After Fat Al made 100 million selling his “oceans are going to rise 20 or 30 feet” nonsense . . . . the clown buys a 9 million dollar oceanfront property in Kalifornistan. Even Fat Al knows the whole thing is a Scam, but Al and his friends are getting very wealthy. Time for all citizens to wake up . . . CO2 is a rare, benign, colorless, odorless gas than enables plants to grow. Twice as much CO2 makes plants grow faster . . . nothing more, greenhouse operators do this all the time.

Barb….what do you do personally to reduce your own carbon footprint? Are you choosing to do all that you can do or are you waiting for the government to do it for you? Are you an environmentalist in name only (i.e. you do nothing to reduce your own carbon footprint if it costs you something in convenience)

Right now, you have the freedom to recycle, line dry your laundry, place a windmill or other alternate form of energy on your property. You also have the freedom to set your thermostat at whatever temperature you are willing to pay for. You can choose to ride a bike to work or run errands or to drive your car or SUV to do so. You have the freedom to exchange your current vehicle for a hybrid one (if you can afford to do it).

What is the reality of Cap and Trade? It includes a “smart grid” that in essence will be forced compliance to that little program that our utility companies offer us now – you know the one where you volunteer to have the company turn off your heat/air or water heater at certain high demand times for a few minutes or longer? In order to comply with new Government regulations, the power companies will use that little program to set our energy usage during heat or cold spells….its nothing more than a modern version of rolling brown outs or rolling black outs used in Iraq…..This will be in addition to the necessary “skyrocketing” of electricity bills promised by Candidate Obama during the election process (and ignored by the Americans who voted him in). Why do they want the cost of electricity to skyrocket? To force you into using less energy.

It is increasing the cost of gas-ing up those fuel guzzling vehicles so that folks are forced to trade them in instead of choosing to do so.

It is about taxing our food choices to force us into buying what the government considers healthy foods instead of what it considers not so healthy.

And what about China, the most polluting country in the world – will they also be participating in this European approved “leveling” of the playing field? NOPE. So any change to America’s “carbon footprint” will be made void by China’s continuing polluting of our world…..

Cap and Trade is nothing but a “feel good” strategy that does nothing more than raise the cost of everything we will purchase which will lower the standard of living in the wealthiest country in the world – it is another form of Wealth Re – Distribution. And like all Socialist ideas, it will line the pockets of the politicians while destroying the freedoms and standard of living of those they fooled into allowing it to happen.

Wake up….

Climate change and the environment go hand and hand. Global warming is not a hoax or even global cooling that is supposedly coming.Both sides have facts to back themselves up(and hype)and should be used as warning signs not end of the world philosophy. Jerry D. 6:30am “proved” that it swings both ways. Our sun controls much of what happens on earth and most of that we can’t do much about it. Maybe wildlife that lost it’s habitat or moved farther north will now return to their old territories.(if the climate is now changing back). Coal and oil aren’t going anywhere for many years,but needed change is taking place. New ideas are numerous and the unworkable solutions will be weeded out. We went from heavy landline usage for phones to cell phones,gas guzzling cars to more fuel efficient vehicles,from uninsulated homes to almost all being insulated,from mega computers to laptops. Although some of the new products create problems (battery disposal,chemicals,ect) most of the change has been good. The environmental problems of oil and coal are tremendous even as they have been made cleaner. We need multiple solutions for a better future and not just drilling and digging. Most Americans have seen what happens when the environment is ignored and we’d rather not go back to those days.

