Inhofe is one of the few who is NOT a criminal. Cap and trade will SLOW new technology that will remove 90% of the carbon. Why? Because any system that includes wind and solar must have some capacitance and some carbon when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. By using Natural Gas it can be BASE LOAD, which is what coal is. YOU MUST HAVE BASE LOAD ABILITY to remove COAL. This is cheaper than Nuke and coal...WAKE UP people. Let the market do this. Cap and Trade is a crime.

Well, I don't think the Republican Congress and Senate (speaking of ten years ago) was close AT ALL to ratifying the Kyoto Treaty (in fact, Clinton himself didn't even support it until he was getting ready to leave the White House), it doesn't change the fact that James is essentially right.

Regardless of how one feels about Global Warming, *Cap-and-Trade* is a pointless enterprise. A Twenty-First Century equivalent to mid-evil "Indulgences".

This guy receives lots of kickbacks from coal and oil interests. He is a mouth-piece for that industry. He is basically a paid lobbyist who happens to be a senator.

Wake up!

@jsmappy everybody who believes in this faulty "science" hahahaha(insert joke about gullable non technicall minded fools here) should just commit suicide and save the world .

Inclonclusive is not ever the right word. I cooled for almost 40 years from 1940 while C02 was going up, invalidating their theory altogether, which is why they were trying to "Hide the decline." I've seen artic ice from satellites, where yes, there was some from 1979 to 2000 but as much if not more artic ice in Janauary 09 as January 2000. The IPCC even said 20 inches in 100 years is the worst case, while Gore said 20 feet in a few decades, in his movie and $300,000 speeches.

Only 4k a year for rent at Guantanamo?

[DCPowell79]

If you had listened to the speech, the sources are stated, the logic is sound, and he is not saying do nothing, he is saying dont do this because it is not a real solution.

[jsmappy]

We need $6.7 Trillion dollars to save the World. Makes sense.

Certainly, we would all die if we spent $6.5 Trillion.

Global Warming cultists are fools & sheeple, being led to their slaughter.

Can't wait 'till we get some adults back into office!
