“The “inconvenient truth” overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.”
“A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.”
“Humans are the only rational animals but have yet to prove it.”
Francis goes on to say that the population fix is “simple” and “dramatic.”
“China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet.”
And here comes the fear-mongering to drive the point home!
“For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs.”
Now…I wonder if this power-hungry Maoist is aware that China’s one child policy leads to a higher ratio of baby boys to baby girls being born, child abandonment, and infanticide…
Not to mention that China is the home to a laundry list of human rights violations…
Hollywood conservatives are calling for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the Oscar they awarded to noted Noble Prize winner-slash-Internet inventor Al Gore in the wake of what many are calling ‘climategate’.
Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd issued a statement today calling for the Academy to take back the Oscar that was lavished on Al Gore for his 2007 crap-fest “An Inconvenient Truth”.
While there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of this actually happening, it does highlight the latest gambit by conservatives to shed light on the Global Warming shemozzle that Al Gore started with his propaganda piece over three years ago.
All this is happening a week before a controversy-laden Climate Change conference in Copenhagen is set to commence where Gore was supposed to deliver a presentation to over 3000 people, but subsequently cancelled. The change in plans is thought to be due in large part to the leaked emails that surfaced this week in which scientists from University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit spoke of manipulating climate data. Republicans in Congress have called for hearings on the subject.
Like the headline says… It sure isn’t easy being green.
Surrounding Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Mark Sanford, and Ed Sullivan, it might be hard to remember that THERE IS A VOTE ON THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE EVER on the floor today…
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, congress, in order to ram through the 1,201 page bill, they have decided to vote today.
This is ridiculous. How are they expected to read the bill? To put it in perspective, they are asking the other representatives to read Atlas Shrugged in one day…and UNDERSTAND IT!
Now, an organization called Let Freedom Ring has made a pledge card that asks congresspeople to vote on the healthcare bill, only after they have personally read it and it has been made available to the people.
And as a quick asside, two people have signed the pledge… Jim Demint and James Inhofe…
UPDATE: Greenpeace is against Cap and Trade? Who knew? So, it seems that the Congress is trying to put the screws to the economy for the sake of expansion of government…
UPDATE: They are really trying to pass a bill with a placeholder? It’s a circus.
Rangel supports horse-trading on House floor…
Carl Levin says C&T is moral imperative…
John Larson invokes the name of T. Boone Pickens…Which is odd…because T. Boone’s Prop 10 was voted down in California in 2008…
And someone needs to tell him to stop yelling…
Is anyone else worried about all these Democrats invoking the ideas of “terrorism” and 9/11 while trying to get votes for C&T?
The Cap and Trade bill costs $700 Million a page!
UPDATE: Representatives caught horse-trading…Barton said it best, “At least its transparent…”
UPDATE: Gohmert: “Where is a physical copy [of the 300 page amendment?]”
–silence–
That silence is so telling.
Apparently, they can’t find a physical copy of the 300 page amendment…
And also, there isn’t a rule that requires a physical copy to vote…or, if there is, the important sounding person at the big podium isn’t aware of one…
Barton: “If a bill for which there is no copy were to actually pass House, could bill be sent to Senate having no copy?”
Apparently there isn’t a copy…anywhere…even on the desk…
Will they recess to form a search party to find the 300 page amendment? Barton requested a short recess to find the official copy…
Markey says no.
It’s a circus…
Jason Chaffetz, Representative from Utah, said on tweeted, “Dems still don’t have a final finished hard copy of bill, 1,500 pages now. And we are supposed to vote on this? Nobody has read it in full.”
Representative Bilbray: “The biggest threat to environment is the smoke coming from backroom deals”
A representative wished to have a moment of silence for those who will lose their jobs had his request objected to…
UPDATE: Well, John Boehner is going to fillabuster! He is going to read every page of the 300 page amendment…
“We have so much room for improvement. Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory…of how we are taking responsibility.”
Folks, what does that mean?
She’s over in Shanghi or something, preaching to students about how we should become green…
Is that really what the Speaker of the House should be doing? Especially now, when Barack Obama wants to jam through some climate bills? And some approval committees?
But, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that this is just a distraction from what is really going on…We should focus on the important issues, like what is really inside the climate bill…
If you lose your job because of the new climate change bill…they will pay you for…three years…
And, according to Glenn Beck, that could cost the taxpayer…$33 Billion.
Here is the reasoning.
2.2 jobs are lost for every green job created.
Barry O. wants to create 5 million green jobs.
That’s 11 million lost jobs…That’s a devastating number of lost jobs.
$3,000 for each person whose job has been destroyed…
$33 Billion.
Why do the congress and Barack Obama want to jam through all these bills and approval hearings? Probably because they don’t want people to read the bills, or ask the tough questions…
Lord Christopher Monckton, an adviser to Margret Thatcher, was to testify with Al Gore in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The discussion is part of the committee meetings about the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.
Monckton had this to say, “The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore’s sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear.”
According to the article:
“…Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore.”
Ladies and gentlemen; a while back I was sick. I missed a couple days of school with a fever. During that time, an assignment was due for my English class. A proposal about our topic for the year. My group turned in the proposal without my portion. The teacher was generally displeased with the class’ work, and asked everyone in the class to redo the essay. I offered to do the revision because I felt bad about the situation. I’m glad I did because today when I was revising, I read the version they turned in. Let me just tell you, it’s horrible. The only thing worse than this is when Dante tried to print out a video in my Chemistry class during summer school… Take a look after the jump…