All the climate control bills in the world will not change nature.
But maybe we could do something constructive…like stuffing the Iceland Volcano full of (American) cash to plug it up…yeah that’ll work, sure…

what do you expect from kerry net worth around 100 million that wanted tax payers to build a 12 million building for the late and not so great life guard kennidy, a few hundred more a month is chump change on there bills people like kerry and liberman and most in congress spend more on wine wemen and song in one month then we the stupid average tax payer make in a year, mabe the voter will tell kerry and liberman and graham and anyone that votes for cap and tax,you sell us out and we will vote you out,, vote in nov 2010 and 2012 and any polecat that wants [comperhensive immigration]amnesty if your rep sez we need new laws vote them out we need enforcement of the law not more laws

Kerry is like Edward Kenndy both lier’s and one is dead and the other on is still here.And to shoot one’s self just to get medal’s he’s no Vietnam Vet.I don’t see how they can say Kenndy was a good rep.He Killed a young lady,and his family got it hush up.

party shouldn’t make a difference when it comes to leaving a carbon footprint. i don’t know whether there’s a real global warming, and i don’t care. i still think we should recycle, and clean up the air, water, and earth. drilling in the ocean was just proven to be a terrible idea. louisiana will be devestated by the rig explosion, and our food supply will be destroyed for many years. and we sure don’t need to be leaving a nuclear mess for generations to come to deal with. and, yes, i’m a republican. belonging to a party doesn’t mean you must agree with everything they push. i’m a republican because there is no viable 3rd party that holds more of my beliefs. go tea party!!

am lib, now what job do you have, or ever do do? I rea;izer your mama set the ac and the heater for you all the time, but in the real world, your trike is only for kids. Transportation fuel tax, is going to raise the cost on every one and everything.. Climate change is BS. Climate is never static, and with volcanos now the earth will ave even more of a cool down, dumbass! Man is real a roll if he thinks he can control the climate, on twix their ears.

It’s another scam for the purpose of another bill for the government to control even more of our lives, destroy the economy and jobs while making a fortune for those in charge of this scam. This does nothing for global warming (also a scam). How does trading air solve any problem? It doesn’t. You don’t actually reduce the amount of air, just trade the air you don’t need so someone else can buy it. Really! Would you buy air? No! This is just one big financial scheme that will cost Americans in every aspect of our lives. Prices will skyrocket (Obama agrees), jobs decrease and we all suffer yet again.

Ok,what is afoot here? To propose this legislation, at this time is, SEEMINGLY, political suicide! Are we,truly,to believe that a Constitutional Law Professor, is really this ignorant of the situation? I think not!! What ever they have in the planning for the November election must be a doosie!

In case any of you have missed it.

This bill has one purpose and that is to usher in the New World Order.
If you don’t know what the NWO is you need to research it.

It in a word is a Global Governance.
The head of this global governance is none other than obama.

This goes much deeper that this but I cannot post all of the information here.

I have one question. Doesn’t the grass and trees breathe in CO2 to live and give off oxygen so we can live, isn’t cutting CO2 like cutting our own throat? Also, if this was such a mess then we should be dead from that last volcanic activity in Iceland. There was enough carbon output that it should have wiped us out by now if we go by what the climate psuedo-scientists are saying. It’s a big ponzy scheme. Did you see what the budget for next year is projected to be in increased taxes and charges the government will push onto us? Only $648,000,000,000. Aw, what the hell, I don’t need any money for my family to eat. Those thieving, conniving, lying, bastards! It reminds me of the story of”The Kings New Wardrobe”. If none of you have read it, I suggest you do. Then you will understand better the scheme in which they are working on.

Diagram of a scam. What part of no more spending do they not understand? When we the people are yelling at our represenatives to stop the unnecessary spending. They must think we mean “Know more spending” and “know new taxes” remember in november

IT’S PAST TIME FOR AMERICANS TO GO ON A NATIONAL STRIKE UNTIL ALL THIS SOCIALIST CRAP IS REPEALED AND THE AUTHORS ARE JAILED FOR HIGH TREASON. OBA-MAO NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR HIS ANTI-AMERICAN AGENDA, IMPEACHED AND THEN IMPRISONED FOR IMPERSONATING A REAL PRESIDENT. WHO DO THEY THINK IS GOING TO PAY THESE OUTRAGEOUS TAXES? THE 47% WHO PAY NO TAXES AT ALL, THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE LEGAL FOR THEIR VOTES, OR THE MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED AND UNDER-EMPLOYED?? IT’S TIME FOR A CLEAN SWEEP OF ALL THESE DEMOCRATS (COMMIES) AND KEEP THEM OUT FOREVER.

