Cap & Trade Taxes–Government Greedy Green Taxes–Based On Government Junk Science
The last thing the American people need or want are more taxes.
Enough is enough!
Cap & Trade is simply another tax–a greedy green tax–to steal the American people’s hard earned money.
In order to get support for the tax, the American Elites, mainly Liberal Progressive Democrats and maverick Republicans are trying to fool the American people into believing that their C02 emmission are the primary cause of global warming.
The American people are not buying this nonsense nor are the scientists.

Are 32,000 Scientists Enough to Question Global Warming ‘Consensus?’
“The National Press Club in Washington will today release the names of as many as 32,000 American Scientists who reject not only Kyoto-style greenhouse gas limits, but the very premise of manmade global warming itself. …”
There are several primary causes for the earth’s climate change and man’s CO2 emissions is not one of them. …”

Causes of Climate Change
Factors that influence the Earth’s climate.
“…The work of climatologists has found evidence to suggest that only a limited number of factors are primarily responsible for most of the past episodes of climate change on the Earth. These factors include:
- Variations in the Earth’s orbital characteristics.
- Atmospheric carbon dioxide variations.
- Volcanic eruptions
- Variations in solar output. …”

The hypothesis that global warming is man-made is largely based on government funded or more correctly taxpayer funded junk science of computer climate models. This hypothesis has repeatedly shown to be false.
“Professor Bob Carter uses the scientific method on the popular theory with global warming being linked to CO2 levels.
He examnines the hypothesis and it fails the test. Does this surprise you?…”

There IS a problem with global warming… it stopped in 1998

Are you a CO2 Sceptic?
An introduction to CO2 scepticism
“…The World’s Governments’ solution to apply “green taxation” as a cure in the light of an unscientific philosophy of climate change is starting to fall apart, CO2 output has continued to rise and yet global temperatures have started to fall!
One thing that needs to be established, there is no doubt whatsoever there has been a climate change in the last 50-60 years. So just because you are a CO2Sceptic, that is not on the basis that you are in some sort of denial about this change. Global climate data clearly shows that there has been an increase in world temperatures in the past few decades.
If you look closely at the Global Temperatures graph below you will notice that Annual Average Temperatures peaked in 1998, and have been in general decline ever since. Unlike temperature figures, you will see that CO2 output is still increasing.
Now ask yourself a simple question. Is CO2 driving the world’s temperature changes?
It would appear not!…”
While I certainly favor nuclear energy and the building of at least another 250 nuclear power plants to supply the electrical needs of the American people over the next hundred years, we do not need a Cap & Trade Tax Bill to accomplish this.
Simply remove all the government regulations on the books that are delaying and slowing down the building of nuclear power plants, oil and gas exploration and production both in the US and off the US coasts and the building of 100 new oil refineries.
Rapid economic development and growth, wealth, prosperity and job creation, all require more energy production, not less.
The very last thing the American people need or want is another tax on their electrical and gasoline consumption.
It is about time that the American people throw these lying and corrupt political elites of both parties out of office.
If you value your freedom, economic prosperity and your job, Vote all the government greedy green crooks out of office in November.

Lieberman-Warner Global Warming Bill Is Bad for U.S. Economy
“…The Lieberman-Warner legislation is bad for the U.S. economy for these three reasons:
1. It’s a huge new tax.
2. It will negatively impact the economy by lowering incomes.
3. And, it will establish a new trade bureaucracy.

Five Myths About the Lieberman-Warner Global Warming Legislation
‘…On June 2, the United States Senate will begin debate on America’s Climate Security Act (S. 2191), sponsored by Senators Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA). The Lieberman-Warner bill (LW) would restrict energy use to combat global warming. Like global warming itself, the bill has been the subject of considerable hype and little hard-nosed analysis. For this reason, there are several myths about it that need to be dispelled. …”
“…Overall, the Lieberman-Warner bill promises substantial hardship for the economy overall, for jobs, and for energy costs. Given current economic concerns and energy prices, this is the last thing the American people need. At the same time, the environmental benefits would likely be small to nonexistent. The Lieberman-Warner bill fails any reasonable cost-benefit test.”

The Lieberman-Warner Cap and Trade Bill: Quick Summary and Analysis
by Casey Lartigue and Ryan Balis
“…Conclusion
Imagine if, in 1966, then President Lyndon B. Johnson had tried to determine what the emissions levels of America should be 42 years into the future. Even if he had gotten together the best and brightest minds of the day, it is unlikely that his advisers would have come up with data that could have anticipated either our energy needs or our standard of living today. Although some lawmakers may be reluctant to admit it, policymakers today are similarly handicapped when it comes to predicting our future needs, technologies and circumstances.
Lieberman-Warner would embark Americans on an unprecedented and large-scale manipulation of the national economy that would depress economic growth and have both short- and long-term unintended consequences. Lieberman-Warner’s “cap-and-trade” could hamstring Americans for decades.”

