CO Gov Ritter Refuses to Endorse Waxman Markey

[Alvin691]

Looks like the CO Gov was following his party line, wanting to support climate change legislation. They want to turn off the lights and rip the switch off the wall.

[Traveler2112]

That Governor was trying to appease both sides. Typical politics

[kathygrant2]

I'm a Dem, but you greenies are dumb. The climate impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions prescribed under Waxman-Markey is very small—best case it reduces projected global warming by less than one-tenth of a degree Fahrenheit by 2050 and only about one-third of a ºF by centurys end—a reduction that is scientifically meaningless. This is regulation for regulation's sake, and is at odds with the economic wealth needed to adapt to a future that cannot be centrally planned by politicos.

Having investigated this subject and countless scientific papers for longer than I care to count I am firmly of the opinion that man has no effect on climate and that the pro GW people have a different agenda.

[FreedomsReigning]

Ritter throws his hat in with the "Global Warming" hoax, and eugenics.

Throw his ass out.

[cincinnatusnow]

They need to address climate and environmental concerns,but they seem to be creating biased ineffective schemes more than fixes for the problems

[bustermcm]

only an idiot can't see that we are changing the world's climate and that as long as we are slaves to oil we are just pawns.

greed greed greed, it is all about money,

conservatives need to sit down, shut up , you had your chance and you messed it all up.

[stewy357]

You owe your standard of living to oil. Including the computer your using. All Crap & tax is about is greed. So you sit down and STFU.

[MrSchmack]

Global warming is a theory that has yet to be proven. There have been 700 scientist that say that they believe in global warming. 700 out of how many thousand? I'm a scientist and I don't. If you want an informed film watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle". You can't buy it in the states even though they air it on BBC. Download it and you'll see the other side of the story.

[bustermcm]

it has been proven you schmuck, look out your window you can see it.

[exweez]

there is more evidence bigfoot exists than man made global warming is occuring.furthermore the ipcc climate models omit one important factor THE SUN

[alwaysright5]

The only way to stop climate change is to stop the Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun. Stupid liberal maggots probably like this idea.

[bustermcm]

no the way to stop it is to get rid of conservative no progress ideas like the ones you have

[lenny380]

the first diesel engines ran on coal dust-hhmm

[brainiacgames]

Liberals always want to spend someone else's money. The rich people feel guilty, become 'liberal', and start to take our money away to meet their idiotic grand agenda. Funny thing is us capitalist, Conservative Americans (the majority of the country) don't want to take THEIR money away. We're glad they made it. So why do they want to take our money away? Why do they want to stifle our growth, tell us what car to drive and how to live?

[Mikeishere1st]

Over 700 distinguished scientists from all over the world, including some who even used to be AGW alarmists - denounce the theory that human CO2 has ANY significant impact on climate. Google "epw senate minority report" to read who they are. Not only do they outnumber the IPCC authors THIRTEEN TO ONE, they include some of the greatest scientific minds of today! The UN is a political organization and REAL consensus is that AGW = BS!

[dldeskins]

Re-watch the clip and watch Boxer constantly moving in her chair. What is wrong with her? Can't she sit still, if for no other reason than another senator is talking?

[Strongtuit]

It was extremely distracting.

She reminded me of Algore sighing and ruffling papers during the presidential debates.

Libs are such classless putz's.

No wonder they are called bedwetting moonbats.

All Ritter had to do was say yes or no when asked if he supported the bill.

The fact he hedged and spoke gov'ment employee doublespeak shows he can't support it.

[RomeoMD25]

The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do

with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in

car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

[LoneStarPatriot]

ManBearPig(CO2) is very real.
