advice to Americans .......don't waste your time calling these parasites . Just get rid of them altogether ........they invented this nightmare , not the Arabs , not the Muslims , not the global warming or whomever they blame , Get rid of corrupted degenerate government parasites....REBOOT .................
global warming is a farse....the trouble in the world is te corrupt leadership that has found their way into the white house and all positions surrounding it.
Obame is a criminal and a liar and has surrounded himself with a load of the same...a bunch of guys with no experience, no knowledge and most of all, no concern for America as a nation or the people who own and should be running it....the citizens. When will people wake up and get rid of him and his thugs?

We have to stand up against Cap & Trade! Nothing violent, just push harder. Write your local paper, talk to your friends, and meet with people who agree with you and organize.
Recent 2012 polls have put Palin, Huckabee, and Romney at the top with Newt not too far behind.
We need to get Newt to the top and expose those fakes like Romney who publicly opposed Newt's successful Contract with America plan. If you don't believe me, search "Romney Contract with America" on YouTube.
I saw an article today from a Liberal columnist who said the Left needs to stop lying about Cap & Trade creating "millions" of new green jobs. The columnist said the truth is that Cap & Trade will...at best...be job neutral. May even lose a few if higher energy costs drive the remainder of our manufacturing base off shore.
Cap & Trade is a fig leaf for a massive tax hike to pay for health care reform. It will do virtually nothing to reduce CO2 emissions.
This is wrong to put on us without more thought as to transitions, our own energy in America, and bipartisan participation, which so far has not been ALLOWED BY THE DEMS! IT IS TREASONOUS!
People should have seen that BEFORE voting for president. Obama has made promises to give away money for all kind of crap, as long as it was helping him to win some votes, and naive people ate that. But why than haven't anybody asked where those money suppose to come from?
I wish I had an answer for you, alas, I do not! Cap and Trade and Health Care will only help the cronies, unions, and Congress people! And all, at our expense!
I swear this truly is the funniest thing I have ever read - Check it out:
The proposal -- frequently referred to as a cap-and-trade plan -- would establish an emissions trading system that would permit companies that emit fewer greenhouse gases than they are allowed to sell the excess portion to companies that exceed their allowances
I can't wait to see what happens after the September Bank Holiday!
If you want to continue to line the pockets of Congress then sit back and let this Bill pass they will live very well off of the profit. These taxes will be covered by credit default swaps. Hello remind you anything like the mortgage meltdown. Are you kidding me did they not learn anything. Waxman just slipped a 300 page into the bill and know one knows whats in it. China and India are not doing this so this will just hurt us and not help anything. PLEASE PEOPLE STOP THE MADNESS.
Countries that tried this TAX are saying it is not working for them. France, Sweden, Australia, Germany. They are just using this to get more money. Al Gore makes money. Nancey Pelosi's ownership of an unknown number of shares in the Clean Energy Fuels Corp. I am tired of these fuckers making policies we live by and they profit off of. Stand up people and stop letting them play us for CHUMPS.
They are using the old video of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge falling apart in a high wind condition. I have a video of the grand opening of the brand new second Narrows Bridge that was built for over 800 million. I say no more taxes until they better spend the money taxation brings in currently.
Don't be so naive to believe the guy (Gore) that is talking about Global Warming, he owns the company that would sell the carbon credits. Global Warming is a hoax. These people that claim we are the reason for global warming in a field closely associated with the boobs that can't accurately predict the weather....
Before you stand up for cap and trade & government health care do your research on how well it worked for Europe. They don't really penalize the people creating the most pollution (make them exempt) and they punish the small corps. These are no more of an emergency than the other stimulus bills or the tarp that both Bush and Obama pushed through because they were "Emergencies." Just like giving GM and Chrysler all the money, only to see them file for CH. 11. Yet another emergency.
I called and asked my Congressman to support everything this ad opposes. Thanks for the number. You should try to hide your funders a little better. It was easy to support these issues when I saw who funds you!!
Aren't you the brightest star in the sky. Call them back and offer to pay for my families food and gas , and my local farmers and businesses who will be passing on these taxes to us while they struggle to survive. Did you know there is a massive un-employment provision in this bill , to support all the folks who will lose their jobs to this bill you support so blindly? No , of course not. All you need to know is - oh right - nothing.
I am really getting sick of these conspiracy theories. There has been nothing but circumstantial evidence and speculation to support this idea of a "New World Order" conspiracy in the Obama administration, etc, and I am sad to admit it. I think that if properly constructed a stronger international institutional framework might preserve international security and economic stability than our current system of near anarchy.
Taxing carbon content is about as close as you can come, let the free market figure out what non-carbon energy source is best. Trading in pollution, Capping pollution, giving pollution rights, giving money to "my favorite solution" is not a free market.
It still gives carbon producers the flexibility to find which is the most cost-effective way to reduce their emissions which a straight carbon tax would not do. The scientific and economic community is in agreement that drastic action is needed to preserve the long term success of our species and cap and trade has the best low intrusiveness/high effect ratio of all the options available right now.
That's exactly why it won't work. Giving the Tax on carbon to the carbon producers. What should or will eventually be a dying industry. Those aren't the people who will produce the cheapest non-carbon energy, and to expect that they are is crazy. Simply Taxing carbon energy and letting the free market decide what is economically feasible. It skews the marketplace away from carbon while not favoring any one particular solution. Favoring a particular solution will not lead to the best solution.
no the cost of cap and trade which is a government idea. im talking about the price of products or services. instead of calling everyone that disagrees a liar. you need to actually make a truthful rebuttal.
plus to be for cap and trade you have to believe that man made is the number one reason for global warming, and the best way to stop it is for government intervention in the private sector.
I know all about cap and trade and it is a baldfaced lie to call cap and trade a "tax". Caop and trade is a free market solution to a problem of negative externalities.
But never let the truth get in the way of corporate greed.
it is when you think about the cost for companies.then that you tranfer to the cost of there service or products. which well only make things cost more, which well accelerate inflation.
when prices go up doesn't the tax go up. if a product goes up from lets say 100 to 200. doesnt the tax go up to? it's not a direct tax it's an indirect tax of what cap and trade well do. any one with a sane mind can see what it can do.
About AmericanSolutions: "Currently their main program is Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less. A petition aims to convince Congress that Americans, (...) want them to open oil drilling in Alaska's Wildlife Reserve and off the Atlantic, Pacific and Florida Gulf coasts, and to extract shale oil from the Rocky Mountains, in order to make the country independent from foreign oil" (Wikipedia) Sounds like oil lobbyist to me. No wonder they're against an Energy Tax!
Stopping climate change is the same as a person who is a lazy, overwieght slob...pushing the cookies and ice cream off their chest, putting down the remote control and gettting outside to get some excercise. Think 50's Elvis vs 70's Elvis.
Americams degradation into sloth has been identical.
Great video. It's a perfect example of what happens when people ignore nature, science and technology for the idea, hey we've always done it this way, it'll be fine.

