.”

They might forgive Obama for being a liberal if he governs effectively, but they are not likely to forgive him for being a conventional liberal. The face he is wearing is beginning to look an awful lot like Walter Mondale's.

One former CFTC official said lawmakers are right to be concerned about creation of new carbon markets. "Those skeptical of carbon markets probably have a very strong ground to stand on," said Michael Greenberger, who headed CFTC's Division of Trading and Markets under President Clinton and is now a professor at the University of Maryland School of Law.

"My suspicion is that Dorgan and Cantwell see right now we are in the status quo situation with extreme volatility in crude oil, heating oil" and others, Greenberger said. "The carbon market is a market that will be sensitive to volatility, the physical commodity [what physical commodity?] will be shrinking while I expect, and others expect, the [underlying derivatives] market will be expanding. In a market of that sort I think the betting would be it would be an exceedingly volatile market."
