The Real Conference in Copenhagen

Copenhagen looks like it may end up being “Nopenhagen” by the time the negotiations are concluded. China has been targeted as the nation that has brought the process to a halt; that is unless you speak to representatives of Socialist nations in which case it is the fault of America and her Capitalist stooges. Oh if that were only true!

In the latest round of negotiations, China said they would enter a non-binding agreement to reduce their CO2 emissions but has abjectly refused to allow access for international verification of that reduction. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said the United States would enter into a climate treaty and would contribute to a $100 billion dollar per year fund to assist developing nations in creating environmentally sound industry and infrastructure provided that the agreement among developed nations was binding and the emission reductions were verifiable.

While some called Hillary’s comments about the prerequisite of a binding and verifiable treaty before the U.S. would participate, an overt jab at China, I have a different take on that. I believe that was the first indication that the administration is beginning to realize that there is no public support for a climate treaty and that the legislation required to meet the President’s optimistic goals of greenhouse gas reduction would be impossible to pass with our current economic challenges.

The world held it’s breath as our fearless leader arrived in Copenhagen last night. No, they really didn’t but since Obama loves to hear stuff like that I figured I would throw it in anyway. Intent on achieving something after spending so much taxpayer money to get there, the big “O” changed his schedule to attend an emergency meeting to try to broker a last minute deal. This time it was China’s turn to take a jab at us by sending the Vice Foreign Minister to the meeting instead of a senior official. Vice Foreign Minister Yafei’s power within the Chinese government is equivalent to that of a Lieutenant Colonel in the Salvation Army. While Yafie can speak about his government’s position in matters of State, he cannot negotiate nor agree to treaties on China’s behalf. Clearly, China does not have the same awe for Obama that SEIU, ACORN or dozens of other American parasites do, and they have no problem showing it.

The so-called, developing nations really don’t give a damn about the harsh criticism that global warming is now under and could care less about the trickery and slight of hand used to create the science behind it; they want our money. In fact, the principal spokesmen for the developing nations stated quite firmly that $100 billion a year isn’t enough and they want $200 billion; which is the U.N. equivalent of “That’s a nice planet you got there pal…It would be a shame if something was to happen to it.” I haven’t seen this kind of outright criminal extortion since they read the transcripts of John Gotti’s conversations during his racketeering trial.

These “developing” nations, for the most part, have no industry but war with each other. Many are dictatorships that already use charitable food programs to cultivate their own power so why would anyone believe a windfall from climate agreements would go to anything besides the numbered bank accounts of the potentates that have already emptied their own treasuries? It seems to me that denying them this slush fund would go a lot further at keeping those nations green than giving them the funds to buy more military equipment and golden toilets.

On a far more serious note, the true nature and depth of the climate debate is slowly being uncovered in Copenhagen for all to see. Let’s start with the obvious hypocrisy of the leaders of the member nations. The coverage of the arriving delegates included some details that would not be unusual if this were not a conference on reducing the global emission of greenhouse gas; but it is. There were hundreds of private jets and thousands of limousines just to bring the delegates to the conference; culminating with Obama arriving at the last minute on his Boeing 747.

In fact, Copenhagen did not have enough limousines to transport the delegates so they had to bring in hundreds more from bordering countries. If they absolutely had to attend, why couldn’t they “green” the conference and share a bus from the airport to the conference center? Could it be that Copenhagen, the host city of the Climate Conference, has more limousines than buses? I know Paul Miller at Arizona Bus Sales has a great inventory of buses that should be part of any real climate conference…call him and park the limos; at least make it appear that you are environmentally savvy. Imagine the contribution that using one bus instead of fifty limousines would make towards the goal of greenhouse gas reduction. Why it might even lend some legitimacy to the conference!

In sheer irony, the average American would probably have to live more than a thousand years to equal the “carbon footprint” produced by just transporting the delegates to the climate conference. Isn’t funny how the people that are most involved with leading the charge on global warming love to use private planes and limousines; arguably the most inefficient and ecologically harmful way to travel? Al Gore refused to comment on that observation as he boarded his private jet, giving us the appearance that we are not worthy of an answer and adding the charge of elitist to hypocrite.

