FOX Nation Victory! Obama's Drive for Climate Change Bill Delayed!
President Barack Obama's push for quick action by Congress on climate change legislation suffered a setback on Thursday when the U.S. Senate committee leading the drive delayed work on the bill until September. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said her self-imposed deadline of early August for finishing writing a bill to combat global warming has been put off until after Congress returns from a recess that ends in early September.

The problem is: the "facts" that are being flung around the most common search sites are liberal blah blah...which, incidentally, is also being taught in schools. I read several articles putting CO2 at 3% to 9%, all stating that the largest portion of greenhouse gases are water vapor of varying types. You say .04%...whatever...in any case it's all negligible and doesn't in any way indicate global warming, let alone MAN MADE global warming.
So, yes, we should probably blame water, and the sun's trajectory and the thinning of the Earth's crust and the possibility that the Earth is in a period of reverse polarization...but the govt can't tax these things.
I watched Al Gore's "Truth" movie. I learned nothing. I saw him flying around on a jet using a laptop and using Powerpoint to make pretty pictures. There was no science.
I also read there are over 7000 scientists who disagree with global warming theory. It's time they open their mouths and contribute to the "hot air".
mav
I recently read a report that Carbon dioxide represents slightly more than 3% of all greenhouse gases.
BTW- no one has ever explained how the Carbon dioxide gets into the atmosphere, since it generally weighs more than air itself.
Anti-Libtard
Man-made carbon dioxide is only 0.117 percent of total carbon dioxide in the air and contributes only 0.0047 percent carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

It is very important that we realize that this Cap and Tax Bill was, once again, rammed through the House without anyone reading it. This could be the largest tax hike in history, causing even more unemployment and raising the cost of doing business and purchase prices of almost everything.
Here in IL, Representative Mark Kirk (R) voted for this bill. He was one of 7 Republicans who voted yes. He is now running for IL Senator in 2010. Please join me by sending him a message. Do NOT support Mark Kirk. CAP the spending. TRADE in Congress!
It's time to send Congress a strong message. They were hired BY us to represent WE THE PEOPLE. If they don't listen, take them out in 2010.
mav
Hardly anyone covered the House vote. Yes, Michael Jackson died...we all know that.
For all those that care not to be taxed into oblivion, we MUST ALL write, phone...be general pains in the ________ to the Senators. I plan to write many Senators, not just the lame ducks here in NY.
Kipling
Mav,
Must be in their genes. I write, phone, email my Senators and representatives and the form letters arrive. Most replies don't even address the issue I raised.
AAAUUUGGHH
Un-elect them all!

I also wrote my House Congressman the day before the vote. He, of course, voted for it. I wrote again and told him I would not vote in the next election for him, specifically becuz of his "Aye" vote. I got a nice form letter from him. I wrote him again, going point by point in opposition to everything in his form letter. He sent me the same form letter, again. I just sent another email to him thanking him for not reading what I wrote, much like the Cap & Trade Bill, and reiterated that perhaps he will have more free time after the next election.
I noticed he is now placing advertising on tv with his phone number to call and thank him for voting for HR2454 Cap & Trade. This is PROOF that they are feeling the pressure of people being thorns in their sides.

It is pretty funny though. The earth cools before it heats, and then it cools again, before it heats up again, with some cooling periods in between before it heats up again, with the sea level dropping .000000000000000000000001 of an inch, but then we have a cooling period and it rises .0000000000000000000001. Some days the sun doesn't shine though and screws everything up. But I have noticed that when the sun shines, it is a little warmer generally.

Some interesting information from the founder of the Weather Channel. You can also search John Coleman and Global Warming on You Tube:
http://www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/13681217.html
KJK
John Coleman, unfortunately, has no science background or education; his most advanced degree is a 1957 BA in journalism. He's a TV weatherman, nothing more. Why anyone would listen to him and disregard the 90% of actual earth scientists who disagree with him is something that is quite beyond my understanding.
mav
Oh no! If it's warmer when the sun shines, it's PROOF of global warming!
CzarsRUs
And when the sun doesn't shine????? It is proof of global cooling. We bundle it all up and call in climate change.

Contacting your members of Congress is great. I have asked both of my Senators to send out a schedule of town hall meetings when they are on break. If emails and phone calls work then just think what a face to face would do. I really don't think they can answer the questions we have. Push for town hall meetings (that are not rigged) for this break in congress.

"We the People" have them surrounded, and now there's proof that they know they are in deep doodoo. Keep up the pressure on ALL fronts. Let's drive them to distraction, like they tried to do to us.
moesite
mikeinidaho; yes, we are temporarily victorious!! and youre so right that we have to KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!
ive been doing my share by sending ALL SENATORS postcards by the dozens! and i mean DOZENS!!
Im so glad to see quite a few people like you are now mentioning that theyve been contacting these idiots!!
Abisnana
I think the people have a lot to do with it. My senators have gotten an earful from me. We should make sure this bill goes down. Remember they serve at our pleasure.
CzarsRUs
But the czars don't. They are the real power behind the throne.
dk
These "czars" y'all hate so much are just heads of departments or perople in charge of particular programs. Such people didn't exist before? There were no heads of departments or people in charge of programs before the media decided it would be fun to call them all "czars"?

