Murkowski Floor Statement on her EPA Disapproval Resolution

[frededison]

Congress has NO expertise on climate research OR CO2 the scientifically proven heat trapping greenhouse gas. The Earth has a balance of CO2 and we're upsetting that balance by introducing large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere as we also saturate and acidify the oceans from excess CO2. Leave the science to actual scientists.

CLEAN OUR GULF COASTAL WATERS!

Where are YOU in the clean up??????

[samheinwitchkilla44]

Thank God in heaven this bitch didn't get her way. WTF are these people thinking. Oh yeah lets give oil companies as much leverage as they can get and fuck the EPA's shit up at the same time Fuckin' awesome..

[oilhammer04]

@PietPassword, yes it changes . . . . what's new? The snake oil salesmen, are trying to make money off that which we can't change. Hopefully enough Americans have enough sense to stop this foolishness.

[oilhammer04]

A voice of reason! go Murkowski! The Leftists must be stopped in their wrecking of America.

[plstkr07]

A bit defensive aren't we. Google Lord Monckton if you want information on CLIMATE. Al Gore has been shown to be a fraud and has personally benefited financially. It's ok for him to make money of climate change bullshit, but oil companies shouldn't profit from providing us with energy?

[paker51]

I just said Al Gore was a fraud. What didn't you understand?

[jujusamsam]

Why would the EPA wants to pursue this regulation right now, when we should be focussed on getting our economy back on track ?

Because the EPA is setting the path to the economic environment of the 2020's, if these steps are not taken, the USA won't be able to compete with Asia on the energy market. Once more that's not ur issue as you might not be there anymore. It is our issue, so we want to take the right decisions.

I agree that we need to find solutions for the labor in Alaska.

[jujusamsam]

I am french and i can say that it is a shame. The American senate should show the way instead of driving you, American people, in a wall. You will get fucked by China because you are enable to be organized and forsee main challenges. For the climate change skeptic, put your money into the game, bet that the temperature wouldn't rise by more than 3 degres by 2050. You wouldn't do that i guess.

Lisa is 52, in 10 years she is out of the decision so that's nice to see her fucking the Earth, bravo !

[ekkeman]

This is the most shameful attempt I have seen. Congress and the Supreme Court have directed the EPA in the endangerment finding.

Shameful what money will buy. I am ashamed to see an oil lobbyist speaking through a senators mouth. Shameful.

[jshansen43]

But I thought Gore said the debate was over and that we shouldn't refine it's figures and conclusions. The longer you pampas ass holes continue this religion, the more ridiculous you become.

[paker51]

If the father of all things warming, Al Gore, really believed in global warming why would he buy a multimillion dollar San Fransisco seaside condo in the very place he says in his movie "An Incontinent Truth" will be under 20 feet of water when the Arctic Icecap melts? How many rich people throw millions of dollars into an investment they KNOW they may never see a return from?

[jshansen43]

Thank you Lisa. We can't let them tear down this Great Country any more with gunk science.

Climate: The average pattern of weather variation at a certain location, throughout the year. From NASA.

U.N. climate panel says claim of melting glaciers "poorly substantiated"

Confronted with the reality that a claim about the loss of glaciers in the Himalayas was bogus, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) today issued a statement saying it was wrong.

The groups 2007 AR4 report was a paragraph saying the glaciers would disappear by 2035. That has since been discredited.

The BBC has put its weather forecasting contract out to tender after taking heat from the public for a string of embarrassingly inaccurate long-range weather forecasts. The UK Met Office, the government-owned meteorological department that has had the BBC contract for almost 90 years, is a partner with the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University of Climategate fame. CRU and the UK Met Office jointly provide the climate change data that the UNs IPPC relies on.

Google it.

[Dave26851]

I'm glad America is finally attempting to give the power back to their elected representatives.

[iLogicMaster]

You go girl!

[paker51]

I hope you look at the mistakes the IPCC has made such as the Himalayan glacier fiasco and the BBC firing of the the UK MET office for inaccurate long-range weather forecasts the IPCC use as source for climate change data before going forward with the Cap & Trade bill.

The EPA represents European Union style rule, where unelected unaccountable bureaucrats make oppressive rules which no one can do anything about. May they fail, and sanity win.

[MMGWsceptic]

Great speech - very politically astute

[CTOL1]

Yes! I have let my Senators know my feelings on this and I support you AND your efforts!

[debtruth1]

I appreciate your great efforts, Senator Murkowski!

[skybirdbird]
