Power Line<\/a> posted an article today about the G8 summit meeting in Rome and the struggle to come to an agreement on global regulations to combat climate change.  The problem in reaching an agreement seems to be that China and India are unwilling to accept any restrictions on their carbon output.  The article points out:<\/p>\n

“The implications for Waxman-Markey, a version of which will soon be taken up by the Senate, are huge. If India and China–the world’s biggest emitter of CO2–decline to limit their carbon emissions, it is impossible to claim that Waxman-Markey will have any discernible impact on the Earth’s climate, even if you buy the anthropogenic global warming hoax hook, line and sinker. The only impact the bill could have would be to hobble America’s economy and pave the way for China and India to replace the U.S. as the economic superpowers of the 21st century.<\/em><\/p>\n

The great advantage India and China have over the U.S. is that their elites have not gone suicidal. Those nations have no intention of sacrificing their economic well-being on the global warming altar. Undoubtedly the leading scientists in both countries have advised their governments that AGW is pseudo-science fueled by power-hungry politicians and charlatans like Al Gore, who has gotten rich by pretending to believe that burning gasoline will destroy the Earth, while relaxing aboard a gasoline-burning <\/em>houseboat a third the size of a football field<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

At this point, anyone who votes for tax-and-trade can no longer pretend that the bill has anything to do with climate. Rather, it is a vote that no manufacturing jobs should be created in the U.S., and that in the future, all such employment will belong to Chinese and Indian workers.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The <\/em>question of man’s impact on climate change is not settled science.  Changes in climate occurred long before the industrial age.  To cripple the American economy for the sake of a questionable idea does not make sense.  I believe that any Congressman who continues to push for this legislation will pay a heavy price at the ballot box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
