And the Legislature is scratching their heads as to why the California Economy is not recovering. Are they really that clueless or are we dealing with a global warming religious issue, for which there are no compromises and science does not count.” “The cost of AB32″

“The first official forward pass occurred on September 5, 1906 in a game between the St. Louis University Billikens and the Carroll College Pioneers. St. Louis halfback Bradbury Robinson completed a 20-yard pass to receiver Jack Schneider that he ran in for a touchdown. St. Louis won the game 22-0 and went on to post an 11-0 record that season using the new “open-style” game. They went on to outscore their opponents that season 407-11.”

This isn’t about football. Football is a game. To borrow a phrase from the kids “Obama don’t play.” People know something is wrong, terribly wrong. They think they know how to fix it. The talking heads on the radio tell them to do it. THEY know, don’t they? NO. The eleven coach’s whose teams played St. Louis that year knew football, but….football had changed. The old tricks didn’t work for them. The old political moves won’t help you either. Obama has found a way around them and somebody better find a defense fast. This isn’t a game; it’s your country and your life.

“Oh, it only passed the House. We’ll stop it in the Senate.” No, you won’t. See that ball flying over your head to that player way the hell down field? What’s he doing down there anyway? Winning the game. Heck, you don’t have anybody down there to stop him at all, do you? Game over. Learn the new rules, make up some new defenses or just snap on your slave chains, America. Forget “stopping cap and trade”. Once CO2 is declared a “dangerous pollutant” the EPA, an agency in the EXECUTIVE department can create any and all rules and regulations that it wants. Since Obama can fire them, they want what the Fuhrer wants.

Hey, want to call your congressman about the crazy idea that you kid can’t bring Kool-Aid or Cokes or Cake to a birthday party at her school. The band or the team or ANYBODY can’t sell candy or control the vending machines to raise money? Forget it. Your congressman is as powerless as you and your local school board once the recent legislation has been passed putting the Commerce Dept in charge of ALL FOOD AND DRINK sold, eaten or consumed in a school. That would be —– part of the EXECUTIVE area of ”your” government aka Senor Obama. Too bad.

Know anything about “treaties”? Probably not much except that the US broke quite a few with the Indians. Well, actually the Indians sued eventually and won quite a bit of money from Uncle Sam. Actually, the Indians sued with more or less success back in the 1800’s. You see TREATIES are LAW. They actually rank above all federal and state laws except the constitution itself. So…… If we sign a law saying that the USA will cut CO2 emmissions by some ridiculous amount or any other silly promise remember…. This AIN’T the 1800’s and if the President wants to enforce it, he will and he CAN. Sorry, nothing much your little friends in “Congress” can do about it very easily. They can’t just pass a law, they have to figure out how to abrogate the treaty. Without the President’s cooperation that would be 2/3 of both houses of congress. How often has THAT happened in the last 10 years? Look it up. It will scare you better.

Here’s the point people. You and I elected a madman. With absolutely no experience in anything at all except theoretical law — a area where you just SAY something to make it real — he fully expects the word to be your bond. As a matter of fact, he signed a bunch or treaties with Russia the other day and some more with the G8 nations. He announced that we won’t be waiting for that silly old tradition of having Congress OK them. We will just start enforcing them immediately.

Remember that forward pass. The first game it’s understandable people were suprised, but for 11 straight games team after team lost and lost big. We can’t afford that kind of record against the University of Obama Screws U. but it’s probably coming anyway. Try to explain THIS ONE to your “congressman”. Betcha he don’t get it.

I thought he looked familiar…

I do believe in the Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis however. Just look at the GISS and Hadley temperatures soar even as I freeze to death (in NZ). Both Hansen and Jones are Anthropods.

A carbon fee-and-dividend would be an economic stimulus and boon for the public. By the time the fee reached the equivalent of $1/gallon of gasoline ($115/ton of CO2) the rebate in the United States would be $2000-3000 per adult or $6000-9000 for a family with two children.

All I can tell is that Hansen is no economist, whether acting as a NASA scientist or a private citizen.

There also appears to be a wide gap between his rhetoric on coal and his actions. If coal trains really are to be compared to trains taking Jews to concentration camps (a hideous comparison that I refuse to justify for a second) then the consistent response would be to have them closed down immediately. All of them.

Its strange that Hansen never articulates the obvious conclusion of his argument.

And just to go a little OT – it looks like we are going down that same path in Iraq.

When Democrats run the government they seem to be unable to support our allies and snub our enemies.

He then outlines a more efficient way to get a tiny reduction.

George E. Smith (09:29:09) :
“”” Mr Lynn (17:34:12) :

. . .The concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere now stands at 387 parts per million, the highest level in 600,000 years and more than 100 ppm higher than the amount at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. . .”

Evidently we can’t get above 22 deg C for some reason; well we haven’t in the last 600 million years; which is 1000 times longer than Mr Lynn’s history. . .

George! That was HANSEN I was guoting in the blockquote! You’ve got me confused with him! Aaaaagh!

REPLY: Mr. Bowman, you might want to consider whether your comments to this blog fit within NASA’s “acceptable use policy” during work hours on the taxpayers dime. What is most troubling is that a NASA scientist has not the courage to put his name to his words. But given the wording, I suppose I’d try to hide also. – Anthony Watts