… Of course rightwingers don’t give a Hoot about climate change or the enviorment …. The benifits of offshore oil drilling are ZERO to the American consumer and the risk is to high to allow….. Even had the BP platform in the gulf been a sucess you’d never see a drop in price or increased supply at the pumps… BP would still be selling that oil to china….. Anybody claiming global warming isn’t real is either brain dead or just a tool to rightwing pro oil politics….it’s time to use the Sun, wind and we can make sure Nuclear energy sources are safe…..

If any one makes money thru the chicago climate exchange it should be just as illegal as high treason because they are dead set on destroying our country.I love to make a honest dollar as much as anyone,but to sell something that don’t exist and pocket the tax payer’s money is criminal! I fill like I’m living in oz nothing seem’s real anymore. I bet if you look close ketchup kerry and the Leb.have got something invested somewhere in climategate.Just look at how much Gore and that crook raines stand to gain.The American people have swallowed alot the past year and a half mainly because they created so much chaoas we couldn’t catch our breath.The American people have caught on to the game.NO ONE want’s to hurt the enviroment but with so many trillions at stake a just a handfull postioned to gain from it that pill can be swallowed or shoved down our throats.Knowing the progressives they will probly try suppositories!

Talk about a scam in the making, by that I mean – one thats been in the works for years.

Well the American Power Act is just that, FYI – that by the way is the new name for “Cap and Trade,” Its the mother of all scam’s this one will make Berrnie Madoff look like a Girl Scout who sold one single bad boxs of cookies.

Rather than the Madoff scam of where (you had to seek him out) so the Unions who got taken to the cleaners were there and asked to Berrnie Madoff to rape them.

This scam is being billed as something its not nor has it ever been anything but what it is; a in a WOLF in sheep suit.

Again People look up the (CCX and the Joyce Foundation) whos smack dap in the center of this? BarryO, Al Gore, Fanny May’s Franklin Rains who has already stolen from the American people over $98 million dollars by cooking the books at Fanny May, people he should be in JAIL now – not sitting on an advisory board for the Government.

{This scam has nothing to do with climate change,} it has only one thing going on thats to “RAPE the American Tax Payers,” and to move us straight into a Marxist state, if passed 1/2 of the worlds weath just going Puff in a nan second like we saw in October 2008 will seem like childs play.

Do your home work here people if this one pass’s your dead in the water, this is the end game run.
Can I make this anymore clear.

Just wait until you can’t heat your home when it’s -10* outside, or use the air when its 100* in the shade.
Or your evap coolers in the South West when its 125* in the shade.
Or when gas for your car is $10.00 PLUS per gallon, keep in mind that a 15 gallon tank will be $150.00, the normal family fills their cars gas tank 4 times per month, so thats $600.00 a month just for gas.

Forget about air or heat – for you folks that live in the North East where oil heat is big – to fill your oil tank will no longer be $1000.00 per month as it is now, it will be 6 times if not more than that amount – thats if you can even get it.

So now ask yourselfs – how many of you can afford the $600.00 for gas just for one car per month?

So what do you think this will do to the cost of your FOOD? Double what it is now, how about 10 times what it is now, so if your paying $600.00 per month for food, make it $6000.00 per month if you can even get food!

How about your JOB?
As in will you still have one? What are the odds?
Lets see you work for even say $125K per year, so take away 30% in Fed tax’s then State tax’s and you know they are going up so just for now add in 8% now thats 38% off your $125K
Plus your food, heat and air, gas, plus other cost will now be more than you make per year Gross.

This is the end run people, we have to stop this dead in the water, I mean DEAD as in no life left in this bill expose it it for the rotten core of it.

If we don’t stop this bill cold dead, it will be the end of your life as you know it, you will need to be fitting for your new chains.