Of course, if the member nations were serious about reducing CO2 emissions, they would have teleconferenced instead but then they would miss all of the opulence and splendor that comes with being a visiting head of state; it appears they are more interested in the conference parties than being a part of the conference. Despite the best effort of Copenhagen’s mayor prior to the conference, I’m sure there was an appreciable increase in CO2 emissions from the “red light district” too, as delegates produced billowing clouds of heavy breathing far from the critics at home. To add insult to injury, I’m sure they got there by limousine too.

The most disturbing revelation of the conference came from the speech that Hugo Chavez made and the standing ovation he received for spouting out more anti-capitalist / pro-Marxist rhetoric. Mr. Chavez took the podium and said:

“One could say, Mr. President, that a ghost is haunting Copenhagen, to paraphrase Karl Marx, the great Karl Marx, a ghost is haunting the streets of Copenhagen, and I think that ghost walks silently through this room, walking around among us, through the halls, out below, it rises, this ghost is a terrible ghost almost nobody wants to mention it: Capitalism is the ghost, almost nobody wants to mention it. It’s capitalism, the people roar, out there, hear them.

Socialism, the other ghost Karl Marx spoke about, which walks here too, rather it is like a counter-ghost. Socialism, this is the direction, this is the path to save the planet, I don’t have the least doubt.”
Hugo Chavez

Thank You Mr. Chavez, for making my point. Global warming is not about warming at all, but about the global spread of Marxism. Climate change is not about the climate, it is about a forced change in political ideology. The only reason why our government is playing along with this now is that Democrats control the Congress, Progressive Marxists control the Democrats and the current President is, after all, a former Democratic Congressman and a Progressive Marxist. Some of Obama’s advisors like Carol Browner, belonged to Socialist International, a group dedicated to the creation of a global government under Marxist ideals. Van Jones, Obama’s former green jobs Czar was a self proclaimed and admitted Communist. Cass Sunstein promotes the use of climate legislation to redistribute American wealth and industry to other nations and John Holdren believes we should take drastic steps including forced sterilization and abortion to reduce earth’s population. Everyone in the Obama administration speaks of the world first and America second, exemplifying their real agenda.

In short, the inmates are running the asylum and the Marxist globalists smell blood in the water. They believe that with Obama’s help, the Capitalist pillars that support America will crumble and then we can enter a new era, complete with a single world government that will spread earth’s resources and man’s wealth in an equal, but very thin blanket. Of course our jet setting Copenhagen delegates will be exempt from that marginalized existence just as they are now. The elite will never suffer, especially if a day comes when they have control of everything you used to own.

Copenhagen Unwittingly Exposes Climate Fraud

The climate conference in Copenhagen is becoming a running commentary on everything I told you it would be. Ironically, thousands of arriving delegates had to stand outside in freezing rain, snow and bitterly cold temperatures while conference personnel sorted out their registration difficulties. Apparently the body of nations that wants to impose international rule over the evils of industrial societies do not possess the required brain power to realize that you cannot fit the invited 45,000 delegates in a building designed for a maximum occupancy of 12,000 people. How encouraging.

There were more headlines Monday as a contingent of poorer nations stormed out of the negotiations because their demands for money were not being adequately addressed. In somewhat of an eco-reparations scheme, they contend that since industrial nations have already produced nearly two centuries of greenhouse gas, we should pay them (handsomely) because they haven’t. While it’s true that pre-industrial and developing nations emit very little greenhouse gas, this is not proof of their ecological prowess; it is a commentary on their corrupt governance.

Many of these nations have failed to develop because their war-lord leaders steal as much as possible from their own people and that has stalled any growth of their economy or industry. Pre-conference estimates said the climate accords could eventually result in a massive redistribution of wealth from prosperous nations to the poorer nations of as much as $145 Trillion dollars. Even if that were true, it is doubtful that this money would be used to develop environment friendly infrastructure in those countries as advertised. Instead, I envision massive retrofits of the palatial dwellings of hundreds of war-lords and totalitarian leaders while the people of those nations continue to live in squalor; cooking their meager meals on fires of dried ox dung.

The talks were not quite as lucrative for those poor nations as they had expected and the commitment for that kind of transfer of wealth was just not fleshing out. I don’t blame them for being upset. I am a regular Power Ball player so I understand their disappointment. I was checking numbers on a recent ticket I had purchased and had the first three in a row. I had envisioned all the ways I was going to spend my fortune before realizing that those were the only three numbers I was going to get and my fortune would be a mere seven dollars. Of course the delegates’ walkout only lasted a couple of hours since global warming hasn’t quite reached Copenhagen and the temperatures were below freezing outside of the conference hall.