I am looking forward to BOXER...no madam or senator...just boxer coming home here to Cal...NOT so sure she will be very happy when she gets pinned to the ground with ALL of us telling her what we think of her. She has been hearing from us here as well as people on a Nation basis. I hope she gets and IOU...but I guess the gov has NOT run out of MONEY yet...OH to bad!
People here are not over the slap she gave our military guy...the word is...NO one is to call her anything but madam...I sure hope that holds true...beats some of the others things I have heard that people want to call her...

I blog to let off steam most of the time; if it gets posted, great, if not, no big deal; however, when I click on "start discussion", or "submit reply" and it goes nowhere? Now THAT is frustrating! I have tried twice before now to send this, without success. Wonder if it will go this time?
KJK
Nobody's moderating it, 2ndstgin. I don't think anyone ever did, but now the posting message doesn't even make that claim any more.
2ndstgin
The erratic nature of this blog drives me nuts too. Every time I post I wonder if I'm just wasting my time. Also, some posters have purposely written things merely to create chaos. Whoever is moderating this site does a piss poor job.

A real Fox Nation victory would be for Fox Nation to explain why we users have such a hard time getting through and getting some comments posted.
Is it a virus? sabotage? our end? their end? What's going on?

It's those devious Liberals messin' us up!

I wonder sometimes if they can see what it is I am writing...then it goes NO WHERE. Have you seen now many mutiple posts there has been...when you have to hit and hit and hit to get it to gooooo maybe NO WHERE or many times it posts.
THEY want MORE people here too. Doing the ads and the bumper sticker...what are they going to do then..SPEND $18 MILLION to fix this mess.
Just a note...this has been going on since DAY ONE...IF that makes you feel any better...hahaha
mersey
I just wrote and email to Fox about this mess, but I doubt if I'll get a reply.....unless I buy something at the Fox store....lol.

When will you realize that CO2 is a natural and necessary greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are not evil. The are necessary to keep the earths temperature regulated. The Earth can take care of itself. Are we going to tax nature? Nature produces about 94% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. The earth has been here for 4.5 billion years, has gone through many climate cycles. It has been much warmer and much colder than it is now. Unless the dinosaurs were industious creatures, climate change cannot be contributed to anything manmade. IT'S NATURE FOLKS.
Craig

You obviosly have never taken any courses on this topic and probably only bealive what you read from anti-global warming sites.
C02 is natural you are correct, HOWEVER to much of it in the atmosphere,The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a record high. Plants can only absorb so much C02 there will be a point where they hit a breaking point and can no longer absorb all the excess C02. To say that since the industrial revolution the levels of green house gases have risen faster then any other time is not due to humans is to reject rational thought.
KJK
Anti-Libtard, if you're going to state that scientists disagree with AGW, why would you not also point out that roughly 10x as many agree with it? What is wrong with this picture?
Anti-Libtard
Hey Craig, changed my name to anti- libtard, seems more fitting. If you are such a expert in the subject, please do some research. Clearly you've never taken a basic chemistry and physical science course. Your 4th grade facts that you list have nothing to do with the scientific community researching the subject. Congratulations, you discovered that plants absorb CO2. Good job, you're a genius.
DiG
It seems that your education was the indoctrination from a liberal point of view and you will trash all others for it does not conform to this aforementioned indoctriantion. Please be advise, review ALL information then you will draw your own conclusion. Wait a minutes...that's critical thinking, I'm sorry your indoctrination does not allow that.
Anti-Libtard
I'm sure that your education on the subject outweighs that of thousands on scientists. Please enlighten us. There is no PROOF that carbon dioxide has contributed to global warming, let alone carbon dioxide produced by man
breadman
To think that we puny humans can impact the earth in that way is the height of hubris. To bring our economy to its knees for the sake of possibly affecting the climate 100 years from now, given that we humans usually make things worse is idiotic. Especially since the two largest polluters on the planet have told us to go pound salt.
KJ
Your absolutely right...BUT layin' it on Nature doesn't put money in GE's bank account and it doesn't put money in Al Gore's pocket. For those reasons alone, GOREbal Warming will be with us for a long time!

I'll elaborate on that term.... GORE BULL Warming

That's awesome. Haven't heard that term yet, GOREbal Warming, ha ha

I can't wait to see the prez in one of these tiny electric cars...NO big caddy with bullett proof windows. IF we have to then HE has to. NOW that's natural.
Are we to STOP breathing because that to is co2...how about China and India and other OVER populated places??

But that is one of the beauties of a socialist republic. He won't be riding in a tiny car.....you will.

I paid my first visit to Media Matters. I know, I know, why would I do a thing like that, but the difference between it and Fox Nation is amazing. The Fox Nation ALLOWS dissenting comments and opinions from "Progressives", but any comment that I tried to post was BLOCKED. And they complain about Fox News NOT being "Fair and Balanced". What a joke.
AlanB
Whoa there, Media Matters doesn't block dissenting comments. There's plenty of it there. Either it wasn't censored at all (MM is moderated, so posts can take several hours to show up) or the posts were off-topic or abusive. I am NOT saying that your posts were either of those, but MM certainly does not block dissent.
mersey
I'm starting to think this site has been compromised. I am struggling to get my comments posted.
CzarsRUs
They complain about Fox because it is the only network left that is not under the Dems control. They will revive the "fairness doctrine" in an effort to silence Fox.
