Senators Kerry and Boxer have introduced a climate bill that protects the EPA, a bold step that deserves to be commended. But Big Coal and Big Oil will stop at nothing to strangle the EPA, and maintain the status quo, where polluters escape regulation an

Signed and forwarded. Put in my two cents -
It's time for us to push back but good on the special interests who have done nothing but damage to our nation and our environment over the past years. Slowing down the freeloading and corruption is not enough. Slowing down the pollution and greed and graft and selfishness isn't enough. Just eroding the plunder and pillage a bit isn't enough. We have real problems caused by big energy, big mining and big corporations, especially big insurance. We have real problems caused by big investment banks, wall street and overpaid CEOs who have demonstrated NO social responsibility at all.

We are done with this for good. It is not sufficient to get worse slowly. It is not sufficient to put a nick or a dent in the plunder and pillage tactics. We're bringing this to a screeching halt and it's time for our government to represent us and to do the right things for the public good. The damage has got to STOP! Please do the right things, not the political or expedient things. People believe you can and believe you will. It's time for us to have some people we can honestly believe in. Please be one of them. Thank you for your time on this important issue. Our children will know what we're willing to do, and what we're not willing to do, for them.

Look at all the shills piling on to get you to endorse your own slavery. The sun is the major climate controller and your breath and your SUV's emmissions are irrelevant.

The climate scam seems to be coming apart since fewer people believe the lies than did last year.

Poll: Far fewer Americans believe in global warming
Only 36% say warming man-made, down from 47% last year

22 Oct 09 – A new poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press finds a sharp decline in the number of Americans who see solid evidence that global temperatures are rising, says this article in the Wall Street Journal. Only 35% of respondents see global warming as a very serious problem, down from 44% in April 2008.

The survey also found that only 36% of Americans say global temperatures are rising as a result of human activity, down from 47% last year."

Do you really want to pay more for everything to enrich these criminals? Do you really want to pay carbon taxes when you are about to loose your job?

Are alternatives affordable? Solar heating is not only affordable, it pays for itself in five years. This is where we should be working immediately.

There are fights over jobs - coal states want the jobs that the mines bring, and oil brings in jobs.

But tens of thousands of Americans alone die from coal pollution - the nuclear, sulfar, mercury and soot emissions. (A coal plant produces more nuclear than a nuclear power plant. you are burning rock, which is not refined.)

As a conservative, I will work with you on ending the madness of dependence on foreign oil - that is a first step.

We need money spent on solar electricity and wind energy to make them affordable.

"Look at all the shills piling on to get you to endorse your own slavery."

You'd rather us be enslaved to the fossil fuel industries, Judy?

"The sun is the major climate controller and your breath and your SUV's emmissions are irrelevant."

Bull$#it. Disprove the supposed heat retaining properties of CO2 via experimental data that can be peer reviewed and repeated by others and you will have a credible case. Instead, all you do is whine like a mosquito. Excuse me, I need a flyswatter and some RAID.

Judy's standard M O is to:
1. Assume that anything posted by denialists like herself must be truthful.
2. Assume that anything posted by supporters of the man-made global warming hypothesis must be part of a worldwide "scam".
3. Plaster denialist propaganda in a vain attempt to intimidate people who dare to post news stories about the climate change problem here.
4. When her claims are debunked, ignores or dismisses the rebuttals and challenges from others.
5. Makes personal attacks against others, then cries foul when she gets attacked in return.
6. Waits until another news story about climate change is posted in the C2NN to repeat points 1 through 5.
No wonder she is laughed at and scorned around here.

P.S. One day Miss Judy Cross, I would like to sit down and have a really heart-to-heart discussion with ya while we weigh in our beliefs versus environmental facts, if that would meet with your approval and considerations.

Thank ya kindly...

Regards,

I have been called Climate Control Lady by Gov. Charlie Crist as I helped VP Al Gore & Robert Kennedy, Jr. in 1999 when I spoke to the Sugar Farmers not to dump their sugar wastes in the Everglades. I constantly help to Save our Everglades & I have birds in my backyard w/a tray of seeds & a water fountain for them to drink water & have a bath. Birds mmake the climate pure. We must make sure autos have 35MPH,no speeding, emission control & no global warming. Have solar panels in every state & ge windpower so the climate will be the best.

Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed

Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

"Beliefs or facts - why should it matter? "

A strikingly simple statement in support of ignorance.

"A well-accepted aphorism about science, in the context of difference of opinion between two points of view, is “Madam, you are entitled to your own interpretation, but not to your own facts”.

The world stoker of the fires of global warming alarmism, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), cleverly suborns this dictum in two ways.

First, the IPCC accepts advice from influential groups of scientists who treat the data that underpins their published climate interpretations (collected, of course, using public research funds) as their own private property, and refuse to release it to other scientists.

Thus, confronted in 1996 with a request that he provide a U.S. peer-review referee with a copy of the data that underpinned a research paper that he had submitted, U.K. Hadley Climate Research Centre scientist Tom Wigley responded:

First, it is entirely unnecessary to have original “raw” data in order to review a scientific document. I know of no case at all in which such data were required by or provided to a referee ….. Second, while the data in question [model output from the U.K. Hadley Centre’s climate model] were generated using taxpayer money, this was U.K. taxpayer money. U.S. scientists therefore have no a priori right to such data. Furthermore, these data belong to individual scientists who produced them, not to the IPCC, and it is up to those scientists to decide who they give their data to.

In the face of such attitudes, which treat the established mores of scientific trust and method with contempt, it is scarcely surprising that it took Canadian statistics expert Steve McIntyre many years to get the primary data released that was used by another Hadley Centre scientist, Keith Briffa, in his published tree-ring reconstructions of past temperature from the Urals region, northern hemisphere. When he finally forced the release of the relevant data, McIntyre quickly proceeded to slay a second climate hockey-stick dragon which - like the first such beast fashioned by U.S. scientist Michael Mann, and widely promulgated by the IPCC – turned out to be based on faulty statistical methodology

"A strikingly simple statement in support of ignorance." A personal attack is not necessary here. Need I go into major detail of my statement for you to understand what I was saying? I didn't think that was necessary for the majority here. Apparently your belief is for The Big Coal and Oil industries.
PEACE AND LOVE EVERYONE!

It never fails to amaze me because I can't believe it to be so, yet it is, that Judy VIRTUALLY NEVER SAYS ANYTHING GOOD EVER!!!!
I look in vain in environmental news stories threads that have nothing to do with climate change/global warming even and she virtually NEVER is on any of them, helping or saying anything good.

We must spend less money in Coal and reduces the CO2 emissions, to prevent the Global Warming of the Planet.
