The Reference Frame: U.S. elections: jogging towards socialism slowed down

The new likely speaker, John Boehner (GOP), is an AGW alarmist so from the climate viewpoint, don't expect too much progress in the Congress.

In California, the proposition 23 has probably failed, scoring only 42% after 30% of the precincts are counted.

It means that their state-wide AB32 bill will continue to regulate carbon dioxide. Most of the Californians have chosen the feel-good political correctness and anti-industrial utopias over proper science and healthier economy.

The voters were also bought by a much higher amount of money that the champions of CO2 regulation spent on the campaign. Much of the money they spent on promoting the pro-AB32 rubbish was already stolen from the taxpayers and companies via the AB32 bill itself. California may have gotten into a vicious circle in which the AGW liars and crooks will be ever richer and they will therefore be ever more capable to corrupt and fool others and further increase their influence.