That is so Al Gore BarryO & John Kerry and Joe Leiberman can fly around on your dime and enjoy themselfs while you sit in a card board box under a bridge some where eating mud and rocks and tree bark.

Its time that you all stand up and be counted, again CALL your congress and senate persons, talk to everyone you know – hell even the people you don’t know get the word out this needs to be stopped NOW.

Call your state reps and tell them “DO NOT VOTE for the AMERICAN POWER ACT BILL.”

another attempt to ram this bill down our throats i think this is a scam on the the american people as for kerry saying he is a viet nam vet you are a fake.

Little more can be said than has already been put forth. CO2 as a pollutant has already been debunked. I recently received correspondence from NC Senator Kay Hagan (D) in response to a note I sent her about climate change. In short, because the EPA has declared CO2 to be a pollutant, it must be true. (Gag)! Read Marc Morano’s latest release on global cooling, it’s an eye-opener: http://www.climatedepot.com/a/6574/Geologist-Declares-global-warming-is-over–Warns-US-Climate-Conference-of-Looming-Threat-of-Global-Cooling

I say again that these old tax and tax aswholes should be transported to Mexico and take their crooked ideas with them. What the hell are they trying to do to the man and woman that are struggling now with the low wages and 16,000,000 out of work. Where do they intend to send us? Are we now expendable so that they may make more and more money and turn their backs on the majority of the citizens of these United States. Fvk them and send them packing the next time the three of them come up for election

This climate bill is the last thing needed to perpetrate the biggest scam in world history which is the sale and regulation of air! The Chicago Climate Exchange will be the organzation that funnels the money. Check out the investors! Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, BP Gas, and many more. It was set up by funds that Obama was instrumental in obtaining from the Joyce Foundation as he sat on the board of the Joyce Foundation from 1994-2002. How convenient. The CCX is supposed to do 10 trillion (yes, trillion) dollars a year in trade for something that is not produced, you cannot see, smell, touch it or feel it. It is a SCAM!!! The global warming theory is bad science yet that is what this climate bill is all about. Obama and the whole democratic administration and all obamas associated and friends are nothing buy Chicago thugs, socialists, marxists, mao lovers, communists who are promoting the socialist takeover of America and will squeeze every dime out of Americans so that they can become filthy, stinking rich. The average American will live in poverty so that the government can control our whole lives. What is happening to America is like watching a child die. I pray to God every day because He is the One who will help us. He already sent a very cold, long winter to show what a scam global warming is. I know that He will expose these scamsters and how rotten Obama is. In November Obama will know exactly how the American people feel and what they think of his communist policies. I never thought that I would ever see communists running our country. Keep praying.

WELL HERE IS ONE MORE CASE OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES TRYING TO RAM A WORTHLESS BILL DOWN OUR THROATS.
I AM SO SICK OF THESE PEOPLE I COULD SCREAM.IT IS TIME TO TELL THEM ALL TO GET ON A SPACESHIP AND LEAVE THE PLANET AND DON’T BOTHER TO COME BACK!!!!

I would hope these guys are as generous when the craft the new immigration bill. Possibly they will allow states along the border the power to also veto that legislation.

I’ll donate some solid balsa nickels so saul alinsky’s #1 camp-follower, Kerry Poppins and Joe the Duh can celebrate and suck down Shirley Temples at their favorite bar. As for Limply Graham, blah,
feh and bfd. Progressivism’s gift to politics, the prez, has already SAID that cap & trade (ooops, the American Power Act) will result in SKYROCKETING energy prices for Americans.
With anti-American yahoos like Lieberman, Kerry and Obummer watching our backs, America needs no enemies. The Three Stooges were more entertaining, more patriotic and were more functional human beings than the twisted, perverse triumvirate of Obubba, Lieberman and Kerry.
Maybe they’ll get together and write a book on how they ‘saved’ the working man and his kids when America’s energy rates go through the roof. Screw the book, put the movie on hold and rewrite the script. Call the damned thing Titanic II.
