Interesting timing as this happens in the same week as news on greenhouse effect on the base of ocean foodchain, i.e. phytoplanton. I’m sure that there were a lot of people in denial or ignorance in the many other societies destroyed by ecological changes+over use of resources (Easter Island, the Moche…). It’s not about saving the planet- see George Carlin’s take on that. It’s not only about re-distributing wealth- the only way out is for the consumerism addiction to be broken. Good luck on that when american identity and politics is about “preserving our way of life”, don’t read “way of life”=”democracy” (a big lie!), but rather feeding the buy/possess addiction. Americans and their “democracy” can barely get a health-insurance reform bill passed. Who’d be naive enough to think they’d go for voluntary simplicity. Don’t blame Obama or even all the right wing fascists, God knows who’ve got enough of them, but yourselves!

Al Gore has been discredited and the actual effect of green house gas is overblown or unproven!

WE cannot afford your "SKY-ROCKETING ENERGY", OBAMA, why even give Al Gore the time of day.

Because it is really about Redistrubution of Wealth, Not saving the planet!

You don’t have to be a liberal to want our nation to achieve energy independence and better stewardship of our planet. Most of my views would be considered “conservative”, and I usually vote Republican. At the same time, I am eager to drive an EV, and will likely install rooftop solar at some point. One thing is clear: We need better, more sensible politicians in touch with the American people!

koodaaa

--douchy when someone is being difficult or just plan stank. "Douche bag-ish" if you will.--

Not sure why having liberal & conservative views is a bad thing but for some reason people always insist on veering into talking point ideas and making out the other party as the enemy without actually being critical of their own party, especially when they control both the House and Senate.

JamesDavis remember that there is a legislative branch of government. Obama can not simply dictate the details of what gets written & passed by the House & Senate. The amount of special interests and revolving door employment opportunities in Washington DC is shameful but that is how it works. So NO Obama can not simply pass a cap and trade bill without it being seriously watering down by stupid permit giveaways or major loopholes that will deem market controls a failure.

JamesDavis I disagree with your assertions about the current economic problems that started well beyond that days of Bush Jr., (though he was a cheerleader for big government and short-term thinking) Also, how is this administration different from Bush Jr's lax and absurd off-shore drilling regulations?

Oh by the way I usually vote for Democrats in our two-party system, but I demand more than silly talking-point ideas for my vote. Guess that is a douchy thing to do......

“Samie”, anything that comes out of the Obama administration that steers away from the Bush administration is blocked by the Republicans. Republicans want business as usual, no matter how destructive or how stupid the Bush plans are, as long as it is a continuation of the Bush plans, and the Republicans have made it perfectly clear that they will vote ‘No’ on everything that veers away from the Bush’s promotion of fossil fuels and breaks to the rich. Even though the Bush plans of “Drill Baby Drill” and “It’s A Free Enterprise – get everything you can no matter how or who you screw in the process” plunged this country into one of the worst recessions since the Depression of 1929, the Republicans want to continue down that same ol’path.

Obama should do like Bush did – Wait until Congress recesses and then push everyone of his bills through. That got so common with Bush that the Democrats would send a Senator back in Congress for 15 minutes to stop the practice. Some of the silly and right out stupid bills Bush pushed through like that was so dangerous that they collapsed our whole economy and took away our 1st Amendment Right and Ten Million jobs. Everyone of the Republicans who was in office during the Bush administration, or Reign, should be impeached and put in prison.
