2. here's the gem I just recieved from my Rep, (R-Oilwhore)
Global Warming Needs More Proof

2nd District Lawmaker declares the debate over global warming must be based on conclusive evidence

WASHINGTON, DC - Yesterday, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources held a hearing on global warming. U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee, noted that with all the materials presented during the hearing, the science is still not certain.

At yesterday's hearing, Noah Matson, Director Federal Lands Program Defenders of Wildlife stated, "Quite simply, there is no remaining scientific debate: we are causing global warming and it is past time that we do something about it."

In retort Dr. Timothy Ball, the only climatologist on the panel, stated, "Scientists who tried to question the theory were sidelined as skeptics. The scientific method was almost completely thwarted."

In response to the hearing, today Congressman Pearce made the following statement:

"The people supporting global warming have yet to resolve many key objections to their claims including the affect humans play on climate change and what can be done about them. We are making decisions that have devastating economic impact on average Americans therefore we have an obligation to check the statistical proof.

Aggressively expanding industrial countries like China and India are not adopting KYOTO Protocol because they understand it will destroy their productivity. Therefore, implementing the standards and practices suggested by Democrats will outsource jobs to China and Americans will suffer. This will drastically impact the quality of life for our seniors living on fixed income. A rise in gas and utility prices will hurt low income families much more than high income households. This equates to a regressive tax on low income Americans and should not be implemented without ensuring the science is correct.

In an issue full of hyperbole, where the status of American jobs and industry will be severely affected, and the price of utilities and gas will be driven 2-3 times higher we must not let China gain advantage over American industrial output. Over the next 10 years China will build 544 coal power plants while America as the 'Saudi Arabia of Coal' is closing our plants. We must lead the world in clean energy production but if we follow these unilaterally imposed standards America will perpetually fall behind to the likes of China and India."

5. because they understand it will destroy their productivity
Seems to me the country that developes the non-fossil fuel based economy first stands to make a ton of money and be world leaders in this technology. Last time I checked jobs were already being outsourced to China. He does realize the current gas and utility prices right now hurt low income families much more than high income households. I mean he does live in this country right? He does understand that scientist have been working hard since the late 70s to ensure the science is correct. If he knows why are is he using arguements invalidated years ago.

7. "Skeptics" shouldn't be the subject of the sentence or article AT ALL.
Why emphasize the MINORITY view?

Oh, wait......
