There has been no global warming for the past 11 years.
Yet Obama wants to tax the US people to support his initiative.
He proposes mandatory caps on the greenhouse gases linked to global warming and a system for auctioning permits to companies that emit them.
Quoted from Alan Carlin of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Be it noted, Carlin is not a scientist.
He's an MIT-trained economist, albeit with a degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology, who has worked as an analyst at the EPA since 1974. In March, he co-wrote a 98-page paper that began, "We have become increasingly concerned that EPA and many other agencies and countries have paid too little attention to the science of global warming." He fears politics are steering what should be scientific research.
The analysis noted that global temperatures have declined over the last 11 years while carbon emissions have increased. It cited a 2009 paper that found "solar variability" may have had more to do with any warming over the last few decades than rising greenhouse gas levels. Carlin also wondered why the EPA bought into global-warming doom scenarios, when, despite increased greenhouse gas levels, U.S. crop yields are up, air quality is improved and Americans are living longer.
