After 20 hearings and countless speeches on the Senate floor warning of the risks of failure, a key committee starts work Wednesday on historic legislation to dramatically reduce global warming.

It's a tall order. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee's chair, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., the chamber's leading liberal, said she was up to the task.

"Global Warming-- Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
Scientists agree: The Earth is warming, and human activities are the principal cause."

Man, pretty "telling" when this subject can't even get any attention on the mighty HuffPo.

Nobody believes this "man-made" global warming nonsense.

Boring. Another go no-where bill created the do nothing democrats.

Why aren't they working to fix social security? Why aren't they working to fix Medicare? Why aren't they working to seal the southern boarder? why aren't they working on national health care? Why aren't they working on a balanced budget?

It's no wonder this nation considers the democrats to be failures in congress.

FINALLY,
US is the ONLY developed country still on the fence on the subject of global warming. But as long as the Shrub and his Merry Oilmen are in the office, this is all just election year talk.

Everyone will have to grin and bear it until 2008.

There is no such thing as 'man-made' global warming.

'man-made' global warming is the biggest crock of shit that the counter-culture has ever tried to get over on the consumer.
