Obama calls House bill on Global Warming “A Good Start”

As we have predicted, it is a slippery slope we are on when we allow activists to garner credibility with their doom and gloom predictions of global calamity.  When it is repeated long enough and loud enough, eventually others will begin to believe it, no matter how outlandish the claim.  And not long after that we will see laws and legislation that will cost us dearly to try and counteract the calamity.  This is what happens when people like Al Gore, touting ‘junk science’ are given encouragement.  And so it begins. 

With the election of a liberal president, and control of both the house and senate in the hands of the liberal democrats, there is little the conservative side of reason can do now to stop a ridiculous bill from being ram-roaded into law.  The American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act just recently passed through the house.   This bill with more than 1500 pages has no less than 397 new government regulations, 1090 new economic mandates.  It sailed through with relatively little debate as debate was severely squelched by the Speaker Of The House, the lovely Nancy Pelosi.  All of the Republican suggested amendments were thrown out, save one.  And Representatives were given all of nine hours to read through the 1500 pages, ensuring that no one has a handle on everything that is in this huge bill. 

And if you think it won’t affect you, think again.  Also known as the ‘cap and trade’ bill, the ACES act will place taxes on electric generation, oil refineries and natural gas producers.  All of those new costs will be passed on to you, the consumer.  And according to those who have studied bill, the cap and trade taxes will be expensive and kill millions of jobs.  

After passage of the bill, President Obama, called it a “Good Start”.  A good start to what?  Is this just the first of other restrictive legislation placing a strangle hold on industry under the guise of curing Global Warming?  Is the start of sending this country to its doom as it tries to chase a fix to Global Warming that will never work?  It will never work because it cannot work.   Climate change cannot be affected by the efforts of man.  Is not caused by man, and cannot be reversed by man.  It is a cyclical natural phenomenon of the earth and its own forces.  It has been happening for the entire history of the earth.  And any money we spend trying to change that is money foolishly spent.  But this is what our President wants to do.
