I won’t bother to debate “Global Warming” or “Climate Change” or even the fact that despite what you may see on TV Polar bears can indeed swim, and the polar ice caps are expanding (just facts, but it does appear facts are just what the government tells you they are). Instead I give you a series of links to the latest government control grid legislation which was rammed through the House on Friday evening. This “bill”, at some point titled: HR-2454″, had 300 pages added to it at around 3:00 a.m. Friday morning, bringing the total reportedly to 1200 plus pages, and literally zero time to be read before a vote was mandated. Let that sink in – have you ever read even a 500 page enjoyable book? How long did it take you to read? It wasn’t in legal jargon, and referencing other documents of varying lengths as well I’d be willing to bet.

Climate Bill is a pile of Shit!

Maybe our Elected members of Congress should vote NO on something they don’t read first?!?

and here’s a link to the bill:

I predict a false economic recovery will be hyped if (more likely when) this Bill gets to and goes through the Senate, and all these people who have been out of work for months and months on end have jobs again thanks to the government (and decades of the US Citizens tax dollars). When everyone’s taxes, energy bills and more all start to go up dramatically, you will find yourselves pitted against the people now working in the system, and feeding, housing and clothing their families. Survival is a very powerful motivator.

    I often read 1200 page documents written in legalese in under 20 minutes! If I were a politician I would vote no automatically on any bill I was given next to no time to read, just on principle.

    here here… i fully resonate with this post. the cap-and-trade is, at its underlying core, business as usual. pure crap.

    there is a teme building based from a consensus of leading climate, geology, biology, epidemiology, and sociology scientists predicting a tipping-point regarding systemic worldwide troubles at only a decade out. if we do nothing we trigger an out-of-control spiral of water pollution, erosion, shifting climate bands, mass extinction, and resource-scarcity warfare.

    instead of wishing your kids a congratulatory message at their high school graduation, you can offer them a heart-felt welcome into the thunderdome of suffering. …sorry son, you can only have your single ration of clean water every other day.
