POPSBarack Obama's Rule by EPA Decree Is a coup d'etat Against Congress, Made In Britain - ClimateGate In the first place, regulation can be challenged in a way that laws cannot. So the EPA’s proposed ruling on so-called “Greenhouse Gases” can be opposed extensively with litigation, to the point that the ruling might not yet be in force when Obama demits office. In the second place, the EPA is funded by Congress. So, if the Agency is being used to bypass or neuter Congress, why should legislators not play hardball and retaliate by cutting off its funding? The EPA may look formidable, but its situation is rather as if Rommel were buying the fuel for his tanks from the Allies. But what is of compelling interest on this side of the pond is the way in which the bullets to shoot down American democracy were made in Britain. The trail is not hard to follow.

POPSOnly "Reckless Fools" Would Reject The Science Behind Global Warming "I will ask my fellow US citizens who share my sense of urgency to join me in asking President Obama and the leadership of the US Senate to set a deadline of April 22, 2010 -- the 40th anniversary of Earth Day -- for final action on the US legislation," Gore said. Gore said that only "reckless fools" reject the science behind global warming. What's the matter Al baby, scared the votes will be gone after the 2010 elections.

POPSDo not suck up the forests into your tailpipe! Bio-fuel sounds cool right? But what it means in developing world is cutting down forests and displace indigenous peoples to plant gazillions of acres of GM soya and palm oil. Climate gets worse, potential for unleashing untold unforeseen disasters is increased.

POPSEPA chief: The hacked e-mails change nothing U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, and other congressional Republicans had asked that Jackson abandon her finding in light of e-mails from climate researchers that questioned the scientific foundation of global-warming theories. The e-mails were found by a computer hacker who got them from a server at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. "Today's EPA action mimics the e-mails in one respect – it demonstrates that public relations priorities rather than straightforward science are driving U.S. policymaking on global warming," Barton said. OBama and the crazy left care nothing about the truth, only in cramming their green agenda down our throats and damn any evidence they are wrong!

POPSAnother GIVE-AWAY?
Referring to the British e-mails, he said, "We finally have proof of what we have always suspected - that these guys have been fudging the data. My hope also is that there will be an independent science panel who will go over their data and methods and come up with a report that will set the matter straight." Whatever one's views on the science of climate change, the so-called Climategate scandal could not have come at a worse time for those who hope to see the world's major industrial countries take strong action at the Copenhagen climate summit, which opens Monday with more than 10,000 participants. Contained among thousands of e-mails released last month from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit are a number of remarks that suggest the scientists there distorted some data to conform to their expectations. The center's chief has stepped down pending an investigation of the e-mails. Prominent climate scientists insist that the e-mails do not change what they

POPSExposed: How Businesses Are Undermining Efforts on U.S. Climate Committments
Opponents say the approach is tantamount to a fuel tax that would burden families, cost jobs, and weaken an already sagging economy. Three government analyses, including one by the Congressional Budget Office, projected that because of its generous flexibilities for business the legislation under consideration would cost households $80 to $175 per year. But opponents continued to wave their own estimates that the legislation would add thousands of dollars a year to home electricity, gas, and oil bills. And although none of the opposition TV ads or public statements challenge the idea that fossil fuel emissions are causing dangerous climate change that the world must address, there have been other efforts to sow doubt. The boldest of these was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's request that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hold a "trial" on global warming science -- a move its spokesman told the Los Angeles Times could be "the Scopes monkey trial of the 21st century."

POPSProtect against toxic chemicals
I am shocked and deeply disturbed that the law that is supposed to protect Americans from exposure to toxic chemicals is so outdated that China is allowed to export toxic materials into the United States that are not only banned in Japan and Europe, but can't even be used domestically in China. Every American alive today, including newborn babies, has hundreds of chemicals flowing through their blood. Many of these chemicals are linked to prostate and breast cancers, diabetes, heart disease, lowered sperm counts, early puberty and other diseases and disorders. Yet, of the 82,000 chemicals available for use in the U.S., only about 200 have been required to be tested for safety. And the EPA has succeeded in banning only one group of chemicals, PCBs, from the marketplace. It's time to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). I urge you to support legislation that will: view more 1. Take immediate action to stop the use of the most dangerous toxic chemicals; 2. Give

POPSRepublicans Call for Action to Address Man-Made Drought
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House Natural Resources Committee held a full committee hearing today on the "The California Drought: Actions by Federal and State agencies to address impacts on lands, fisheries and water users. Republicans have offered numerous solutions to provide necessary relief to families, farmers and businesses in California's San Joaquin Valley who are struggling to survive in the midst of a man-made drought. Solutions include passing legislation (specifically H.R. 996 and H.R. 856) to suspend the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act during times of drought emergency to ensure that the Delta pumps operate at historic capacity, encouraging the Administration to take steps to allow for water transfers and temporary barriers to keep smelt away from the pumps, and offering new water storage as a longer-term proposal to help the State in alternating times of drought and floods. Congressman Devin Nunes (CA-21) warned, "This Congress . . .

POPSOil Companies Undermining Climate Partnership Some of the oil companies that joined the partnership are taking part in an oil industry campaign against the climate change bill in Congress. The campaign features public rallies against the bill in places such as Houston and Greensboro, N.C., coordinated by the industry's main lobbying group, the American Petroleum Institute. The rallies are designed to look like grassroots affairs. But an e-mail from the institute to oil company executives outlining the campaign and asking them to participate was leaked to Greenpeace, which released it to the public. ConocoPhillips, a member of the climate change partnership, posted a note on its Web site encouraging people to go. BP, another partnership member, told employees about the rallies but did not encourage them to attend, according to a company spokesman. As a result, observers wonder whether the partnership could lose some of its effectiveness, just as the debate over global warming legislation moves to a critical stage. "It's

POPSHow Barack Obama Played the Race Card and Blamed Hillary Clinton February 27, 2008 The Obama mass mailings also attempt to appeal to Ohio's labor vote by claiming that Clinton believed that the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, was a "'boon' to our economy." More falsehood: In fact, Clinton had not said that; Newsday originally applied the word "boon" and has now noted the Obama campaign's distortion. In this campaign, Clinton has called for a moratorium on all trade agreements until they are made consistent with labor and environmental standards-- Ignoring all that, the Obama flyer features an alarming photograph of closed plant gates, having no connection to any action of Senator Clinton's, as well as the dubious quotation about her from Newsday in 2006. Newsday has criticized "Obama's use of the quotation" as "misleading ... an example of the kind of slim reeds campaigns use to try and win an office." As insidious as these tactics are, though, the Obama campaign's most effective . . . . .

POPST-Mobile to gouge customers $1.50 per month for paper bills Sign of things to come for other carriers? Aside from the reality that not every cell phone user owns a computer, when you contract with a service provider their billing has already taken into account the cost of all aspects of billing. This would in effect amount to a double billing. They are eager to pass off any expenses to them onto their customers, so, if T-Mobile realizes a savings in not printing bills, they should pass that savings off to their customers as well.