Not sure what is worse, this horribly misleading propaganda or the fact that so many of the commentators below buy it. HR 2454 internalizes externalities generated by GHG emissions. GHG emissions in the quantities we currently emit function as a pollutant. Without government regulation now, like the current bill in the House, global temperatures are going to keep rising way above 2ºC. I hope Newt's great-grandchildren are ok with having disastrous climate change forced upon them.
Enviro is a moron. The Earth is cooling. 30 years ago everyone was going nuts thinking we were going into an Ice Age. This bill is simply a way for government to take over more power over the private sector. It's a tax on the common taxpayer. Enviro's kids and grandkids will really have to pay out the wazoo for this crap. Too bad idiots like this can actually vote.
Crap! You're right! The earth is cooling! That's why the National Science Academies of all the western industrialized countries have said that climate change is happening, is anthropogenic, and that the world is getting warmer. But what do they know? They're only the top climatologists in the world! I say we dismiss them out of hand by making up crazy data! Eh, "truth"? Thanks for showing me the light! I think you should be in charge of the US environmental policy.
It's important to look for several things in a climatologist: area of expertise and sources of funding to name but two. Few climate change deniers are experts in the area, e.g. Freeman Dyson. Many are paid handsomely to deny the science, e.g Heritage Foundation. Fortunately there are a lot of really smart climatologists at the US and other National Science Academies who have stated climate change is man made. I would give those folks a serious look before dismissing them.
Ok! so none of those same issues apply on the other side of the fence? Hanson from Nasa admitted he was lieing about the severity "just to get peoples attention" Also what are we looking to prevent. I'm a history guy and I have no doubt that we will see another Ice age and furthermore Ice ages are GOOD! They clense they earth, They rejuvinate the soils. The only thing more foolish then thinking you can prevent it would be to actually try to stop it. Man better plan on adapting to nature.
EnviroLaw1000- Climatology is not an exact science.Man can not explain climate change pre-history any more than he can explain climate change now. This is why the definition is complex and constantly static.. Check out reverse polarization of Earth. We are long overdue for it. Glatzmaier does great research in Cali on it. Try researching the geodynamo theory. We need more carbon dioxide not less. Our magnet is flipping and our sol protections are waining, the only protec left is upper atm gas.
Luckily, not all Americans are total morons. Obama is the government version of Bernie Madoff, conspiring to steal trillions of dollars to reward his supporters, and let the taxpayers foot the bill.
I think we should breed Barack Obama with Al Gore, and let their "brilliant" clones rule the world. They might not actually be brilliant, but the mainstream media would tell them they are, and that's enough. The Chinese must be pissing themselves, watching idiots like Obama slit our economic throats, like sheep.
I have an idea! Why doesn't Obama just take-over all businesses, and we can all become federal employees, and then he can decide how much energy each of us can have, and how much money each of us can have, and food we can eat, and where we can live, and how we get to work, and what we can say, and who we can listen to. He's such a genius!
Oh my god Exxon has a new ad! And they've changed their name to American Solutions.
They gotta keep makin' all that dough don't you know. Can't be taxed. Who cares about the planet and the rest of us all falling off a cliff as long as their the richest when we all DIE!
Americans need more bicycles in their lives. And yes...gasoline should cost five times more than it costs today. You had your SUV´s your Hummers your damned guns. You have polluted your lakes, rivers,oceans. You bet you need a huge energy tax to clean up your act, loose some weight. Moderate your awful temper.
Bicycles, veggie burgers and some reefer. My recipe.
Tax hikes will only make the economy worse. Notice that when Bush's tax cuts were taking effect, the economy was doing better with unemployment @ 4.5% and the stock market hitting new highs everyday.
More $ goes into the government in sales taxes when people have more of their own money instead of paying it to government directly.
The economy tanked when dems took over congress in 2007 from their F&F ignorance, and has gone nowhere since under democrats, as usual. Obama = Jimma Carta = FAILURE!
