Brown spoke in favor of a variety of energy options that include solar, limited drilling, wind and nuclear power. Brown said the Copenhagen Treaty is a good idea if other countries go along with it. He said America is doing the "yeoman's work" when it comes to environmental conservation. Brown is not in favor of the Cape Wind program, describing the location as inappropriate. He was also critical of the cap-and-trade program, which limits corporate pollution while providing businesses with the ability to go beyond the cap if they can offset the damage.

Robinson said he supports the federal goal of 20 percent reduced carbon emissions by 2020, but not the cap-and-trade plan politicians are eyeing.

Martin Hertzberg: The scientific hoax of the century | SummitDaily.com
Well, welcome to “The Theater of the Absurd”! The next performance is in Copenhagen this December. Fed by the anecdotal clap trap of know-nothing journalists and environmental lobbyists, a group of scientifically illiterate diplomats will be proposing draconian measures of world carbon control that will waste enormous amounts of money to solve a nonexistent problem. Copenhagen will be “a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” The conclusions of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are fraudulent concoctions that should be thoroughly repudiated lest it continue to discredit the United Nation's legitimate functions: its programs to improve the standard of living of the underdeveloped nations; its programs to combat hunger and poverty; its support of the conventions against genocide and torture; and its World Court prosecution of war criminals.

Environmentalists don't worry that volcanos emit sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, naturally cooling the earth. But many are dead set against humans doing the same thing. Why? Because, to the radical environmentalist, anything “natural” is good, and anything human is bad. Such environmentalists really don't care about the earth's temperature. What they care about is limiting human activity.
