Dear :

 Thank you for contacting me regarding climate change. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this issue.

 According to extensive international scientific studies, including reports by the National Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, dramatic increases in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global temperatures to rise. Human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary source of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere.

 As Americans, we can no longer ignore our significant contribution to this foremost environmental threat. The United States must act responsibly to address this issue and work to preserve the global environment for future generations. It is also essential that we maintain our leadership role as the world moves toward an international market for greenhouse gas reductions.

 Climate change legislation has been the subject of Senate debate for a number of years. As you may know, Senator Lieberman and I have been working to pass legislation to address this critical issue since 2003. Most recently, in January 2007 Senator Lieberman and I introduced S. 280, the Climate Change Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007. This bill placed a limit on the amount of greenhouse gases companies could emit and established a market-based trading program. The trading system proposed under S. 280 allowed companies to buy or sell emissions units. A company that reached the required levels in certain emissions would have been able to trade emissions “credits” with a company was struggling to meet emissions requirements. Without a market-based greenhouse gas emissions program, it would be increasingly difficult for U.S. companies to operate abroad and to maintain their position as leaders in the global marketplace.

 Earlier this year, President Obama released his budget plan, which relies upon raising nearly $650 billion dollars of revenues from a climate credits auction. This large revenue producing mechanism was not the cap-and-trade system I had envisioned. The President’s proposal of auctioning one hundred percent of the carbon credits is bad economic policy that would cost businesses billions of dollars and allow for little to no transition into a low carbon system.

 More recently, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. While I still believe that climate change is a critical issue that must be addressed, some significant changes will have to be made to this legislation before I can support passage of similar in the Senate. However, please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as I work together with my fellow Senators and the Administration to negotiate a successful method of addressing this critical issue

 Thank you again for sharing your views. Please feel free to contact me regarding this or any other matter of importance to you.

 Sincerely,

 John McCain

And my response……

Senator McCain,

It disappoints me greatly to hear that you have bought into the farce that is global warming. In fact, it’s not called global warming anymore. Now it’s climate change. The climate change that happens on the planet is a naturally occurring phenomenon. More and more scientists are finally standing up to the bullying that government and even their own colleagues have been subjecting on them to come forward and show strong support and evidence that global warming/climate change is not caused nor impacted by humans. It is occurring naturally. The earth goes through cycles as a matter of course.

Even though you buy into the global warming farce, I’m also very disappointed to hear that you believe in a cap and tax system. How can you agree with this concept as it will push a regressive tax on each and every citizen of this great nation? And how can you support this when most of your constituents don’t?

Senator, you have proven to me that you are not a true conservative. From global warming to amnesty for illegal aliens, you are letting conservatives in your state, nay, the nation down. On the illegal alien issues, you only started saying secure the borders first when your constituents went after you for trying to provide amnesty first.

Unfortunately, unless you make a marked change in your stands on issues, I will not be able to support you anymore.

I don’t expect I’ll get a response to this email. It will be a pleasant surprise if I do.

Respectfully,

Please read this article. Why would fat Al Gore not want to go toe to toe and nose to nose with someone who has an opposite view from him? I’ll tell you why. Because fat Al does not have the science to back him up. The tide is turning in the scientific community. Scientists are now looking at the damage the government will do with the bogus information that was published, that they then stayed mum on as they were afraid of being lambasted by their colleagues on the left. Science and the results of scientific research are not supposed to be affected by politics. But we all know that it is because most of the money for research comes from the government.The current state of affairs on Capitol Hill as it pertains to global warming/climate change is way out of control. The only reason that certain elements within our government want to pass legislation is so they can collect money to fund things that do not have anything to do with taking care of the planet.

Please…  Pressure your Congressman and Senators to get us out of this crisis management mode that they are in on Capitol Hill and the White House.  I don’t care if Barack Obama “won”.  He doesn’t get to make ALL the rules.  We make the rules.  And if we don’t stand up and urge our representatives to stand up and gather all the people we know to stand up, we’re doomed to have our society plundered by the left.  Our prosperity, “the American Way”, will be gone forever.

Check out this link as well.  It’s a good discussion on how much CO2 a human exhales in a day/week/month.  Some of it’s pretty dry.  Scroll down to comment 29.  It’s a good one.  http://micpohling.wordpress.com/2007/03/27/math-how-much-co2-is-emitted-by-human-on-earth-annually/

On the same day that that article came out, a second article was available on the same website that claims that the Antartic ice shelf is actually expanding.  Yes, getting bigger!  Because it’s colder!  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517035,00.html 

This is the next cash cow.  Everyone jump on board if you can stomach it.  I, personally, would have a hard time making money off of a lie.  I’m just funny that way I guess.  I don’t believe in fleecing anyone.  But Al Gore doesn’t have a conscious.  He has made over $100M on scaring people into thinking that global warming exists.  He owns huge stakes in companies that sell carbon credits.  Feel bad about all the emissions from your plane trip to see family over spring break?  No problem.  Buy carbon credits from one of fat Al’s companies and they’ll plant a tree for you so you can feel like you’re “carbon neutral”.

I’m telling you.  If you can get right with it, there’s alot of money to be made here.
