MC MCCAIN WACKY AS EVER
So Manchurian Candidate (MC) McCain appears to be chumming up with Hillary Clinton at some glacier up in Alaska, discussing his latest Global Warming legislation. It would appear that he's shocked that a glacier might melt and recede in the face of summer temps, even in Alaska. This once again proves that no one in Washington DC is in the slightest touch with reality.
I shouldn't have to mention the whole "Media Dream Team" that is John McCain and Hillary Clinton, two great socialists who go great together, is the last duo I would ever trust to have a legitimate opinion on global warming. When I was getting my Bachelor's in Geology, not that terribly long ago, the politicos of the left along with the vast environmental left were predicting a new Ice Age. Junk science begets junk legislation, period. I don't know how I could make it any clearer. The world has been hotter, and most definitely has been colder, and humanity has survived and thrived.
Trying to pretend, as McCain and Clinton are, that saddling a three quarter of a trillion dollar lodestone around the US's neck is going to save the world, which even they admit it won't, while ignoring the developing industrial economies in Asia, will accomplish exactly squat.
Can we please get our tax dollars away from them now? I refuse to believe Arizonans, the people who elected the legendary Barry Goldwater, are gullible enough to think this schmoe represents an iota of their interest. And even New Yorkers, as self-important and insular as they are (sorry about the cheap shot, I'm on a roll), have to at least see those numbers and wonder what pot they were smoking when they pulled the lever for old Hillary. Senators proposing this sort of legislation, legislation I might add nowhere authorized for Congress to pass by any of their delegated powers, need to be recalled. They do not represent the interests of the American people. Given the focus of the legislation, they seem to be representing the best interests of China and India.

Rob- I remember the same thing about "the coming Ice Age". I was a kid in the mid-1970s, and the winters in that era were unusually harsh. Up in Cleveland where I grew up, the snow hit in mid-November, and covered the ground until Easter. No kidding. Never saw grass for half the year. Being a kid, I just thought that was how winters in Cle were. People who had seen other winters started doing their Chicken Little routine about a coming Ice Age.
Problem is, planetary weather trends are best judged over millenia rather than over the lengthy span of 3 years.
That just doesn't suit those with control & command tendencies, such as Sens. Clinton & McCain.
What's the Mencken quote? To the effect: the job of most politicians is to keep the populace alarmed with any number of hobgoblins, none of them real.
Yes, I remember those winters. I remember having to tunnel out from our house to the car once the snow got so deep. In some ways (not having to drive through or shovel it ways), I miss that kind of snow. Then again, I like the milder winters, and so does my wallet everytime the gas bill arrives.
I'm about done with junk science being used to justify ridiculous legislation and even more ridiculous lawsuits. No one seems to get just how much this costs society, except maybe those trying to fleece society. Anytime new pork like this shows up, I usually ask "Who really benefits" and everytime find the motivations aren't quite as altruistic as the proposers of the legislation let on. Shock of a lifetime I'm here to tell you.