Give me a break, patriotically-named organization aping Newt Gingrich. We're going to have worse problems than the economy if we continue to destroy the environment. This is a monstrous, messed up, not-as-good-a-it-could-be step, but it's a step we should take to start down some sort of road to not screwing ourselves over in the long term.
Putting a gun to my head for my own good? Stealing my money to spend it more wisely than I might?
Thanks but no thanks. Perhaps if the Government were to succede at something other than screwing up everything it touches I would be more receptive.
Cap & Trade is nothing less than a scam designed to punish the successful for the benefit of the Government, primarily to buy votes from people unburdened with intellegence.
damn right, why the fuck do I have to pay taxes for courts, police, firemen, and teachers? What the fuck is up with that? It's almost as if I never took basic civics or understand even the simplest forms of cohesive society
Then you should be able to point out the section of the Constituton that gives the Federal Government the right to regulate the Weather (even if they could).
It may surprise you to know that US global warming gases decreased during the Bush administration. If it not for the 15.5% increase during the Clinton-Gore Administration we would be at 1990 levels, as required by Kyoto. Perhaps if the Federal Government would understand that there are better ways of fixing the environment than through centralized, federal planning and control. The free market, pushed minimally by regulations works best.
Attended a protest tonight to let Congressman Tim Bishop know that we are tired of him being a Pelosi Puppet. He works for us. I have written him over and over for a long time. Letters don't work. I think he heard a few hundred people tonight. Take back to DC this message Mr. Bishop - Cap & Trade is designed to make billions of dollars for Gore & friends, nothing more. It will not change climate. It will harm our economy already in crisis. It is a scam.
Simple economic theory, accepted by essentially all economists: economies don't work properly if you can dump your costs (in this case, heat-trapping pollution) on others. Econ 101.
Isn't that what this tax is doing? Don't you think that this cost will be passed on to the consumer? Basically all this law does is create another way for government to grab more power and money.
Really? Cuz when gas was at $4 a gallon the price of groceries and anything that is trucked in for that matter didn't go up too? You didn't notice that? Give me a break!
50 cents? Why should it cost me anything more than I already pay for gas, natural gas, and electricity in energy cost and the taxes levied thereon? Particularly irksome when the carbonistas refuse to drill at home. If we get our gulf oil shut off we stupidly won't be ready. Down with Waxman, et. al.
You are extremely naive if you believe that. The cost of EVERYTHING will go up because businesses will be paying more in manufacturing and transportation costs etc. etc. and those costs will be passed on to us, the consumers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes that's right. The Liberals are destroying the economy. Has nothing to do with the fact that we had a president in office for 8 years that watched the economy slide all the way down and just watch.
Well, if you want to place blame. The fed had a lot more to do with our current policy. Combine loose money policy with NO fiscal discipline in Washington, and this is what you get.
If we can agree that they ALL suck, then why would ANY of us, LEFT or RIGHT want to give them one iota of additional power over us?
Don't forget Congress being the main catalyst for the economy going to hell. Note that it didn't do so until Pelosi and friends took over. And that every major failure (e.g. Fanny and Freddie) can be tied directly to a major Dem like Barney Frank, et al.
I can't wait to ask you a question in a few months, after the cap n trade, healthcare reform, tax on healthcare benefits, tax on sodas, etal (that means and many more), and unemployment over 11%. Question? Are you better off than you were 12 months ago? I hope Moron University is no longer enrolling. Sheesh.
Are they trying to destroy our American's beautiful economy, and watch it collapsed more. What the hell are they thinking, this is why I do not trust Liberals because they are Libtarded. They are willing to post lies to brainwash people just like any junk mail would do. Which makes our people feel helpless, weak, and giving up their rights. Most of our Amendments, and Constitutionals rights have been already been violated. Which they censored our First Amendments to say no to Bills being passed.

