Jay Rockefeller on Obama: "And He's Beginning to Not Be Believable to Me." - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com
Jay Rockefeller said, according to Real Clear Politics, "He says 'I'm for clean coal,' and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn't say it in here. And he doesn't say it in the minds of my own people. And he's beginning to not be believable to me."

One wonders where Sen. Rockefeller was during the campaign, when President Obama promised to "bankrupt" the coal industry as part of his proposed cap-and-trade policy. The theory was that burning coal caused carbon to be pumped into the air, which in turn caused global warming or climate change or something. That this policy would prove to be very inconvenient, to say the least, to coal miners West Virginia, among other places, seemed to have escaped Sen. Rockefeller during the campaign.
[Another amazing admission from an alarmist: AGW is only a hypothesis, not a proven fact; there is no consensus]
As with all science, consensus and certainty is usually not reached until a hypothesis has been proven as fact -- and in the case of global warming, that could prove disastrous for all of us, even those who today believe it's nothing more than a spurious scare-tactic.
