Republicans: Tie global warming laws to unemployment rate.
Republican politicians and conservative activists are launching a ballot campaign to suspend California's landmark global-warming law, in what they hope will serve as a showcase for a national backlash against climate regulations.

Supporters say they have "solid commitments" of nearly $600,000 to pay signature gatherers for a November initiative aimed at delaying curbs on the greenhouse gas emissions of power plants and factories until the state's unemployment rate drops.

GOP gubernatorial candidates and Tea Party organizers paint the 2006 law, considered a model for other state and federal efforts, as a job-killing interference in the economy. Talk radio is flailing at what John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, drive-time hosts on Los Angeles' KFI-AM (640), call "the global-warming final solution act" promoted by "fascist, Nazi" officials.

"We are on fire," said Assemblyman Dan Logue (R-Marysville), a sponsor of the proposed initiative. "People are calling from all over the country. This will be the most intense campaign the state has seen in 50 years."

1. The IGNORANCE IS ASTOUNDING...at a DANGEROUS LEVEL
And these people have degrees in Science? As in Climatology? Biology? Physics?

Even a basic understanding is muted/missing....

Their lack of basics reveal a weakness in their argument/policies....

and actually make our Society suseptible to setbacks...

Their MEism is obvious to those who think/look.

2. Let alone that "Tea Party organizers" are already being given a prominent voice in the press

3. six hundred thousand dollars from who?
to do the immoral "community organizing" that they're so against.

Apparently not a one of them read about the sea ice disappearing at a faster pace than ever before. Or the rise in asthsma cases.

Our kids are gonna hate us.