ok so lets not call it a tax...
electricity prices will as obama said "skyrocket". consumer cost will go up as companies pass on the expense to consumers.

About AmericanSolutions: "Currently their main program is Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less. A petition aims to convince Congress that Americans, (...) want them to open oil drilling in Alaska's Wildlife Reserve and off the Atlantic, Pacific and Florida Gulf coasts, and to extract shale oil from the Rocky Mountains, in order to make the country independent from foreign oil" (Wikipedia) Sounds like oil lobbyist to me. No wonder they're against an Energy Tax!

Stopping climate change is the same as a person who is a lazy, overwieght slob...pushing the cookies and ice cream off their chest, putting down the remote control and gettting outside to get some excercise. Think 50's Elvis vs 70's Elvis.

Not sure what is worse, this horribly misleading propaganda or the fact that so many of the commentators below buy it. HR 2454 internalizes externalities generated by GHG emissions. GHG emissions in the quantities we currently emit function as a pollutant. Without government regulation now, like the current bill in the House, global temperatures are going to keep rising way above 2ºC. I hope Newt's great-grandchildren are ok with having disastrous climate change forced upon them.

Enviro is a moron. The Earth is cooling. 30 years ago everyone was going nuts thinking we were going into an Ice Age. This bill is simply a way for government to take over more power over the private sector. It's a tax on the common taxpayer. Enviro's kids and grandkids will really have to pay out the wazoo for this crap. Too bad idiots like this can actually vote.

Crap! You're right! The earth is cooling! That's why the National Science Academies of all the western industrialized countries have said that climate change is happening, is anthropogenic, and that the world is getting warmer. But what do they know? They're only the top climatologists in the world! I say we dismiss them out of hand by making up crazy data! Eh, "truth"? Thanks for showing me the light! I think you should be in charge of the US environmental policy.

Their are as many scientist saying its not man made as their are saying it is man made. What makes you pick the Pro over the Con?
mssedmebich 2 years ago
It's important to look for several things in a climatologist: area of expertise and sources of funding to name but two. Few climate change deniers are experts in the area, e.g. Freeman Dyson. Many are paid handsomely to deny the science, e.g Heritage Foundation. Fortunately there are a lot of really smart climatologists at the US and other National Science Academies who have stated climate change is man made. I would give those folks a serious look before dismissing them.
EnviroLaw1000 2 years ago
Ok! so none of those same issues apply on the other side of the fence? Hanson from Nasa admitted he was lieing about the severity "just to get peoples attention" Also what are we looking to prevent. I'm a history guy and I have no doubt that we will see another Ice age and furthermore Ice ages are GOOD! They clense they earth, They rejuvinate the soils. The only thing more foolish then thinking you can prevent it would be to actually try to stop it. Man better plan on adapting to nature.
mssedmebich 2 years ago
EnviroLaw1000- Climatology is not an exact science.Man can not explain climate change pre-history any more than he can explain climate change now. This is why the definition is complex and constantly static.. Check out reverse polarization of Earth. We are long overdue for it. Glatzmaier does great research in Cali on it. Try researching the geodynamo theory. We need more carbon dioxide not less. Our magnet is flipping and our sol protections are waining, the only protec left is upper atm gas.