There were also massive demonstrations all around the conference area demanding immediate action to “save the planet”. Curiously, the angry mobs were carrying flags adorned with the Communist Hammer and Sickle which may have shocked Danish police, but really shouldn’t surprise anyone that regularly reads this blog. Marxists have long recognized that the climate movement is the best possible vehicles to have capitalist nations commit suicide, eventually forcing their people in to socialism to survive. Apparently, climate-gate had the same catastrophic result for die hard communist intentions that the fall of the Berlin Wall had. You see, not everyone cheered at the collapse of the Soviet Union. For these throw-backs to the days of Stalin, hysteria over global warming was supposed to mean a resurgence of Marxism while us silly westerners cut our own financial throats to save the planet.

The President plans to attend the last day of the conference and rumors say that he will offer guarantees that the United States will commit to a 17% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020; a guarantee he has no authority to make unless he plans to scrap the Constitution and negate its requirement that international treaties must be ratified by a 2/3 majority of the Senate. Apparently that is the plan, at least in spirit. According to Robert Creamer’s book, “Stand up Straight, How Progressives Can Win”, one of his strategies to advance progressive agendas is to create a crisis and then offer the people the lesser of two evils as a solution. You remember Robert Creamer, the husband of Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)? He wrote this book while serving a prison sentence for attempting to defraud banks of $2.3 million to keep his insolvent progressive activist group afloat.

The lessons in his book have not fallen on deaf ears. Obama’s chief political advisor, David Axelrod, calls the book a “blueprint” for progressive victory. Well I suppose it’s comforting that the White House understands the concept of victory even if they have no intention of applying the discipline to foreign affairs. Now that Cap and Trade had been called dead on arrival, the President’s appointed hit man (or should I say hit person), Lisa Jackson of the EPA is issuing her ultimatum to Congress. Without Cap and Trade, warns Ms. Jackson, the EPA will exercise its authority under the Clean Air Act and begin the process of regulating CO2 production as a function of “command and control”. The threat is a clear assault by this administration against the authority of Congress and the most blatant misuse of government power to date.

The “deal” Lisa Jackson offered is that the EPA can enact regulatory control over the production of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses without the market based initiatives that would allow the trade of carbon credits, effectively shutting down all industry in the United States (The evil plan) or Congress can pass Cap and Trade that promises to damage business, raise energy costs for everyone, raise taxes and put millions out of work (the lesser of the two evils plan). How about door number three? If Congress can find the will (and the courage) to face this President and his radical advisors, they can pass a single page bill excluding CO2 from the Clean Air Act. Sure, that would result in law suits between environmentalists, the EPA and the Federal government but at least we could focus on getting millions of people off unemployment and putting them back to work while they sort the logistics out in the courts for the next forty years. If Congress fails to restrain the EPA, millions more will be out of work and our financial system will finally collapse.

Don’t forget the premise of Cap and Trade was meant to reduce global warming and have the added benefit of bringing America into a 21st century “green” economy. We now know through leaked e-mails and documents that “global warming” is the largest hoax ever perpetrated against the people of the world and that the latest verifiable data shows the earth is actually cooling. Besides the mitigation of global warming, we are being promised that if Cap and Trade passes that another main goal is to eliminate our dependency on foreign oil as we shift to renewable and non-polluting energy sources such as solar and wind power. Do you really think that can happen on a national level when environmental groups are filing one law suit after another effectively ceasing all major wind and solar projects now?

A recent project to install wind generating facilities in one of this nation’s desert regions, was brought to a screeching halt be one such law suit. The suit maintains that the installation would destroy the desert environment, ruin the natural beauty and affect a multitude of endangered species. It seems the only species that environmentalist are not concerned with are humans so even renewable, clean energy projects are being fought because that would allow us to continue to thrive. Desert lizards are far more deserving than we are and according to the most radical environmentalists, the loss of billions of humans would only begin to restore balance to the planet.

