Let me mention the good thing first--Last week when President Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize, he actually seemed to be speaking up for his country, a totally unexpected move coming from him. Seems in the past, he was in the habit for apologizing for everything we had ever done, or might do in the future. And when he admitted that evil exists in the world, and that Al Queida is evil, I started to think that there might be a bit of hope. But the onerous shadow of Copenhagen still looms in the short term, and Obama seems ready to sign away our sovereignty to "atone' for our carbon sins of the past. Now, in reality, I know that our Congress would never ratify any treaty that was as useless at accomplishing it's goal as this one will be. As you can see by the excerpt below, if China and India, and several South American countries do not sign on to reduce their own Greenhouse gasses, it will make no difference in the effect of said gasses on our environment. And Mr. Taylor isn't the only person saying this...it's been pretty widely discussed, and not only in Copenhagen. Those of us who know the truth-that 'Global Warming' is a natural occurrence and not really very much exacerbated by humans, also know that without the rapidly developing nations such as China and India, and Brazil among others, whatever we do will make no real difference in the overall scheme of Mother Nature. And even if ALL nations signed onto the agreement, the total Greenhouse gas would diminish by only one tenth of one percent, making so little difference as to be unnoticeable! The Sun is getting hotter, folks! If the surface of Jupiter is warming at the same rate as the Earth, what does that tell you? Last time I checked, Jupiter didn't have much traffic, or coal plants,either. Below you will find an excerpt from a speech given by James Taylor, a Senior Fellow at the Heartland Institute.



"Responding to assertions that developing nations such as China and India should be exempt from a global carbon dioxide agreement because western nations are responsible for the majority of past carbon dioxide emissions, Taylor said, 'Regardless of the source of past emissions, there will be no appreciable change in atmospheric greenhouse gases unless all nations step up to the plate and do their part. If China, India, and other leading emitters insist on being exempt from carbon dioxide restrictions, Copenhagen is merely an exercise in global redistribution of wealth rather than a serious discussion of global climate change.'

Next time, we'll discuss this travesty of a health care bill. Ciao, People. Tess
