Gore Sets Deadline for Climate Bill

The King Dragon of Global Warming is in Copenhagen and he gave a speech calling on President Obama to get climate legislation passed by April 22, 2010, the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day…how cute.

“As a citizen of the United States, and no more, I will ask those among my fellow citizens who share my sense of urgency to join in asking President Obama and the leadership of the United States Senate to set a deadline of April 22, 2010—the 40th anniversary of Earth Day—for final action on U.S. legislation,” Gore said.

Gore, you’re a little more than just a citizen of the United States. Any ole’ citizen can’t fly to Copenhagen, get personal security and speak in front of thousands of drooling global warming nuts while calling on the President of the United States to pass climate legislation. That’s not exactly an everyday opportunity.

Before we go ahead and pass a half-ass climate bill that imposes crippling taxes on American business let’s decide what exactly is causing climate to change. There are hundreds of reasons the climate changes. Sun activity, natural cycles, changes in the wind, ocean currents, etc. To think that we can without a doubt say that it is man made carbon dioxide emissions is ridiculous and unproven. No one has presented solid evidence to back this claim up. So why are we acting on it?

Especially in light of Climate Gate. And not to mention the overall distrust citizens have for the government. Why would we ever think they could successful halt climate change? They can’t do anything else right.

All I’m saying is the science is not settled. It might be settled on the fact that climate is changing, but it certainly isn’t settled as to why it’s changing. Let science figure it out and run it’s course, and then determine if there’s anything that can even be done to stop it.
