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.

Thank You for Your Submission!

Only a delusional fool would attribute a well-intended plan to work on the bill as a "victory" to some highly biased tabloid Internet site. How desperate is Faux Noise to grab attention to itself? This is the newest low we've seen in a while.
boyahdoggie
IT has attention...my dear!
Hang in there...it will get LOWER you libs are still sleeping...hehehehehehehe
IF you hate this sooooooooo much...then go away..IT'S so simple...then again...that is your problem.
Go hang with your" delusional fools..."

The comment, I'm sure was meant to reflect us Americans writing to our congressmen and voicing our opinion. What’s got your bloomers in a knot, the way it’s written or that you’re not getting your way for a change?

Faux noise - good one, reminds me of MSM, some think that is main stream media but actually it is Misguided Stupid Mumblings

Surely Fox Nation is not claiming victory over anything. THey has successfully ruined Sarah Palin by not promoting any of her real policies and focused on tabloid material with her......and did I mention this little 60 senator thing?
"Fox Nation delays the ineveitable...climate change bill coming"
NC Shamrock
you're aufley smugg; wonder how you're gonna feel when this "precious" gov't comes after YOUR rights!!! (after they got ea group, there was no one left to protect the remaining---Hitler's Germany)
CzarsRUs
Why would they do that??? Aren't your rights the same as mine...as all Americans??
CzarsRUs
Along with many other changes designed to "remake" America. Am I correct??? I do like the new spin that Fox ruined Sarah Palin, think you may have gone over the top on that one just a little though.
DR in NC
Your correct. Fox Nation did not cause the delay. The delay is because lawmakers are afraid of what their constituents will do if they don't do something that makes sense.
moesite
daver; the furious posters on this site and many, many other sites certainly helped cause the delay!! you say it yourself: "the delay is because lawmakers are afraid etc"
well what do you think MADE them afraid?

There is no victory in the fight against 'Cap and Tax' until this bill dies in the Senate.

This may be a bit of a strategic retreat on the part of the Dems to give them time to garner some support for the bill from weak kneed RINO Republicans so they can have political cover by saying Republicans were on board. We may have a bit of a sigh of collective relief, but don't think the battle is over. Lets show them exactly what We the People think it means when the Declaration of Independence says that we have the Right to "alter or abolish" out of control Federal government when it becomes destructive of our liberties. Read this website for a new take on the Right of We the People to do just that. http://avoiceofthepeople.com/blog2.php
WeThePeople
It's always WINTER somewhere on the planet. The seasons and temperature are controlled by the tilt of the earths axis toward or away from the sun. To significantly affect the temperature on the earth, you would have to be able to affect it's position relative to the sun, and the tilt on it's axis. Try correcting that!

IF ***this***is "global warming" how did they manage to grow grapes in Britian a 1000 years ago !???
WeThePeople
Okay, people. Now is not the time to let up either. Please look at this site. It promotes the idea that since the Declaration of Independence says that "We the People" have the right to "alter or abolish" that form of government when it becomes destructive to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...that We the People have the right to put out of office those that act in contradiction of the Constitution. Interesting read. Yes "We the People" have declared war, and here is where you can sign up. This site puts forth a unique proposition, based on the Right of the people in the Declaration of Independence, that we have the right to "alter or abolish" those in office that have violated the Constitution. Read it and see what you think. http://avoiceofthepeople.com/

The globe was warming, until it started cooling. If you look at ALL the science, these cycles have occured throughout the earths history. A few scientists have made theories about how much of this is caused by man, but just as many dispute their theories. The debates are not over and much more research is needed before anyone can make an informed decision. Making crippling laws based on speculation and misinformation is absolutely INSANE.
Ex Pat
Darryl, and were would we find ALL this science? The Christian Monitor site? The preponderance of scientific study points to anthropogenic climate change. The preponderance of right wing blogs points to a hoax to create a one world government or get all rich. Don't confuse the later as science and you'll see that you are wrong. mmmkk?
KJK
Capn Jack, the earth isn't cooling in any sort of long term way. There will always be warmer and cooler spells, global warming or no. Right now we're in one of the cooler spells, but it's almost certainly not as cool as it WOULD have been. That's global warming.
Capn Jack
The bottom line gentlemen is that the earth IS cooling and that one can find scientific data for both sides of the argument. However, the preponderance of evidence is leaning heavily against global warming being man made. In any case no matter what we do, China and India will not go along thereby making this bill a sham.
KJK
dfc, the existence of natural climate change (which no one disputes) doesn't preclude human-induced climate change. Things can have more than one cause. This is like saying, "Humans have been dying of natural causes for millennia, which proves that getting shot is not harmful."
.
Regarding volcanoes, volcanic activity doesn't raise global temperatures, it lowers them. The large volume of particulate matter that enters the atmosphere increases earth's albedo (reflectivity), so more sunlight is reflected back into space, and less reaches the surface. That matter precipitates out of the atmosphere within a few years--but greenhouse gases don't.
Anti-Libtard
Where do you get your science? Al Gore?
Mad Howard Beale
Ex Pat - You need to look back at history and try to explain what is known as "The Little Ice Age" where there was a summer without a summer. This occurred well before the industrial revolution. climate change occurred naturally most likely due to volcanic activity. The outpour of several volcanos would overshadow all of man's output. Large ursts of volcanic activity have occurred in recent history and this is the better evidence of recent climate change not someone's SUV.
KJK
Or, rsnelson and kirk, you could try reading what the scientists say rather than ANY of the media or someone's political blog.
.
PS to Ex Pat: you done the Christian Science Monitor wrong. The "religion" may be a little weird, but CSM is a pretty good paper, and it doesn't deny global warming at all.
rsnelson
try BBC or just type global warming debate on your favorite browser site...its really not that hard to find. Stop believing everything the media tells you and actually use your brain
KIRK
EX PAT . YOU NEED TO READ MORE PUBLICATIONS OTHER THAN THE HUFFINGTON POST AN NEW YORK TIMES.

