Feinstein hates humans and believes that all aspects of their lives need to be controlled and contained. Californians return her to the senate over and over again, because they have no self-respect.
Global Warming: A Time to Act
An international consensus has been forged: Global warming is real. It is already happening. And greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, tropical deforestation, and agriculture – are the leading cause of that warming.
The earth has already warmed 1 degree Fahrenheit – and scientists predict that the warming trend will continue in the decades to come. The simple truth is that the warming cannot be stopped, but it can be slowed. We are at a tipping point: If the earth warms 1 to 2 degrees Fahrenheit, the impact will be manageable, and we can adapt. But if the earth warms 4 to 10 degrees, the effects will be catastrophic. The question becomes, what can we do? The reality is that there is no silver bullet. There is no single solution. We need many answers and people of common purpose working together.
That is why I am working on a comprehensive package of legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – the leading cause of global warming – from all sectors of the economy. Every business, home, and industry will have to do its part.
Global Warming: A Time to Act – – United States Senator Dianne Feinstein
That braindead lunatic is still getting elected ? I’ll get right on my cutting emesions , as soon as she does . 🙂
Ok ok , emissions
The people of California just voted to RAISE their taxes. Is it any wonder that the California education system is the worst? Of course they are going to re-elect a fellow moron.
“First: a bill to establish a cap-and-trade program to reduce emissions from the electric utility sector by 25 percent of anticipated levels by 2020. It is the most aggressive bill supported by industry to date. (S.317)
The second bill will be a mandatory cap-and-trade program for industrial and corporate polluters, modeled after the electricity sector program. (in progress)”
Cap and trade is a proven failure at reducing CO2e and even James Hansen has called it “half-assed”, so right out of the gates in her first two bills she indicates that she is dishonest, stupid or both.
Yes, yes and yes
Don’t you know that, if the programs worked, there would be no need for a more intrusive and more costly new, improved, and expanded program? Government only advances when it fails to do what it says it will do. The failure is designed in from the get go to give an excuse for higher taxes, more deficit spending, larger government, more agencies, more laws, more rules, more regulations, and less individual freedom. Rinse and repeat until civilization collapses from the weight of it all and there is no more tomorrow. As things are, we may still have a tomorrow but I am not so sure about the day after that.
Unfortunately, “Republican” is simply another way to spell “Democrat”. The difference between them is but a few backroom deals away. What we really need is an honest to god second party that holds to the principle that our lives, our liberty, and our freedom to pursue our own happiness are our INDIVIDUAL and sacrosanct property. That they are not to be messed with by government BECAUSE they are our property prior to and superior to Government. That they are the reason that we have the right to grant agency of self defense to the Government to protect that property. That as an agent, the Government cannot properly go outside those authorized bounds. Finally, that if the Government goes outside those narrow bounds, we have the absolute right to TERMINATE the Government and establish a new one better suited to OUR ends.

Do these new laws apply to China and India?
I’m surprised she didn’t say…”Every business, home, and industry will have to do its fair share.”
Starting to see a pattern…..First she takes our guns, then she robs us.
Or worse
This AGW thing is a boon to leftard control freaks everywhere.
How about the good Senator take the lead on reducing CO2 emissions by stopping her exhalations of the vile substance? She could be a real trend-setter and, hopefully, millions of her like-minded mental midgets would follow suit.
“CO2: It’s Plant Food, Stupid”
At least she is using the right word:
“An international consensus has been [forged]:”
America is being run by insane people. The country is doomed. In 4 years everyone will be bankrupt and freezing in the dark. America committed suicide when they reelected Obama.
Actually, they committed suicide when they elected Obama.
They just re-dedicated themselves to the task with a sense of urgency a few weeks ago.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
I am just not getting it.
It is 33ºF here in NJ. Just how cold do they want it to be ?
Won’t I need more heat and consequently release more Co2 if it were colder ?
Isn’t there a greased flight of stairs that Senator Feinstein could be convinced to walk down ?
What she is proposing is technically impossible. So the best she can achieve here is to run a wrecking ball through her local economy. Although the legislation would be repelled before it was completely destroyed anyway.
The economy is sick and now they want to force another poison pill down our throats.
I never have hated so many American politicians as I do now. Obama, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid, etc. All trying to control my life using lies and phoney science as their instrument.
Our whole society is becoming unstainable, and I DON’T mean in any green sense. We’re dithering toward economic and social collapse all by ourselves, this, possibly aggravated by some natural disaster, such a a Carrington Event level solar flare (1 chance in 8 by 2020, according to a real scientist), a volcanic erption, earthquake or another Fukushima level nuclear disaster, or some combination of all of the above, and none of which are related to manmade global warming. Our money is worthless, and as a nation and as individuals we’re all in debut out the wazzoo, the government is cooking the books to try and prop things up a little longer, our population is sick and obese, our medical system is corrupt, our schools are turning out stupid, uneducated morons, our culture has become banal and worthless, and Feinstein, Obama and their ilk are the kind of “leaders” we get? Where can I buy a ticket on the next ship leaving for Alpha Centauri?
She wants to do to our country what the Californians have done to their state. I’m with Mike F; I never actually HATED politicians until the current plague of Democrats took power.
You mean you were totally cool with the Republicans looting the treasury and social security trust fund, doubling the national debt and 2 trillion dollar unfunded wars, prior to Obama?
You remind me of a political cartoon I once saw featuring Ronald Reagan at the eye doctor. Doctor says “Amazing, you see perfectly fine when you look to the left, but you’re completely blind when you look to the right.”
I wish we could give them all the boot.
Actually, I wasn’t cool with what they did, but if you deny the damage that CA has done to itself then you arent paying close enough attention.
And the ol’ “unfunded wars” strawman gets set up by Ockham, once again. As the good owner of this fact-checking juggernaut is so fond of doing, let us look at the actual data, instead of just taking a NeoMarxist’s matter-of-fact statements at face-value, shall we?

It would seem that his grasp of the facts surrounding the national debt and other economic issues is as tenuous as is his grasp of the cause(s) of completely natural climatic fluctuations.
I’m sure somewhere there will be a………………..

Before Obama took office, debt was 40% of GDP. Since that times its risen to over 100% of GDP. Was this all Obama’s fault? Of course. Did his attempts to ‘fix’ the problems that arose in the economy make everything dramatically worse? Yes.
That should have been ‘of course not’.
Although it would be hard to conceive how any president could have messed this up as much as Obama did, whether Republicans would have done dramatically better, is also doubtful.
Yep. I agree and noted.

And congratz on your World Jr’s Hockey chance for the gold against Sweden, I’m rooting for you!

Just how does anyone calculate a 1 degree temperature rise on this planet other than what they dream up in their head?
