A growing number of business owners and taxpayers are mobilizing nationwide against the House-approved cap-and-trade energy bill, which would reduce energy consumption but could raise energy prices and harm small businesses.

Mike Wilson, who led a protest in Cincinnati of about 100 people on Saturday across from the offices of Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Ohio, said he was appalled by the 1,500-page legislation, which was fast-tracked by House leaders for a vote Friday. A 310-page amendment was slapped onto the bill Friday morning.

"It was, quite frankly, criminal passing a bill that you didn't read," said Wilson, founder of the anti-tax group Cincinnati Tea Party.

And that, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson testified, leaves out the benefits of addressing global warming, such as more jobs, less money flowing overseas to oil producers and averting the floods, drought and disease expected to come when the Earth's temperature rises.

"Can anyone honestly say that the head of an American household would not spend a dollar a day to safeguard the well-being of his or her children ... and to create new American jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced?" she asked.

Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the top Republican on the panel, predicted that Americans would feel the pinch of higher energy prices.

"You can be sure of this: once the American public realize what this legislation will do to their wallets, they will resoundingly reject it," Inhofe said. "Perhaps that explains why we are rushing cap-and-trade through the Senate."

I will try to keep this short but just so you know where I am coming from, I am a grey haired 60 year old farmer who believes that global warming is the biggest lie, biggest scam, hoax, and fraud ever pushed onto the people of this world. Also I am a High School graduate who remembers a little bit about science and the carbon cycle. I also believe we have a hungry world that needs feeding. Depending on whose estimates you believe there are about 6.7 billion people out there with about 800 million who are undernourished of which 10,000 per day dying of malnutrition or diseases caused by inadiquate nutrition so we need increased crop yields to feed them.
I remember my Vocational Ag instructor, Mr. Fred Morris, in 1965 telling us about how it is just logical that an increase in CO2 in the air would increase crop yields. An experiment had been done by putting canisters of dry ice in a corn field. The corn near the canisters yielded more which supports the theory. I also remember reading about an experiment at the University of Arizona which was done in a greenhouse which also got bigger yields supporting the theory and yields were increased more under stress conditions. Why don't we here more about these experiments from the environmental wackoos? Why aren't more experiments being done?