There’s a difference between believing that global warming exists and believing that man is responsible for it and can control it. Even if we agree that man causes global warming and can control it, the entire world has to participate, not just a handful of countries. Will investing billions, sacrificing jobs and increasing costs for all Americans during a severe economic downturn be worth what we get – or do not get – in return? Forcing cap and trade down our throats while knowing it won’t accomplish much isn’t going to be popular with most Americans and savvy politicians know it, especially now that China and India have refused to join in the effort.
DR in NC
I guess this might be one of those times when savvy politics might cause the lawmakers to do the sensible thing and go slow enough so that it never gets done.
Ex Pat
No one says we can control global warming, we can limited the amount of carbon we're loading into the atmosphere that is responsible for some global warming. When you choose to ignore important hues, it's no wonder your view of the world is so black and white.
True American Patriot
Look, if you think that global warming is a scam, think about it this way...
We are introducing a ton of toxins to the atmosphere where they get trapped. This makes the earth sick. If you introduce a bunch of toxins to your body you oftentimes get sick (smoking, alcohol, etc.). Why is global warming so unbelievable? The earth is ill.
O'Reilly just admitted on his show that he believes in global warming.

chitownpragmat87
I agree with you mike...it's common knowledge that fox is the haven for the conservative right...msnbc is the haven for the liberal left...everyone is entitled to their own opinion so there's nothing wrong with that...however global warming isn't some money grubbing scheme that liberals came up with there is scientific data that proves our planet is warming is it completely caused by man? not necessarily are we accelerating it? probably...regardless of who's right or wrong isn't it smart to invest in green technology? isn't it in our best interest to lower emissions and greenhouse gases? I don't know about you but having lived in LA I know it's not exactly pleasant being advised to stay inside because the air isn't fit to breath...I'm a pragmatist but I have to side with the democrats on this I think we should spend now to save in the long run and not just save money but save our planet and our species...remember we haven't always been here and many species in the past have been wiped out from climate change...and to the fire that's sure to draw from the religious right God put us here to be stewards of this earth...this earth and this life were gifts to us...why wouldn't we want to preserve that and try to live long healthy lives?

The weather that we have been having here in Indiana for the last couple of years reminds me more of the weather and temperatures that we had back when I was growing up in the 1960s. The summers are milder and last winter we had a lot of days that the temperature was below zero. I remember seeing a news report last winter about the ice cover on the Great Lakes and how it has been getting thicker for the last couple of years. I guess that is global warming for you! These liberal idiots are going to send us into another ice age. Hey, Indiana may end up being buried under a glacier again!
banditsmom
Ex Pat,
When Al Gore and the other climate change advocates allow an open discussion with scientists who disagree with them, they might have a little more credibility. As it is now, only when they part the Red Sea will I give an ear to their propaganda.
Ex Pat
Open discussion? What do you mean? It is the most openly discussed and debated scientific theory every, next to evolution. There are more written papers on this subject that any other, there are more open debates on this subject than any other, and there are more column inches dedicated to a debate that really doesn't even exist int he scientific community. You don't need to search hard to find how many peer reviewed scientific papers have been written about this issue, and the see what the preponderance (at about a 100 to 1 ratio) of scientists believe to be fact. Sorry, don't give us this "there is no debate". For starters, AL IS A POLITICIAN and not a scientist. Making a film does not make you the over-riding authority on an issue. But thanks for bring his name up. It's partisan hacks like YOU that hate the man, and know nothing about the science, and you prove it with posts like that.
KJK
Greg, who's hiding climate discussions? They're everywhere. You can't walk down the street without tripping over a climate discussion. But in any event, Ex Pat is quite right: the real place where climate discussions occur is in the scientific literature, which is where it's been going on for decades. The notion of Al Gore debating with scientists is, well, silly. He's not a scientist.

Dumbo, he said when they allow "an open discussion" ...that means we the people get to HEAR it.

One of the main reasons I don't worry about global warming, besides the fact I am not sold on it, is the fact that the earth has a failsafe just in case something bad was to happen to it. The earth is a much more complicated system then we give it credit for. It is complicated but also complex. The earth has a fail safe built into it so that when the earth heats up, even a degree past a certain point, it will warm up the water increasing evaporation, creating cloud, shading the ground, cooling the temperature, and finally lowering the temperature of the earth. About ten years ago the cloud coverage increased, this does not mean rain increased, just clouds, and has been cooling the earth ever since, minus 2006, when there was a temperature spike, but 2007 it continued to fall. There is a great debate that is going on right now about Global Warming. I like reading both sides on www.AmericanParchment.com, there you will get a good spread of information and what governerment and the environment is doing when it comes to the climate.
