Graham won't bow to [non-idiots] - Local / Metro - TheState.com

He hopes compromise legislation he is working on will be more palatable to lawmakers who have expressed concern about two other greenhouse gas bills that "don't have a snowball's chance in hell" of passing Congress.

Speaking to more than 100 people at a climate change conference in Columbia, Graham said Congress needs to act to control greenhouse gases or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will adopt its own regulations.

"I have come to conclude that greenhouse gases and carbon pollution is not a good thing," Graham said. "All the cars and trucks and plants that have been in existence since the Industrial Revolution, spewing out carbon day-in and day-out, will never convince me that's a good thing for your children and the future of the planet."

Reports of Climate Bill Death are Greatly Exaggerated « Climate Progress

Many pundits (and Democrats) think it’s poison.

Anyway, I’m not wholly confident a climate bill will pass in 2010—it’s the Senate, after all, and lots can go awry. But none of the early obituaries for cap-and-trade sound very persuasive. What’s more, it’s worth considering what would happen if Dems did abandon climate change this year. The party’s expected to lose seats in both the House and the Senate this fall, and there aren’t a whole lot of green Republicans on the ballot (especially now that Charlie Crist could get snuffed out in Florida). So how will tackling carbon emissions get any easier in 2011 or 2012? It feels a little extreme to say, “It’s now or never,” but on this issue, that’s a real possibility…

JR:  I certainly agree it would be harder in 2011 or 2012, since the Dems are likely to lose some two dozen House seats and possibly a few Senate seats (albeit some to “moderates”).  If you want a bill, this is the year to pull out all the stops.

In the last week, America alone set 1200 new records for cold and snow. More will die because of cold temperatures, but we are supposed to surrender our property to stop warming predicted by climate models that didn’t see this cold coming.

Climate Change Fraud - Tim Ball: Depoliticizing the Weather Forecasters

In 2008 I wrote, “They define the rules, determine who the “nominated experts “ are, and have the final say in the numbers used. This is in keeping with their process of control and determination to prove their dictated goal of finding a human source of global warming.” Now the public knows the extent of the deceptions. We are dangerously close to what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1950s when, “Under Lysenko’s guidance, science was guided not by the most likely theories, backed by appropriately controlled experiments, but by the desired ideology. Science was practiced in the service of the State, or more precisely, in the service of ideology.” We can shut down national and international government run weather and climate bureaucracies except as data collection agencies.
