Kill carbon dioxide regulations | Tom Harris | Financial Post

In his Senate testimony, Kent supported the fantasy that humanity could limit the Earth’s temperature rise to “meet the two-degree target set out in the Cancun Agreement,” adding: “In the case of climate change, our goal remains to have a new international regime that includes all major emitters and which will take concrete actions to limit global warming.”

After all, nothing says "I love you" to a Democrat better than a public plea for more taxes.

In any case, the opposition to the pipeline is not only tainted, but intellectually and scientifically bankrupt. BOLD Nebraska are correct when they screech that there is an agenda being served here, but it is not big oil, environmentalism, or even green energy; it appears to be garden-variety crony capitalism, an Obama administration specialty.
