Federal Climate Bill in Congress

Herald Journal: Page A2, April 19, 2009.

Read this incredible language from one of this nation's brilliant, non-partisan journalists:

"The fallout from global warming, while subtle right now, could eventually be more dire".

Now read it again. That ought to make even Kathie and her Self-Sufficient-Sisters tremble. Maybe you should read it again.

I don't know where this journalist went to school, but I think "subtle" means...hardly noticable. And the words "could" and "eventually" are linked in an incipid threat that global warming "could be"..."more dire" than "hardly noticable". What would something "more dire" than "hardly noticable" actually look like? And when should we expect "more dire"?... well... "eventually".

Let's put this in perspective. After more than thirty years of preaching environmental doom and gloom like "acid rain destroying lakes and forests, polluted rivers being on fire and smog choking people in some cities", global warming activists admit today that "the fallout from global warming is only subtle right now".

But apparently that most unscientific position "has Democrats pushing legistlation that rivals in scope the nations land-mark anti-pollution laws."

And..."If Congress balks, the Obama administration has signalled its willingness to use decades old clean air laws to impose tough new regulations for motor vehicles and many industrial plants to limit their release of climate-changing pollution." (and put a lot more people out of work)

"The EPA said that rising sea levels, increased flooding and more intense heatwaves and storms that come with climate change are a threat to public health and safety."

Having stated that pollution is causing climate change, the EPA "predicted that warming will worsen other pollution problems such as smog"...."our health and our planet are in danger."

So are you paying attention folks?

Global warming is now climate change...and ...
Pollution causes climate change...and
Global warming causes pollution.

It's hard to argue with that circumlocution.

Love it! Oh and the last six years of cooling are right in line with expected trends in global warming... I mean climate change.
