THE GRAND SCHEME: CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO POISON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND CHARGE THEM FOR THE PRIVILEGE
Using the media-driven hysteria over the possibility that there is a phenomenon such as global warming, Congress, at the urging of its special interest supporters, mainly the energy companies and the "financial engineers" of Wall Street are about to perpetrate a fraud upon the American People. If it succeeds, it will be the greatest fraud in the history of mankind: it will fundamentally hand the control over each and every American life to the government, permit unlimited and confiscatory taxation, and any provable results will never be known in ten lifetimes or more.
The scam will result in the continued poisoning of the American public by allowing gross polluters of the environment to continue their polluting activities in return for requiring their rate-payers to fund an enormous new government bureaucracy funded by unconstitutional taxes remitted to the government. In addition, the government will permit the largest socialistic experiment in wealth re-distribution in history to proceed without hindrance.
Scheme participants will reap billions of dollars in profits without doing much more than engaging in Enron-type "paper trading" activities designed to maximize the extraction of "profits" from an unaware citizenry.
About now, you may be thinking that I am either crazy or wildly speculating about the subject matter. Well, proof is now at hand.
Truth: No one, the scientists or the politicians , can prove that the Earth is experiencing a global warming cycle or a global cooling cycle other than to say that temperature fluctuations are a normal part of nature.
Truth: No one can prove that man can grossly affect the powers of nature any more than they can stop the shifting of the tectonic plates to reduce earthquakes, grossly change ocean currents or counteract the ferocious winds caused by variances in solar heating.
Truth: Those that cite outlandish scenarios based on computer models with flawed or inadequate assumptions are not telling the truth. One, about the limitations of the models themselves. Two, the inadequacy of the input data. Three, why the satellite temperature observations show a major variance with the terrestrial observations. And four, the earthly benefits to be derived from a period of increased temperature change.
Truth: That carbon-based emissions (e.g. CO2), as a so-called greenhouse gas, have little no effect on climate change as CO2 is less than 1/10 a major factor as is plain water vapor and that the dissolved CO2 in the oceans and that found in the atmosphere is somewhat constant and form a self-regulating feedback loop. The CO2-climate change graph tends to indicate that CO2 levels lag the temperature rise by 600-1,000 years depending on which study you consider.
Truth: Anti-pollution controls should address heavy-metal contamination and the emission of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur (components in smog and returned to earth as acid rain) first before even considering carbon dioxide which is the key factor in producing life-sustaining oxygen in conjunction with plant life.'
Truth: Global climate change is a product of the politicians who are seeking bigger government, more tax revenue and more control over their individual and collective populations and a complicit and lazy media.
Truth: Any proposed emissions control and trading system will never do much for the climate and will be more about governmental control and making big money while producing nothing of value to society.
Truth: Those who poison the local environment will be allowed to continue their pattern of pollution by simply purchasing mitigation credits. Of course, the local citizens living near the polluting facility will still continue to experience pollution-related health problems -- but, of course, healthcare is a separate government project.
Proof can be found in such bills as Senate Bill S.280...
Enter Senate Bill S.280, known by its benign name the "Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007," and sponsored by the democrats who would subvert the safety, security, sovereignty, and prosperity of the United States. Perhaps you recognize some of the names:
- Sen Lieberman, Joseph I. [CT]
- Sen Carper, Thomas R. [DE]
- Sen Clinton, Hillary Rodham [NY]
- Sen Coleman, Norm [MN]
- Sen Collins, Susan M. [ME]
- Sen Durbin, Richard [IL]
- Sen Klobuchar, Amy [MN]
- Sen Lincoln, Blanche L. [AR]
- Sen McCain, John [AZ]
- Sen Nelson, Bill [FL]
- Sen Obama, Barack [IL]
- Sen Snowe, Olympia J. [ME]
Summary Excerpts...
"A bill to provide for a program to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by establishing a market-driven system of greenhouse gas tradeable allowances, to support the deployment of new climate change-related technologies, and to ensure benefits to consumers from the trading in such allowances, and for other purposes."
"Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007 - Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish and maintain the National Greenhouse Gas Database to collect, verify, and analyze information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions."
Establishes a program for market-driven reduction of GHGs through the use of tradeable allowances. Requires certain covered entities that own or control a source of GHG emissions in the electric power, industrial, and commercial sectors of the U.S. economy to submit to the Administrator, beginning in 2012, one tradeable allowance for every metric ton of GHGs emitted. Requires the Administrator to establish a declining cap on tradeable allowances to reduce GHG emissions over time. Allows tradeable allowances to be sold, exchanged, purchased, retired, borrowed, offset, or otherwise used as permitted by this Act.
Requires the Administrator to establish a program to allow covered entities to earn tradable allowances from developing countries' activities that result in certified emission reductions.
Establishes the Climate Change Credit Corporation to manage tradeable allowances.
And much, much more.
Just what we need... Another Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE): the Climate Change Credit Corporation.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), may I introduce you to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of which suffered billions of dollars in losses, engaged in outrageous lobbying activities with the very government that sponsored their creation, paid millions in salaries in perks to its politically-connected executives and which, if they fail, could plunge the entire world into a global financial nightmare that makes the current subprime meltdown seem almost inconsequential. Just ask Alan Greenspan who has been shouting the risk/control alarm for years.
Imagine the profits that will be made by those, including Al Gore, who plan to create foreign-based emissions credits, package them and sell them to the highest bidder to allow polluters to continue their pattern of pollution. Want an example of the profits to be made in this trading scheme? Just review my previous blog entry citing the

Do not be swayed by junk science that is more a factor of political maneuvering and media hype than real science. Demand proof of a problem before you allow the government to disrupt your life, tax you into the poorhouse and distribute the proceeds to the rich and undeserving as well as those in poorer countries.

And if you feel that I am wrong or misstating the case against current governmental policy, please feel free to comment. Also, please consider that the President of the United States can simply ignore or interpret any energy-related law passed by Congress in a "Signing Statement." A tactic which has been used to great effect by our present Administration to avoid a messy Congressional fight over vetoed bills. The potential for special interest exemptions is enormous and could be further used by both political parties to refill their coffers after the costly 2008 election cycle. The only loser in this scheme seems to be the law-abiding American taxpayer.
