More Death of Climate Fad: Pelosi's Panel Sacked

So much for ol' Bug Eye's climate panel. It was dumb while it lasted. LOL! More evidence that this fad and myth will only be a footnote in history.

Republicans will eliminate the House committee created by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to highlight the threat of climate change, Representative James Sensenbrenner, the top Republican on the panel, said today.

In one of her first acts as speaker in 2007, Pelosi, a California Democrat, created the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming to draw attention to climate-change science and showcase how a cap on carbon dioxide needn’t be a threat to economic growth.

Republicans, who won control of the House in the Nov. 2 election, have opposed legislative efforts to regulate carbon emissions as a tax on energy. When the panel convened today, Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, said that the hearing “will be the last of the select committee.”

Climate Bill: Beginning or End of Stupidity?

Is this the end or beginning of stupidity? As the close vote in the House shows, this monstrosity, that no one voting on it has even read, could be headed for doom in the Senate--and I certainly hope so. If it dies in the Senate (like all stupid things that Pelosi sends over should) then it may not be the end of stupidity, but it's at least a decent blow to doltishness.

If, however, the Senate manages to pass this dumbass piece of legislation and BHO signs it (and he will), we will face another stupid tax over nothing. Liberally-inspired stupidity abounds and flourishes. Then, these morons will slowly say the climate is moderating (ahem...it already has) and that their legislation (and hidden taxes) did it. See how scams work? Nice, huh?

House narrowly passes major energy-climate bill

WASHINGTON – In a triumph for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed sweeping legislation Friday that calls for the nation's first limits on pollution linked to global warming and aims to usher in a new era of cleaner, yet more costly energy.

The vote was 219-212, capping months of negotiations and days of intense bargaining among Democrats. Republicans were overwhelmingly against the measure, arguing it would destroy jobs in the midst of a recession while burdening consumers with a new tax in the form of higher energy costs.

Lord Monckton to US Congress: AGW a Myth

Lord Monckton is back in the news (barely), and God bless him, he told our stupid Congress what they needed to hear. What U.S. newspaper covers it? A little Alabama newspaper.

US Congress told global warming is a myth

The United States Congress has been told to ignore President Barack Obama's carbon emission plan.

The Energy and Environment Subcommittee has heard from a British aristocrat, Lord Christopher Walter Monckton, that climate change does not exist.

Monckton, who has long believed climate change is myth, is a member of a movement that has argued there is no statistically significant global warming.

Saying green jobs are purely a euphemism for mass unemployment, he told Congress members that adaptation to climate change is unnecessary.
