Kyoto-Style Bill Rushing Quietly Through Senate

Kyoto-Style Bill Rushing Quietly Through Senate - HUMAN EVENTS: “It is not for nothing that in a November interview with the Financial Times, former Vice President Al Gore cautioned Congress against taking the direct approach, such as the infamous “Btu tax” — charging consumers a premium for their energy use on top of existing tax schemes — which doomed the first Clinton-Gore budget in 1993. Gore cited the Btu vote as a major factor in the Democrats losing Congress the next year.

Hence the clever “cap-and-trade” rationing approach. Congress seems locked into the mode of quietly imposing an agenda on Americans upon which no one has run an election campaign. This is particularly true as regards the EU- and UN-style “global warming” schemes crafted to disguise their actual costs to the consumer, which are still too facially suspect to be granted open hearings and debate for risk of exposure. Public outcry seems to have blocked the LOST gambit, leaving them with the Kyoto implementation-without-ratification effort announced today.”

They think if they do not tell you the details and the long term costs of there secret carbon schemes you won’t care. They are probably right. Do the people really control the legislators anywhere in the West anymore? In the EU they just do what they want without giving a hoot about what the people want and now the globalists are doing the same thing here and they are purposely being deceptive about it.
