There is little left open to debate when it comes to climate change. That emissions from automobiles, factories and homes has forever altered weather patterns, shrunk icebergs and raised sea levels is now established fact. Only the truly far-right wing fringe dares to suggest that global climate change is a fantasy. The only question is: what do we do about it and how fast can we do it.
To address this issue, the United States Senate convened a meeting of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to address this urgent matter. And that's when things got ugly. From CNN:
"Republicans boycotted a Senate committee hearing Tuesday on a major bill to
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change."
Charming. As with the health care debate, the stimulus package and virtually every other important piece of legislation that this Congress and this President want to address, the Republicans are digging in their heels and cementing themselves as the "Party of No."
I don't just mean that they are not contributing to the debate and trying to stifle discussion of these matters. Its worse than that. They are the party of no ideas, no solutions, no flexibility, no fairness, no obligation to their constituents and no soul.
Chairman Barbara Boxer continued the meeting, despite the absence of the minority party members and good for her. We cannot continue to let these morons try to run the show.
They're the minority party. Let's treat them that way.

Hate to tell you Kev, but the data that supported man-made global warning has been proven to be false. It's all bullshit. There is no proof. Sorry. That doesn't mean global warming isn't caused by man, but the so-called facts were lies. Al Gore needs to return that Oscar
Guess you have your head in the sand, huh?
You see the crap I have to put up with? "Anonymous" posts this little hit-and-run and thinks he's proved his point, meanwhile all of the climatologists in the world, with the exception of a few wacky outliers, agree that man-made greenhouse gases contribute ENORMOUSLY to climate change.
But try telling dimwits like Anonymous that. Go ahead and try.
Anonymous the 'dimwit' says:'
Right, they believe this based on 'falsified evidence.'
Does that make sense, Kev? You can believe the moon is made of cheese, but if the data they are using is false, then there is no proof. Get it? Kinda like the 'facts' about Saddam were based on 'lies.' You can believe Saddam had WMD, but the evidence was 'falsified.'
Who's the dimwit now?
You! Get on the internet and read up. I'm right and you're wrong. It is possible you can be wrong, Kev. Your wife must have to put up with a lot of bullshit.

I have known Kevin Theis for 10 years now. His political writing has always been accurate and hysterically satirical.
Pay attention to him America before it is too late.
