The American Thinker<\/a> has a post up today about Cap and Trade legislation and global warming.  The article points out:<\/p>\n

“What (other than extremely credulous) could you call a member of Congress who believes that by lowering the standard of living of 5% of the world’s population (that includes you, me, and everyone else living in America) that the Congress — by passing a law — can reduce the temperature of the earth or lower sea levels?  Simple common sense, not conflicted science is required to know better.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font>
<\/em> <\/div>\n
“Only superstitious, credulous, and pompous politicians would even consider voting for such a bill … sight unseen!  You would have to first be irrational and have unfounded fears of something that doesn’t exist; you would then have to be prone to believe in the highly improbable — and then vain enough to believe you can change the climate system of the earth, even while most of the rest of the world is fully enjoying the benefits of carbon use.”<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

“Conversely, a true worldwide effort to regulate and reduce particulate, sulfur and other pollutants on a cost benefit basis in developing countries would provide a real and significant improvement to the world’s environment, without empty sacrifices of American lives and liberties.  The choice between the two possibilities should not be difficult, even for the U.S. Congress. It incorporates, after all, their oath of office to protect Americans from enemies foreign and domestic, and to defend the constitution.”<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

This definitely makes more sense than anything currently being discussed by Congress.<\/font><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
