Lindsey Graham Ready To Ram Cap-&-Trade Tax Through Senate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 5:11 AM
In February top global warming expert Professor Phil Jones, the former director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), admitted that global warming was a fraud. He admitted:
* Data for vital ‘hockey stick graph’ had gone missing
* There had been no global warming since 1995
* Warming periods have happened before – but NOT due to man-made changes
* There was a tendency in the IPCC reports to leave out inconvenient findings, especially in the parts most likely to be read by policy makers.
Jones also admitted that there had been no significant global warming in the last 15 years. Despite these facts, CPU fraudsters bilked the EU and US for £800,000 ($1,253,624.84) annually for the last 20 years.

Next week Lindsey Graham will push the biggest tax on the American public in the nation’s history. Graham, along with fellow progressives John Kerry and Joe Lieberman, are going to push their cap and trade bill in the US Senate. The bill will cause electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket and will bankrupt the coal industry. The state-run media is already pushing the junk science in anticipation of the upcoming debate in the senate.
Reuters reported:
An environmental coalition publicized a new U.S. draft report on climate change on Monday, one week before the expected unveiling of a compromise U.S. Senate bill that aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
The Project on Climate Science, a coalition of environmental groups, publicized the report in advance of Earth Day on April 22, a spokeswoman said. The report was released with little fanfare on April 7 and posted on the Federal Register on April 8.
The report, a draft of the Fifth U.S. Climate Action Report that will be sent to the United Nations, says bluntly: “Global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced … Global temperature has increased over the past 50 years. This observed increase is due primarily to human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases.”
Without action to stop them, climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions will rise over 8,000 megatonnes by mid-century, the draft said. By adopting measures detailed in a bill passed last year by the U.S. House of Representatives, these emissions will drop beneath 2,000 megatonnes. They’re now about 6,500 megatonnes. The United Nations measures greenhouse gas emissions in megatonnes, or million metric tons.
The effects of climate change are already evident, the draft said: warming air and oceans, vanishing mountain glaciers, thawing permafrost, signs of instability in the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica and rising sea levels.
The State Department draft, now open for public comment, precedes the expected April 26 unveiling of Senate legislation by Democrat John Kerry, Republican Lindsey Graham and Independent Joe Lieberman.
Supporters of the bill hope this will pave the way for the full Senate to debate and pass a measure in June or July.
Even the reports that we just experienced the warmest March on record was based on flawed data.

South Carolina needs to vote him into retirement.

One can only imagine the dirt the DNC has on Graham. Everyone knows you are gay, just come out with it.
bitterclinger commented:
If there’s any justice in the world, Lady Lindsey’s crap and tax boondoggle has to be tied to McCain and his re-election bid. Juan would be pushing this right along with “her” if he weren’t running for re-election. If this mess doesn’t motivate South Carolinians to vote him out next time, nothing will. I’d urge AZ voters who contribute to Hayworth to send a “cc” to both McCain and Lady L. saying the campaign contribution was made because progressivism has overtaken the conservative party.
olm commented:
As Obama gives a eulogy fir dead coal miners.

Is there a likely canidate in SC that folks could send contributions to for running against Graham. Every person that has gone through grade school in the last 40 years was taught the Scientific Method. I have judged projects this year. The global warming malarky has yet to be presented with anything resembling Scientific method. Google cold facts on global warming for a well written paper on GW
HenHouseFox58 commented:
Fox News needs to refer the lies and foul data cap and tax uses to pull the wool over our eyes. I’ve never bought into global warming, gas/air poisoning which was never backed with common sense. Science always needs common sense. Our seasons change all the time. That’s called the weather. I had always wanted to be a weather forecaster because they get paid big bucks to lie to us day in and day out. roflmao