The reality of the situation has not deterred the White House and according to them, we are going to reduce CO2 production no matter how bad it is for the nation and how phony the science of global warming is found to be. The EPA declared its endangerment finding based on the reports issued by the IPCC. The IPCC reports were constructed using the data prepared by the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia; data that was proven to be manipulated and manufactured by those damaging e-mails that were released by an unknown whistle blower. Even though there is now concrete evidence that opposing scientific views were not only ignored but the scientists that brought them to the table were intentionally discredited; even thought there is concrete evidence that the work of the CRU and the IPCC was a calculated lie designed to provide proof of global warming by rigging the data to hide historical fluctuations in climate prior to industrial pollution, the push for climate legislation and EPA regulation continues.

It will not stop there. As if taking over the banking industry, the auto industry, the healthcare industry and now the regulation of CO2 was not enough to prove this administration is seeking to cultivate incredible power in violation of the Constitution; the Congress is now discussing amending the Clean Water Restoration Act. The CWRA currently gives the Federal government regulatory control over all navigable waters in and around the United States. The proposed amendment would expand that regulatory authority to ALL waters in and around the United States. Wetlands, streams, lakes, farm ponds, wells, aquifers; even dry washes that only carry water once every ten years would then be subject to Federal regulation.

What is going on here? The Constitution is being trashed before our eyes and the government is actively seizing control of food, water, jobs and healthcare….everything that would make it possible for the citizens to mount a successful opposition to the dismantling of our way of life. After all, how far would a citizen revolt get without money, food or water? None of this is by chance and if there were any doubts, we now know with certainty what Obama meant when he declared before Election Day, that we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America”. I see a lot that is being transformed and if they are successful, the Constitution will be relegated to the dust bin of history and replaced with a new document that will bring all of us to our knees. If we let them do that, what will you tell your children and grandchildren when they ask you why?

The Manchurian Candidate

The climate debate is raging in Copenhagen and as I suspected, is turning into a money issue between poorer and richer nations. After all, the UN promised that there would be a major shift of wealth from the suckers, I mean the western industrial nations to the parasites…oops…I mean developing nations. I am not disparaging the poor. They have an awful existence but one would have to be foolish to ignore that the impoverished people of those nations are the victims of massive government corruption within their own countries and not suffering because the west prefers I-Pods to drums and cars to ox carts.

EPA Chief Lisa Jackson is there to calm the nerves of Obama’s globalist friends in the UN by laying out her plan to negate Congressional authority and bypass the democratic process by unilaterally enacting sweeping regulations in the US to cap greenhouse gases through a dangerous loophole crafted into the clean air act. This, my friends, is what happens when you elect a radical to the Presidency. They appoint radical environmentalists to positions of power such as Carol Browner, and the radicals in turn, use our own laws against us to bring about their own twisted agenda based on bad science and egalitarian socialist principals.

Half of Obama’s appointees believe in a one world government responsible for controlling every facets of human existence and the other half have a world first, people last eco-fascist mentality. Both of these factions believe their ideology is too important to worry about the sovereignty of the United States and if we must cease to exist as a nation for the greater good of the world, then that is a small price to pay. Don’t believe me? Then why, when all evidence points to a massive, international and concerted effort to conceal the fallacies of the global warming theory, has the EPA decided to “go rogue” and continue these insanely damaging policies to cripple business in the US in the name of reducing greenhouse gasses?

Global warming proponents are disregarding the evidence contained in these e-mails stating that there is sufficient corroboration in the work of other climate scientists to validate the existence of man-made global warming. Really? Does it matter that the believers in global warming, as a body, have collaborated on their work and many use the same data sources; data that is proven to have been manipulated? Does it matter that dissenting views and research by serious scientists that contradict the theory of global warming have not only been locked out of the discussion but that any peer paper or organization that even print their work have been ostracized as well?

The religious leaders of the global warming camp have pointed to NASA and NOAA as collaborative proof of global warming, noting studies and reports that confirm their findings. Unfortunately for them, NASA has been brought under fire and the researcher that issued the report validating global warming has refused to release his data, even under the threat of a Freedom of Information law suit. We all know that Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia had sent e-mails warning colleagues to destroy damning communications and data before a Freedom of Information Act suit could be brought. The CRU recently announced that its climate data from 1960 to present has been “irretrievably lost” but denies that this has anything to do with Mr., Jones’s e-mails. Add to this that NOAA personnel have also actively sought to silence dissenting views and have recently been caught eliminating the input of live satellite data from their computer model to better show the rise in sea temperature.

Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. There is nothing in the explanation of the scientific method that would allow a researcher from distorting or deleting “observable, empirical and measurable evidence” because it contradicts their pre-conceived ideas about what should be happening. If the evidence does not correspond, then the theory is wrong….plain and simple; at least it should be.

There is far too much effort being exerted to force everyone into the acceptance of global warming, or climate change as it is now called, to be a matter of scientific rationale. Let’s face it, if the empirical evidence is there; if this is a solid scientific fact then why aren’t the climate change proponents opening the books and showing the world their proof? Instead all we have heard is “So what….a few e-mails do not negate the science.” Then where is the science?

In 1917, Albert Einstein applied his general theory of relativity to the universe and was stunned at what he found. According to his theories, the universe must be expanding but as a devout creationist, he believed that a universe created by God had to be static and eternal. The evidence was there and the mathematics were solid, but his faith in God prevented him from believing in his own work. It wasn’t until Edwin Hubble correctly interpreted the Doppler shift in 1929 that the expanding universe became part of our store of scientific knowledge. I believe in God, but I also believe that God would put all of the physical laws in place to sustain whatever he created; so I can exist quite comfortably with science and religion. Einstein could not believe that a created universe could be dynamic and expanding so he suppressed his own theory.

Similarly, climate change fanatics are so convinced that man is destructive to the planet that our industrial society must be harmful. The theory of global warming was written in part, because of recurrent and persistent droughts in certain areas of the world. Even though there was sufficient evidence of historically massive swings in earths climate that occur as part of the natural cycles of the sun’s output coupled with fluctuations in the earth’s orbital path, the seemingly religious fervor of environmental radicals refused to acknowledge anything that did not lay the blame squarely at man’s feet. Let’s not forget that these are the same people that warned of an impending ice age during the first “Earth Day” back in 1970. According to the same eco-nuts that are pushing global warming now, the earth was being thrust into an ice age because our industrial pollution was blocking the sun’s warming and nurturing rays, giving us only decades to avert disaster.

The last and most dangerous part of this equation is that there are always malevolent forces hiding in the shadows waiting to exploit man’s foolishness. The threat of global catastrophe has long been viewed by those that seek absolute political power as the one thing that would entice people to act without reason. We would deal with economic woes and even the threat of war but when the future of our children is brought into question, all bets are off. We will do anything for our children; even give up our wealth and sovereignty as long as we can guarantee their safety. This is well known to our enemies.

It wasn’t Russia that tried to crush us in the ‘60’s, it was communism. They tried to subvert our culture and for some, it worked; but the majority of America resisted because it threatened our children’s future. They tried to engage us in a war of economics but communism cannot out-produce capitalism because they have no profit motive. They threatened war and again, we resisted with a massive arms buildup to protect our children. Now they have the ultimate weapon, the threat of world annihilation at our own hands. They are hell bent on convincing us that we are killing our own children through our corrupt way of life, expecting that we will finally surrender and for the first time in history, they have a willing ally in the White House.

Do I believe that Obama is a willing part of this conspiracy? No, I think that like the bulk of his radical czars and other friends, he has been brainwashed only because Joe McCarthy was never able to finish his work of routing communists and Marxists out of our government and Universities. He is, in essence, the quintessential Manchurian Candidate. Scripted and schooled by the left, ready to strangle our nation and her people as soon as someone turns over the Queen of Hearts.

Copenhagen, Climate and the EPA

The global warming argument is falling apart at the seams since the disclosure of evidence that scientific groups assembling the so-called proof of global warming were manipulating data to create a false validation of their theories. The evidence also shows that they were actively engaged in discrediting scientists that even questioned the theory of global warming and sought to exclude them and their work from any discussion on the subject.

Andy Revkin of the New York Times is finding out what happens to people that haven’t drunk their weekly dose of “Klimate Kool-Aid”. Andy wrote a blog piece on the climate conference in Copenhagen that is trying to recover momentum in the wake of the University of East Anglia’s “climate-gate” scandal. He included what he thought was an amusing story about Copenhagen Prostitutes. Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming climate conference.

That did not sit well with the ladies of the evening and they are fighting back. Although I imagine that heavy breathing could be construed by global warming fanatics as creating an increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the delegates, prostitution is still a legitimate and otherwise, environmentally friendly business in Copenhagen. In retaliation, the ladies announced that they would offer free “services” to anyone that brought in one of the Mayor’s postcards.

