Where is the Global Warming -- excluding the hot air from our "leaders"?

Professors David Douglass and Robert Knox of the Physics Department in the University of Rochester, New York, demonstrating that the heat buildup in the oceans that is a necessary fingerprint of manmade global warming is not occurring.

Senator Kerry Aug. 2009 statements on "Global Warming" vs. Facts

Senator John Kerry’s statement in early August 2009 about “global warming” before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which he chairs, was false in every particular, leading him to draw the incorrect conclusion that “global warming” was a threat to national security. The Senator got every fact wrong –

New York Governor Paterson Signs Executive Order No. 24, 

Effectively Aiming to Cut New York's Economic Activity 80% by 2050

The executive order by Paterson begins:
WHEREAS, an emerging scientific consensus recognizes that the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, along with other heat-trapping greenhouse gasses, resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels and other human sources, warms the planet and changes its climate;...
Yet many scientists like myself and the signers of the petition on this website believe CO2 IS NOT the driver of climate change, Order 24, Section 4 states:
In aspiring to meet the greenhouse gas emission reduction goal, the Council, in preparing the Climate Action Plan, shall: inventory greenhouse gas emissions within the State, including the relative contribution of each type of emission source.
So it seems businesses and individuals will be included in the inventory to quantify CO2 emissions -- better hide your lawnmower and God forbid you have a tractor or SUV -- the state will be on to you! Perhaps the "green jobs" Paterson is talking about creating are fabricators of camouflage for your evil fossil fuel burning equipment?

Unbelievable.

New York's Cap and Trade System (ie RGGI www.rggi.org) Yields $117 Million  ($3.51 per ton of CO2 from RGGI)

The ten northeastern states that comprise the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) raised more than $117 million in its third auction of carbon emission allowances for the 2009-2012 time period. (click here for more info ...)

Clinton's Apology to India for Climate Change

"Our point is very simple: That we acknowledge, now with President Obama, that we have made mistakes – the United States – and we, along with other developed countries, have contributed most significantly to the problems that we face with climate change."

"What mistakes in particular is Clinton referring to? Perhaps Clinton is speaking about the mistake that CO2 drives climate change;  if that is the case I would agree."

Thanks to Fishkill Tea Party  Organizers and Participants - True Patriots

On July 6th from 7PM to 9PM at Dutchess Stadium, Fishkill New York we attended the Fishkill Tea Party www.fishkillteaparty.com .  We look forward to contributing to future tea parties.

Latest and Greatest Waxman-Markey Bill language changed to "Consumer Refunds" from "Rebates", Also, Treasury trumps President

The latest (June 19, 2009) "Clean Energy Bill"  Refund Section states:

SEC. 789. CLIMATE CHANGE CONSUMER REFUNDS.

    `(a) Refund- In each year after deposits are made to the Climate Change Consumer Refund Account, the Secretary of the Treasury shall provide tax refunds on a per capita basis to each household in the United States that shall collectively equal the amount deposited into the Climate Change Consumer Refund Account.
Compare this to the original (see my June 4th write up below).

The latest and greatest "CO2 Tax + Kitchen Sink Bill" (aka Waxman-Markey Clean Energy Bill) shows a change in language to "consumer refunds" from "rebates" and to Treasury (which effectively is controlled BY THE PRESIDENT) from the more honest and straightforward "President".

Also gone is the pre-election date for the "consumer refunds" -- it's probably best to leave out a date so the President can decide the best time to prime the electorate pump. It has been written in 1759  that George Washington in his first election for a seat in Virginia's House of Burgesses  paid for 160 gallons of rum, wine, beer, and punch on election day. So Obama seems to be in  good company -- perhaps he can buy everyone a case of Sam Adams beer with the Climate Change Refund Account? However, Washington did not take money from individuals and corporations in the names of an unscientific CO2 tax and "spread it around" to others. Therefore, in 2012 if I were offered a case of Sam Adams beer or other "consumer refund" from Obama, I would have to politely decline the historic gesture and remind him, this is the 21st Century.

Almost 50% of Soros' portfolio in 1st Quater of 2009 is in OIL ... yet he supports the "CO2 Tax" to control "Global Warming"?

Soros writes in a recent book,

"Neither energy security nor the control of global warming can be achieved without putting a price on carbon emissions. "

Yet according to several sources, approximately 50% of Soros' portfolio in April of  2009 is in OIL.
          Source: http://www.gurufocus.com/news.php?id=56856)

Soros' publicly stated philosophy is now being realized as U.S. Law through the Waxman-Markey Bill.

Soros also is invested in Powerspan, a Carbon Capture which financially benefits from Waxman-Markey. (Carbon Capture is the discharging of CO2 into tanks instead of the air where it would benefit plants).

So Soros seems set on increasing the price of oil for most Americans, while he benefits from a short term windfall from the panic he created.

CO2 Tax Bill provides mechanism for Obama to "Distribute Funds to Each Household"

Section Sec. 789 (a) of the Waxman-Markey CO2 Tax Bill states:
    Sec. 789 (a) Rebate- Not later than October 31 of each calendar year, the President, or such Federal agency or department as the President may designate, shall distribute the funds in the Consumer Climate Change Rebate Fund on a per capita basis to each household in the United States.
In other words, just in time for elections, Congress/Obama shall "distribute the funds".   Reality is stranger than fiction -- see below link to read more of the madness.

So to sum up the current state of the CO2 Tax Bill, the bill's foundation on non-science,  that CO2 drives climate change.(The majority of Americans wisely do not believe this.) Based on this non-science foundation,  the energy and transportation sector of the economy are wacked with a new tax --the CO2 Tax ( aka cap and trade). Finally, some of the revenue generated from the CO2 tax will be redistributed by the "President or department the President designates" to "each citizen in the United States" in the form of a "rebate" mailed to voting citizens "no later than October 31st" --  just in time for the elections.

But all citizens are not the only ones being paid off. Of course the process itself let's Al Gore's software company Hara Software, as well as numerous other Washington/New York/Silicon Valley companies to siphon money and power from the energy and transportation sector of the U.S. economy. The list of  special interests is too long for me to list in this writing but I would call them "Extreme Lobbyists" -- they are not just influencing policy, they seem to be writing laws that Congress only has the time to "speed read".

Fellow Americans, we are running out of time.

We must publicly show our opposition to the proposed  CO2 tax laws.

Waxman-Markey "CO2 Tax + Kitchen Sink Bill"  (aka American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 Bill)

Read the entire Waxman-Markey CO2 Tax + Kitchen Sink Bill May 15, 2009
at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.2454: and click "Printer Friendly Display"

I couldn't believe my eyes when I browsed this bill -- unbelievable. I have to rethink the CO2 tax  protest because the 111th Congress has expanded its scope into other areas beyond the Cap and Trade Tax System. Cancel your subscription to "Mad Magazine" -- the Gang of Idiots in the 111th Congress is far funnier. I just want to warn you, dear reader, to avoid reading more than 10-pages of the above "Clean Energy Bill" without a break -- you may bust a rib from laughing.

Since this "Gang of Idiots" has the power to make laws that govern us, we can not sit idle. Therefore, CO2isOK.org is organizing a peaceful July 4th march from local Churches  to Town and City Halls across the United States, but NOT Washington, DC -- lobbyists and legislators are not welcome.