WTF is WRONG with this schmuck graham?….gah freakin’ RINO…
GO MO RED commented:
IF ANYONE AT THE RNC IS READING THIS – I WILL NEVER GIVE ANOTHER DIME TO THE RNC IF THIS MORON DOES THIS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I EXPECT THIS FROM KERRY AND THE REST OF THE RICH MORON DEMOCRATS UP THERE, BUT NOT FROM A REPUBLICAN. IF C & T PASSES – IT HAS TO PASS WITHOUT REPUBLICAN SUPPORT SO THAT THE DEMS OWN THIS BILL LIKE HEALTHCARE – BUT LINDSEY WILL SCREW US ON THIS. WHAT HAVE THEY GOT ON THIS GUY?
Opus #6 commented:
Here’s an idea. Let’s devastate the American economy further in the middle of a recession. Let’s pass a bill to tax businesses that are barely hanging on by their fingernails, so that more people can be laid off work and overwhelm the unemployment system. I used to think that Cap and Tax was not the threat that Obamacare was, because any tax can be reversed fairly easily. Except many businesses will go under in the meantime. That is unacceptable. This is an idea. A VERY BAD and DESTRUCTIVE IDEA.
Kevin P commented:
“Lynne-sie” will damage the entire possibility of a conservative makeup in the Senate in November.
GW – what a load of rubbish!!! How many tons of carbon dioxide are being spewed out hourly by that volcano in Iceland??? What are we going to do about volcanic eruptions “Lynne-sie”?
Kevin P commented:
If “Lynne-sie” wasn’t being a RINO on this issue – it would never pass the senate. The Republicans could filibuster it and actually stop it!
bill-tb commented:
Gramnesty is one of the politburo who values his face time on TV, spouting inane lies. more than he does his country.
It’s the exact type person you should never vote for, one of zero character.
Scott Wiggins commented:
#3 Great point!…Lindsey is McCain’s front-man. Another great reason to stop John McCain before he can do more damage to America with his “friends” across the aisle…We will take care of Lindsey in SC but we have to wait till 2014…Stop McCain now! He was and has been the manchurian candidate…
Andreas K. commented:
0.038% CO2 in the atmosphere.
Taking the whole atmosphere Germany, for example, produces 0.000047% CO2.
Alone the term “heat-trapping gases” shows that these enviro-nitwits know absolutely nothing about physics.
BTW, mankind produces 1% of the CO2 produced by insects. And that is only if we assume that all insects have the size of a drosophila.
The atmosphere has a weight of 10^15 tons. CO2 is 10^12 tons. Mankind produces 10^9 tons CO2. But we are bad. Yeah, makes total sense.
Even if we’d produce 16k megatonnes nothing would change.
Bill Mitchell commented:
I just watched a show on the History Channel about global warming.
They showed models of what Florida would look like if sea levels rose 4 feet. Then they showed what it would look like if they rose 20 feet. Then they said manmade global warming WILL cause this (no proof whatsoever).
Then, as support for their claims, they said that sea levels were 20 feet higher 150,000 years ago. Lol, lots of SUV’s then. They disprove their own argument trying to prove their argument.
olm commented:
HEY! Let’s tax the volcano. Or Iceland, there’s got to be a manmade cause we can tax.
Whatdyasay Lindsay? Make sure the volcano is in your crap bill.
listingstarboard commented:
Always Lieberman gets a pass–he is the biggest traitor of them all, a Jew that stands with Obama. The hat trick of hypocritical egotistical immoral liars-McCain,Graham and LIEberman.
Joe commented:
This is a real example of why Republicans and
Conservatives are becoming unwilling to give their hard-earned money to anyone but the candidates themselves! Why doesn’t anyone in the RNC have sense enough to recognize this? This guy needs to go!
Babsy commented:
Senator Inhofe says this is dead on arrival in the Senate. Goober is just vying for TV time.
Britny commented:
Lindy is not a Republican and certainly not a Conservative.
He needs to find another line of work. Perhaps interior design or hairdressing.
olm commented:
I hear Al Gore needs a partner……….he and Graham strike me as being compatible and there would be no issue of who wears the pants.
jomojava commented:
A quick look at The Project on Climate Science:
The Projected was founded to provide a dedicated outlet guided by a non-partisan, non-ideological perspective to present climate science in an accessible, balanced and accurate manner.
So, we are to believe that the Natural Resources Defense Council, the World Wildlife Fund and the United Nations Foundations are “non-partisan, non-ideological”?
Yeah, right…….
Ladue Pundit commented:
Jim, Thank You for compiling sources and keeping on top of this.
Last week I sat in the principal’s office because my child refused to do a man-made global warming project.
After running down the facts for 30 minutes, I felt like David Jansen accusing a one-armed man of murdering my wife! Not one staff member had ever heard any of these revelations, because all major US news outlets have ignored them, covered them up, or reported the opposite.
Good News: my kid is now free to counter this nonsense with facts, and I have > 50 bookmarks from this site. Other class members are being swayed and defectors are leaving the silly side. After weeks of abuse, my kid is being vindicated.

marie commented:
We all know Lindsey’s sexual orientation, so it isn’t that the dems are blackmailing him. I’m willing to bet that he’s got investments pending in some of the green energy companies that stand to gain. Always follow the money. And if McCain wasn’t facing reelection this year, he’d be chiming in too in support of this legislation.
Peggy commented:
What a creep.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Don’t know if all of you read this but you may know that recently a Review Board chosen by the British Parliament declared than “nothing untoward” was done by the climate scientists in the Climategate Scandal.
Before you act surprised at that crazy bit of news, realize that the man the chose to head up this blue-ribbon panel actually has large holdings in businesses poised to profit greatly from global warming legislation being passed.
These libs are scum and know no limits to their deceptions.

