Talk About Up Is Down!

Election energizes climate bill talks

WASHINGTON - Seeking to resuscitate stalled global warming legislation in Washington’s suddenly changed political climate, a bipartisan group of senators including John Kerry of Massachusetts has been conducting private talks this week with the White House and a key business group over an array of concessions sought by Republicans.

The election of Scott Brown as Kerry’s colleague has added urgency to the negotiations for a compromise, which would include the Democrats’ goal of limiting carbon emissions while encouraging development of nuclear power, subsidizing coal mining, and drilling for off-shore oil.

Given that one of the criticisms leveled at Scott Brown during the campaign was that he didn't believe in manmade global warming, I find it incredulous that the headline would read "energize" climate bill talks - unless they mean energize as in electrocution. It's interesting to see that, even though much has transpired to put the lie to the alleged "science" behind manmade global warming, the leftists and media (but I repeat myself) just keep chugging merrily along pushing the ZOMG WE MUST DOOOO SOMETHING FOR TEH CHILDRENS! line.

Apparently even losing Ted Kennedy's senate seat in Massachusetts to a Republican didn't cool the Democrats' ardor for controlling the American people.

That is all.

It's not that we don't believe in global warming. It's that we're still angry with President Bush.

Well... at least they want to encourage nuclear power, something I've been agitating for for decades.


word verification: squerma. Sounds like something that that the Dems came down with after Brown won his election...
