O’ Reilly lies about global warming and makes Glenn Beck look like a genius

The irony of O’ Reilly making the claim that “7 of the last 8 years” were “the warmest on record” and his anger over the Obama administration agenda to launch the biggest tax hike in the history of the United States is staggering. O’ Reilly is basically saying that he is angry that these criminals in Washington who want to do this to the American people, but he agrees as to their reasoning behind it!

The United States urged China today to join in setting mid-century targets to cut carbon emissions, an appeal unlikely to make much headway as Beijing demands developed countries impose tougher goals for themselves.

The US Energy Secretary Steven Chu told students at Tsinghua University: “We are all in this together so we have to fix it together … What the US and China do in the coming decades will in a large part determine the fate of the world."

Kalk speaks out against 'cap-and-trade'

Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk continued to speak out against the so-called cap-and-trade bill before Congress in two speeches in Fargo and Minot on Tuesday.

The three-member PSC in May said the sweeping energy policy, which passed the U.S. House in June with Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., voting no, would double electricity bills for North Dakota consumers. Kalk said the bill should be defeated in the Senate.

Kalk said policy would financially hamper states like North Dakota, where 95 percent of its power comes from coal, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Coal, a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, also makes up about half of the nation's energy supply.

"It is a flawed bill which will drive up energy costs without any true environmental benefit," said Kalk, a Republican serving his first term on the PSC. "If passed into law, it will have a devastating impact on our state and nation."

Chu Warns China on Emissions - WSJ.com

While acknowledging that the world's developed Western nations have contributed most of the carbon dioxide already trapped in the atmosphere, Mr. Chu warned that China could add more in the next few decades than everything the U.S. emitted since the Industrial Revolution. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas.

"The developed world did make the problem, I admit that," Mr. Chu said in the speech to students of China's top science and engineering school. "But the developing world can make it much worse."

Painting a grim picture of a world faced with making a tough choice between "something bad might happen or something very bad might happen" even if global warming is addressed, Mr. Chu urged China to invest more in energy efficient technologies in partnership with the U.S.