If Lady Graham’s bill passes can it be cleaned up with a right-wing revolution?

it’s not about partasainship it’s about money.
We’re talking trillions siphoned off of taxpayers via a stroke of a pen. (legalized theft is all this is).
Wake up and smell the coffee.

when it comes to our representatives,
fore-warned is evidently not fore-armed..
imho this country has been waving a huge red flag via the ever
rising cost to elect a decent representative for quite some time now..
in case no one has noticed, all the time, energy, and money spent on
the electing of governmental officials has turned into the costliest
of all COMMUNITY ORGANIZED CORPORATIONS on the planet..
our all too powerful & corrupted Government is what has been, and still is, sucking the Liberty out of America’s oxygen.. not the Military, not the Wars, not even Global Warming.. oh no no no, it’s our cradle to grave aka: career politicians.. who for the most part, have sold their souls to the devil in the name of diversity, bipartisanship, or whatever they want to call their crapping on US these days..

In the last year the cost to feed my family has risen by a third, now this regime wants to more than double my fuel cost to go to work, and heat my home. Cannot imagine how people out of work or not employed by the Government, budgets can take such a crippling hit. Of course this will drive up the cost of every thing else, I guess Obama and his little speech on how America and Americans would not be the same position as in the past was his declaration on destroying the United States.
ProLifer commented:
Thousands of years ago, the Jews were slaves in Egypt. When the Israelites became so numerous, Pharaoh feared that one day they would turn against him. Gradually, and stealthily, he forced them to become his slaves.
But Pharaoh was still worried that his Israelite slaves would rise up against him. So he ordered all first-born male babies to be killed…
If we allow “Cap & Tax” to become the law of the land — a law based on the Big Lie of man-made climate change, a proven hoax — we will have become like the slaves in Egypt.

I wonder how many thousand pages this bill is,
and if anyone knows what’s in it.

other than who’s throwing mud at whom.. we know very little to absolutely nothing about what’s in any of the bills Congress has passed, not to mention what’s in many of the executive orders Obama has signed.. heck we don’t even know what went on behind closed doors at his Inaugural swearing in..

Many years ago a favorite joke was if Government could find away to tax the air you breath they would. It would seem the joke has become a reality.

Only commenting on the ridiculous idea that any of these groups are objective.
The attack is two fold – the cabal of cockroaches will certainly profit from the legislation. But it is not only about the money – it’s also about destroying our economic system.
Floradora commented:
I live in SC. We are stuck with this ultra-RINO idiot until 2014, sadly. The R’s better stick together on this horrendous tax. Oh, how I wish we could recall this bonafide jerk. There is nary a conservative thing about him. I pray he’s gone in ’14…but that’s an awfully long time to have to live with him.
exceller commented:
Now is the time for conservative Republicans to go on the offensive, grow some balls and tell Lyndsey no f’kn way do we support Cap and Trade. If they remain silent then they are as complicit as Graham.
Rock commented:
After reading elsewhere about the amount of money, companies that George Soros has dealings with spent on the Obama campaign, one might conclude that Obama is nothing but a gopher for a rich Communist sympathizer. Sad truth is the Democratic Party sold us out.
Trish commented:
Say good night Lindsey.
I only wish we could rescind lawmakers benefits when they get kicked out.
If they retire, fine they can keep the “stuff”. But if they lose the election, then they’ve been essentially fired and ought not take home a big prize package for the rest of their lives.

McCain and Graham are the architects of destruction for the Republican party…We can’t move forward as long as these two manchurian candidates are back-stabbing core ideals of the party…We need Joe “you lie” Wilson to unseat Lindsey in SC but we have to wait unti 2014…Godspeed to the folks in Az who need to rid themselves of a liar in a Warhero’s uniform…McCain has always been the brat son of an Admiral…He has always been a fighter but usually on the wrong side. He has serious Daddy issues that he never got over…Please Az lose this guy!

Didn’t Graham tell Obama that this bill is dead if they pass Obamacare via reconciliation some weeks ago?
What happened?
Jim commented:
Let them pass all this bs.
I want this country to hurt and hurt bad.
I want every red blooded american to feel what its like to have to open there wallets and let the government have what they want.
I want people to struggle to find employment.
I want it to be so that they can no longer afford to put fuel in there cars.
I want it to be so that we have to sit in the dark and hear our teeth chatter on a cold night because you cant afford to turn your lights on or fire up the furnace.
I want these things to come to pass as soon as possible.
Only when these morons have the life sucked out of them, there freedoms taken away, and nothing to loose will they ban together and take this country BACK !
