Guy Benson writes, “Thus reads the headline of an important piece in today’s Wall Street Journal Europe. Martin Livermore of the Scientific Alliance cautions the US to learn from Europe’s mistakes.”
Don Surber notes that curiously, the Speaker of the House has asked one of its biggest proponents to lay low: “Pelosi to Gore: Go away”:
Fox News: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she had decided not to impose on the former vice president after the list of undecided lawmakers narrowed Wednesday.”
Of course, that made no sense at all. He was scheduled to speak to Congress at 1 p.m. today.
“It was a question of what was energy efficient for the vice president,” Pelosi said. “We were narrowing the list of the undecided and thought perhaps another occasion we could call upon his time to come here.”
That is illogical. Her vote counting has nothing to do with his appearance…
…unless congressmen did not want him to show up.
Maybe the Nobel-Emmy-Tony-Oscar-Kid’sChoiceAward-winning Gore has fallen so far out of favor with the public that he is the last guy you want speaking for you.
Now there’s an inconvenient truth.
When you say “It doesn’t work” I think it depends on what you’re expecting it to accomplish.
Prevent global warming? No, it won’t do that. (Even in the best of scenarios by its proponents it only delays the inevitable by a small period.)
But it was never really about that. Its proponents have been lying about their true goal.
It’s really about “sustainable development”, which is a leftist code phrase for trying to make world economic development more equal. The idea is to throttle the American economy so that Americans produce less and consume less, while letting poor nations develop and catch up.
If your goal is to slow down the American economic juggernaut and prevent it from growing any further, then there’s no better way to do that then to choke off energy supplies, and that is what the proponents of this are really after.
And if it’s passed, it’ll work, too.
As these charts reveal, the Waxman-Markey legislation will have a huge negative impact on our economy and virtually nil impact on the climate. Charts here:

Man, the Michael Jackson death post has 93 comments, and this one only got two.
And one of those was spam. Sheesh.
