Obama Announces New Emissions and Mileage Standards

Reply to Fred Moolten of PA,

A Comprehensive CO2-mitigation program isn't needed. In 1988 James Hansen testified before congress to scare us about global warming. See his predictions on page 7 of this PDF from NASA’s website:

All satellite data, including this from the University of Alabama at Huntsville proves that he was wrong. The predicted warming never occurred:

2008 was even colder than 1988. Now the politicians are threatening to burden the economy with their Cap-and-Trade tax increase on all conventional energy usage, to be paid for by you every time you buy something manufactured or transported using energy, which includes everything. They claim to be protecting the children, when they are really making plans to subject these children to a poorer future with these taxes, before they are old enough or wise enough to vote against it. Here is more background on Hansen’s hoax from 1988:

31,478 scientists signed a petition opposing the man-made global warming theory. Their reasoning is outlined in a peer reviewed journal article detailing the evidence that disproved the theory. Please follow this link:

All of the so-called ‘alternative’ sources of energy, including wind and solar, equal less than one percent of mankind’s current needs. That’s no alternative. Meanwhile our far more economical access to hydrocarbon energy and nuclear energy is being throttled for no good reason. Gore wouldn't mind impoverishing the rest of us to enrich himself with his ‘carbon trading’ scheme. With the size of his utility bills and the cost of jet fuel for his private jet flying him all over the world, he needs all the money he can get. If he were really worried about CO2, wouldn’t he act like he was worried about his own emissions, and energy consumption? Of course he is received like a hero in Hollywood; he makes hypocrisy fashionable.

This is all being sold to us as if it were ‘scientific’, when really it is an attack on science, an attack on our scientific institutions, an attack on scientists themselves, and an attack on our modern standard of living given to us by previous achievements in science. Here are examples:

The petition project provides a list of names of 31,478 brave scientists courageous enough to go on record opposing the man-made global warming theory, even though they must know it is sure to be used as a ‘blacklist’ to exclude them from consideration for advancement, or grant funding, wherever their institutions still adhere to the politically correct, but scientifically incorrect position on this theory.
