Very true sir, but it is deeper than that even. Al Gore gets sometimes $200K to speak on global warming only now with evidence of global cooling the new term is 'Climate Change'.
Cap and Trade passed this afternoon (1300 pages that nobody in congress read, maybe the Senate will read it...uhhh maybe not). Everything a family uses that somehow involves energy will (if the bill makes it thru the Senate) cost more, food, home heating, gas....well basically everything....so it amounts to a tax on the average family of about $3000 a year.
In other words the single largest tax increase ever imposed on the American people.
But the real sick part is this is a massive transfer of wealth to the politically connected (politicians and lobbyists)
Al Gore is ready to sell carbon offset credits, so is GE who owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. GE will also get massive wind and solar energy contracts, is this a payback for extremely biased political news coverage?
Where Ethanol is a political ploy, this new carbon tax is Fascism and Treason against US citizens, political corruption at a new extreme

At least we own Fits, therefore the increase in gas prices wont affect us as much as most other people.
Greenhouse gas is actually 94% water vapor, so let's just cut to the chase and outlaw water :/