I think we should breed Barack Obama with Al Gore, and let their "brilliant" clones rule the world. They might not actually be brilliant, but the mainstream media would tell them they are, and that's enough. The Chinese must be pissing themselves, watching idiots like Obama slit our economic throats, like sheep.

I have an idea! Why doesn't Obama just take-over all businesses, and we can all become federal employees, and then he can decide how much energy each of us can have, and how much money each of us can have, and food we can eat, and where we can live, and how we get to work, and what we can say, and who we can listen to. He's such a genius!

Tax hikes will only make the economy worse. Notice that when Bush's tax cuts were taking effect, the economy was doing better with unemployment @ 4.5% and the stock market hitting new highs everyday.
More $ goes into the government in sales taxes when people have more of their own money instead of paying it to government directly.
The economy tanked when dems took over congress in 2007 from their F&F ignorance, and has gone nowhere since under democrats, as usual. Obama = Jimma Carta = FAILURE!

Give me a break, patriotically-named organization aping Newt Gingrich. We're going to have worse problems than the economy if we continue to destroy the environment. This is a monstrous, messed up, not-as-good-a-it-could-be step, but it's a step we should take to start down some sort of road to not screwing ourselves over in the long term.

Putting a gun to my head for my own good? Stealing my money to spend it more wisely than I might?
Thanks but no thanks. Perhaps if the Government were to succede at something other than screwing up everything it touches I would be more receptive.
Cap & Trade is nothing less than a scam designed to punish the successful for the benefit of the Government, primarily to buy votes from people unburdened with intellegence.

It may surprise you to know that US global warming gases decreased during the Bush administration. If it not for the 15.5% increase during the Clinton-Gore Administration we would be at 1990 levels, as required by Kyoto. Perhaps if the Federal Government would understand that there are better ways of fixing the environment than through centralized, federal planning and control. The free market, pushed minimally by regulations works best.

Attended a protest tonight to let Congressman Tim Bishop know that we are tired of him being a Pelosi Puppet. He works for us. I have written him over and over for a long time. Letters don't work. I think he heard a few hundred people tonight. Take back to DC this message Mr. Bishop - Cap & Trade is designed to make billions of dollars for Gore & friends, nothing more. It will not change climate. It will harm our economy already in crisis. It is a scam.

Simple economic theory, accepted by essentially all economists: economies don't work properly if you can dump your costs (in this case, heat-trapping pollution) on others. Econ 101.
tpolson353 2 years ago
Isn't that what this tax is doing? Don't you think that this cost will be passed on to the consumer? Basically all this law does is create another way for government to grab more power and money.

50 cents? Why should it cost me anything more than I already pay for gas, natural gas, and electricity in energy cost and the taxes levied thereon? Particularly irksome when the carbonistas refuse to drill at home. If we get our gulf oil shut off we stupidly won't be ready. Down with Waxman, et. al.

You are extremely naive if you believe that. The cost of EVERYTHING will go up because businesses will be paying more in manufacturing and transportation costs etc. etc. and those costs will be passed on to us, the consumers.

Yes that's right. The Liberals are destroying the economy. Has nothing to do with the fact that we had a president in office for 8 years that watched the economy slide all the way down and just watch.

Well, if you want to place blame. The fed had a lot more to do with our current policy. Combine loose money policy with NO fiscal discipline in Washington, and this is what you get.
If we can agree that they ALL suck, then why would ANY of us, LEFT or RIGHT want to give them one iota of additional power over us?

Don't forget Congress being the main catalyst for the economy going to hell. Note that it didn't do so until Pelosi and friends took over. And that every major failure (e.g. Fanny and Freddie) can be tied directly to a major Dem like Barney Frank, et al.
Yeah... it sure was Bush.

Are they trying to destroy our American's beautiful economy, and watch it collapsed more. What the hell are they thinking, this is why I do not trust Liberals because they are Libtarded. They are willing to post lies to brainwash people just like any junk mail would do. Which makes our people feel helpless, weak, and giving up their rights. Most of our Amendments, and Constitutionals rights have been already been violated. Which they censored our First Amendments to say no to Bills being passed.
