Bankers, lawyers, investors disappointed: Shucks « JoNova

Quick and hurry! Rush to be slaves to corruption, crime, bullies, bankers, and an international bureaucracy redistributing money to make up for alleged carbon “crimes”. Don’t check the science whatever you do. We trust the IPCC.

Remind me again how many degrees cooler we’ll be if we buy all these “permits”?

NFU: [With our imagined climate swindle in place, farmers will be rolling in money!]

In testimony submitted to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works today, Johnson said while he is pleased to see the Senate begin to consider climate change legislation, the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act currently lacks the robust and flexible agriculture offset program necessary for America's farmers and ranchers to be able to mitigate increased costs that will occur as a result of a cap and trade program.

"According to USDA, producers will economically benefit from an agriculture offset program. In the short term all cost increases are offset and in the long term agriculture will see returns of $4-5 dollars for every dollar of new costs incurred," Johnson said.

Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson: Cap-and-trade will not pass this Congress - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

A cap-and-trade bill to address climate change cannot pass the Congress this session, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) claimed Friday.

Nelson, a centrist Democrat whose vote is key to leaders wielding its 60-vote majority in the Senate, said he and his constituents had not been sold on the cap-and-trade system proposed in House and Senate bills to address global warming.

"No," Nelson simply responded when asked if those cap-and-trade bills can pass through this Congress during an interview on CNBC.

"I haven't been able to sell that argument to my farmers, and I don't think they're going to buy it from anybody else," Nelson said. "I think at the end of the day, the people who turn the switch on at home will be disadvantaged."
