 | Legislation to Block EPA Climate Rules Passes Subcommittee Vote |
I'm confident that this will pass the House with little problem. However, the Senate is another matter.
In June of 2010, the Senate showed its allegiance to the EPA by defeating an amendment which would have blocked the EPA's authority in regulating greenhouse gasses. The November 2010 elections did little to change the balance of power in the Senate. So, better to hold off on this one until after 2012.
However, I doubt the Republicans are smart enough to figure that out on their own and will fatuously rush headlong into a commie red, brick wall waiting for them in Senate:
Cantor promises swift House vote on legislation to block EPA climate rules
By Andrew Restuccia - 03/10/11 - The Hill
Republicans approved legislation to block Environmental Protection Agency climate rules in a key House subcommittee Thursday, the first step in a wide-ranging GOP effort to stop the agency from regulating greenhouse-gas emissions.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee's Energy and Power subcommittee approved the bill on a party-line voice vote. There were no amendments offered to the bill.
The bill, authored by full committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.), would permanently eliminate EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from stationary sources like power plants and refineries. It also overturns a finding by EPA that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Thursday that the EPA legislation will come to the House floor within weeks.
"Obviously that is a big factor in increasing energy costs here, and we expect that to be on the floor in the next couple of weeks," he told reporters in the Capitol.
The broad consensus among scientists is that climate change is occurring in large part because of human activity.
LOL! Hey, I'm a scientist and I have seen no conclusive evidence proving human activity has indeed caused an Earth-wide "climate change." The only thing that has been conclusively shown is that weather monitoring equipment will show an increase in temperature when you start placing them on asphalt surfaces---or in the exhaust of a jet engine!
But, I digress...
Broad consensus, he says? Hm, that's interesting... Whatever happened to that much ballyhooed "unanimous consensus among scientists" we heard so much of in past? Oh, that's right; It's all a big lie. That would be why it's no longer called Anthropogenic Global Warming, but "Climate Change" now-and-days. That way, the little commie quack, wannabe "scientists" can blame every little thing on human activity.
