Global warming hysteria is running amuck once again. This time, the G8 has promised to cut the carbon emissions of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States by 80 percent, and by 50 percent globally. Unsurprisingly, China, Brazil, and India made no such commitment.
In the least, this is economic suicide. The U.S.—and the industrialized, free world—depends on carbon fuels coal, oil, gasoline, and natural gas for transportation, electricity, home-heating, and much, much more. Without, the economy will not grow.
Repeat: Without carbon-based fuels, the economy will not grow.
That means businesses going out of business, unemployment lines as far as the eye can see, unaffordable energy, and deliberate, intentional economic recession if not depression. All in the name of "saving" planet. In the name of "science." Only, it's not.
As you know, man-made global warming "science" has been seriously brought into question, and with so many discrepancies, blindly following the now discredited climate change prediction models of the UN International Panel on Climate Change's modeling computers that are not evidence-based by government officials is the last straw.
Please call your representatives in the Senate and tell them to not move an inch on the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation that is certain to destroy our economy if implemented. Reducing carbon emissions necessarily means reducing economic activities like driving to work. Call your representatives in the House, too. They're going to get another opportunity to vote on a conference version of the bill if we fail to stop this in the Senate, and they need to make sure they're voting "Nay" when this comes up again, whether or not they voted "Yay" the first time around. The switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
