I worry there will be so much damage done between now and January, 2011, it will take decades to recover. When those newly-elected Senators and Congressmen take office they can begin the job of putting the central government back iin its place, reducing the excessive power concentrated in D.C. now. there were many more in Congress who would speak up as willingly and correctly as you do, Congressman, there would be hope of preserving our Republic.

What?? “The jury is still out”?? Really?? More here, from way back in January.

But, never let a few new climate change skeptics, who used to be proponents, stand in the way of what’s really a power grab.

This is just another hidden tax for that 95% of America that was promised a tax cut. It is nice to see a politician who stood against ACORN and is not standing up against cap and trade.

Yet we're expected to support such revolutionary change based on theories and speculation. As noted above nothing in the global warming alarmist repertoire has been proven. Every bit of it is based on wildly speculative models. Al Gore can't even define the CO2 - temperature cause-effect relationship properly to boot. Why is it that we are so certain that leaving people to act on their own is evil yet giving the government unlimited use of force and control over our lives is moral? There is not a single idea coming out of the democratic party that does not involve collectivism and collectivism is slavery. I just wish those who want slavery had the fortitude to call it what it is.

The advocates of Gore-ism won't pick one, its just the pending doom that allows politicians to "do something." Even if the something is worse than the threat. 10 years ago it was global warming, then, oops, it changed because the globe isn't warming anymore. WTH? If they can predict the weather why didn't they know it was going to cool down? If they can predict the weather 10, 20 or 50 years down the road, why can't they get tomorrow right? Tomorrow should be easy. BLUF: Humans don't contribute to or control the earth's climate changes, we didn't when the dinosaurs died out, we didn't when the ice age stopped, we don't now. The plan we need to deal with that is called "suck it up and drive on"! Pick one!

There is always something to be disagreed and global warming is one of those things. Really, if there was global warming then why has this year been a year that we have gotten some really cold temps? I'm sure you and that powerful voodoo you practice can explain that. I think you need to take a step back and look things in the point of reality. The next time you come back remember that.

Lastly, you better reevaluate this whole concensus you seem to believe in, because last I checked no one has proven any of the theories. So ipso factu all hypothesis with no verification, validation or accreditation. BTW, the scientific community has not all agreed that its happening especially after this year.
