The Tea Party's Next Target: Taking Out the EPA and Sacking Laws that Protect Our Water and Air

The Tea Party's Next Target: Taking Out the EPA and Sacking Laws that Protect Our Water and Air: "In the midst of a packed schedule snapping at President Obama's heels, Republicans have found time to try and rip the heart out of the Environmental Protection Agency.

You'd think Congress would be too busy wrecking the economy to attack the environment. Yet, in the midst of a packed schedule snapping at President Obama's heels and lunging for each other's throats, Republicans have found time to try and rip the heart out of the Environmental Protection Agency, killing 40 years of protections for water, air, endangered species, wildlife habitat and national parks..."

Rush Limbaugh Blames Air Conditioners For Belief In Climate Change

Rush Limbaugh Blames Air Conditioners For Belief In Climate Change: "On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh blamed air conditioning for the fact that people believe in climate change. Limbaugh said, “I have a theory about global warming and why people think it’s real. Go back, 30, 40 years when there was much less air conditioning in the country. When you didn’t have air conditioning and you left the house, it may have in fact gotten a little cooler out there because sometimes houses become hot boxes. Especially if you are on the second or third floor of a house in the summer time, and all you’ve got is open windows and window fan, or a servant fanning you with a piece of paper. When you walked outside no big deal still hot as hell, now 30, 40 years later all this air conditioning, and it’s a huge difference when you go outside. When you go outside now, my golly is it hot, global warming. It’s all about the baseline you’re using for comparison...”

Rush, you should really stop poppin them pills. They're fryin your brain cells.

Global Warming vs You

Global Warming vs You - Mother Jones

I'm all for more solar panels and wind power. We have such a potential for it but we have too many NIMBY's (Not In My Back Yard) out there. We have to decide what we're going to do at some point because we can't stay dependent on oil for forever. We also need green renewable energy and we need to make it cost efficient for the general public. If they can get this stuff up and running in Afghanistan surely we can manage it in America.