Poll Shows Little Public Enthusiasm for Lieberman-Warner
“…The survey also found that 71% of Americans reject spending more for electricity, with 16% opposing spending any more than 12% extra for electricity.
A study commissioned jointly by the American Council for Capital Formation and the National Association of Manufacturers estimated that the Lieberman-Warner proposal would increase electricity prices by between 13% and 14% by 2014. Other econometric studies indicate that Lieberman-Warner would push electricity costs even higher.
When gasoline and electricity price increases are taken together, 90% of Americans reject Lieberman-Warner plan’s costs — even the low-range of the projected costs.
“As incredible as it sounds that 90% of Americans reject the Lieberman-Warner plan’s costs, the actual number who reject it may be even higher. Electricity and gasoline price hikes are only two of the costs of this proposal,” said David A. Ridenour, vice president of the National Center for Public Policy Research. “The price for food and consumer goods would also be pushed higher and many Americans would lose their jobs. You can’t merely accept energy price increases and opt out of all the other costs.”
“As amazing as it is that 90% of the public agrees on anything,” added Ridenour, “is the fact that all three of the major presidential candidates — Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama — favor a proposal the public appears to be almost unanimously against.”

McWavering: What’s the Deal-Breaker for Lieberman-Warner?
“….Although Sen. McCain has partnered with Sen. Lieberman on similar bills over the years, his stance on the current bill is a mystery. On Wednesday–as he has several times in recent weeks–Sen. McCain hinted to reporters that he might withhold support for the measure unless it’s amended to include greater incentives for nuclear power, a potential deal breaker for many Democrats.
“We’re never going to really significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions unless nuclear power is a major component of” U.S. energy supply, Sen. McCain told reporters Wednesday. Nuclear energy currently accounts for around 20% of the country’s electric power supply. He added that he’s “been disappointed so far” that the bill doesn’t provide “a robust and serious addressing of the issue of nuclear power.”
“I know that’s not the most popular position, but that has to be in it, and I will make a judgment accordingly as the legislative process goes forward,” he added. …”

McCain’s cap-and-trade hoax
Posted: June 02, 2008, 7:32 PM by NP Editor
Climate change, John McCain,
George Will, cap-and-trade system
Cap-and-trade is a huge tax hidden in a bureaucratic labyrinth of opaque permit transactions
By George Will
“…McCain, who supports Lieberman’s unprecedented expansion of government’s regulatory reach, is the scourge of all lobbyists (other than those employed by his campaign). But cap-and-trade would be a bonanza for K Street, the lobbyists’ habitat, because it would vastly deepen and broaden the upside benefits and downside risks that the government’s choices mean for businesses.
McCain, the political hygienist, is eager to reduce the amount of money in politics. But cap-and-trade, by hugely increasing the amount of politics in the allocation of money, would guarantee a surge of money into politics.
Regarding McCain’s “central facts,” the UN’s World Meteorological Organization, which helped establish the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — co-winner, with Al Gore, of the Nobel Prize — says global temperatures have not risen in a decade. So Congress might be arriving late at the save-the-planet party. Better late than never? No. When government, ever eager to expand its grip on the governed and their wealth, manufactures hysteria as an excuse for doing so, then: better never.”
Table of Contents: A Layman’s Guide to Man-Made Global Warming
“The purpose of this paper is to provide a layman’s critique of the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory, and in particular to challenge the fairly widespread notion that the science and projected consequences of AGW currently justify massive spending and government intervention into the world’s economies. This paper will show that despite good evidence that global temperatures are rising and that CO2 can act as a greenhouse gas and help to warm the Earth, we are a long way from attributing all or much of current warming to man-made CO2. We are even further away from being able to accurately project man’s impact on future climate, and it is a very debatable question whether interventions today to reduce CO2 emissions will substantially improve the world 50 or 100 years from now. …”

With the debate focused on a warming Earth, the icy consequences of a cooler future have not been considered
By Lawrence Solomon
“…But many are watching the sun for answers, and for good reason. Several renowned scientists have been predicting for some time that the world could enter a period of cooling right around now, with consequences that could be dire. “The next little ice age would be much worse than the previous one and much more harmful than anything warming may do,” believes Dr. Chapman. “There are many more people now and we have become dependent on a few temperate agricultural areas, especially in the U.S. and Canada. Global warming would increase agricultural output, but global cooling will decrease it.” …”