Michael Schlesinger, a climatologist at the University of Illinois wrote a scathing note to Mr. Rivken that contained more that just his disgust about some silly story about Copenhagen prostitutes. Apparently Mr. Schlesinger didn’t get the memo about the damage that is caused when scientists try to squash dissenting opinions on global warming. It reeks of a cover-up and worse, it gives the appearance that global warming proponents are on some kind of religious fundamentalist quest to limit even the discussion of global warming to only the faithful.

Michael Schlesinger wrote:

“Andy:Copenhagen prostitutes?Climate prostitutes?Shame on you for this gutter reportage. This is the second time this week I have written you thereon, the first about giving space in your blog to the Pielkes.The vibe that I am getting from here, there and everywhere is that your reportage is very worrisome to most climate scientists. Of course, your blog is your blog. But, I sense that you are about to experience the 'Big Cutoff' from those of us who believe we can no longer trust you, me included. Copenhagen prostitutes?
Unbelievable and unacceptable. What are you doing and why? Michael”

Hmmm? The most worrisome part of that to me is: “The vibe that I am getting from here, there and everywhere is that your reportage is very worrisome to most climate scientists. Of course, your blog is your blog. But, I sense that you are about to experience the 'Big Cutoff' from those of us who believe we can no longer trust you, me included.”

If you are not in lock step with the “Church of Climatology” they apparently excommunicate you. So is that how they maintain such tight control of the media when stories like the CRU of the University of East Anglia is concerned? The main stream media ignored that for as long as humanly possible but the word still managed to get out. We now know they already hand select data that fits their needs and dispose of the troublesome facts that don’t but if they are really attempting to control what is written and what is spoken, then all of their research is suspect.

Did you notice the remark about giving blog space to “the Pielkes”? Roger Pielke is a professor of environmental studies at the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder but Mr. Pielke is also a skeptic of global warming. Andy Rivken obviously violated the “Big Cutoff” of Roger Pielke by giving him mention in his blog and that is why Rivken can no longer be trusted by the clergy of the Church of Climatology. Maybe in Gore’s next film we’ll be able to watch Tom Cruise grill Salinger and we’ll finally find out who ordered the “Code Red”!

Of course the Obama administration is leaving nothing to chance. When Obama took office, global warming was being called a confirmed science and he had the threat of global disaster on his side to enable him enact insanely powerful climate legislation; legislation that would give the government control over every business, enterprise and activity in this nation.

If you recall some of my earlier articles, I reported the blatant admission of socialists that the environmental movement would help them achieve their goals faster than any other strategy they could employ. People began to question my logic when climate-gate surfaced. After all, if this were actually some deeply rooted Marxist plot, then they wouldn’t let that slip away from them. Well, they probably wouldn’t if they didn’t have a “plan B”.

On December 7, 2009, the Administrator of the EPA, signed two distinct findings regarding greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act:

1- Endangerment Finding: The Administrator finds that the current and projected concentrations of the six key well-mixed greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.

2- Cause or Contribute Finding: The Administrator finds that the combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution which threatens public health and welfare.

Isn’t it funny that the President announced that he was reneging on his agreement to place defensive missiles in Poland on the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union? Now his EPA chief announces on the 68th anniversary of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor that the Obama administration is going to do an end run around Congress and the Constitution to enact the most damaging parts of the “cap and tax” legislation through loopholes in the Environmental Protection act that would allow this agency to act without congressional approval if a “danger to the public” exists.

Carol Browner, Obama’s Climate Czar, threatened to use the EPA and the Supreme Court to obtain authority to ram these massive regulatory actions down our throats if the Climate Bill failed. They probably would have waited for the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor before announcing their sneak attack on America but things aren’t looking so good for them in the 2010 election and they probably feared that a Congress that was no longer full of Democrat stooges might use the power of legislation to append the EPA to close the loophole before they could do their supreme damage to our economy and our way of life.

It is clear that we are running out of time with the pace these people are taking. I just hope that 2010 isn’t too late to put the brakes on. Like Nazi Germany, I fear this is a scorched earth administration and if they can’t control it, they will burn it to the ground so no one else can out of nothing but sheer spite.
