  • Top House Republican: Idea that CO2 is harmful is ‘comical’

    In a boisterous exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, the top House Republican said that declaring carbon dioxide a pollutant was “almost comical” and repeated denials that humans are responsible for global warming.

    “George, the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical,” House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) quipped. “Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you’ve got more carbon dioxide.

    “So you don’t believe that greenhouse gases are a problem in creating climate change?” Stephanopoulos interjected.

    “We’ve had climate change over the last 100 years — listen, it’s clear we’ve had change in our climate,” Boehner replied. “The question is how much does man have to do with it, and what is the proper way to deal with this? We can’t do it alone as one nation. If we got India, China and other industrialized countries not working with us, all we’re going to do is ship millions of American jobs overseas.”

    The ABC host seemed a bit flummoxed, and struggled to nail down Boehner’s position on emissions.

    “It sounds like from what you’re saying that you don’t believe that Republicans need to come up with a plan to control carbon emissions?” Stephanopoulos remarked. “You’re suggesting it’s not that big of a problem, even though the scientific consensus is that it has contributed to the climate change. ”

    Boehner pivoted: “I think it is — I think it is an issue. The question is, what is the proper answer and the responsible answer?”

    The following video is from ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, April 19 2009:

      People are getting tired of these revenue seeking scams the cops keep coming up with.And the way they run the court system when you want to fight the charges.
      I got a ticket for running a red light one day.The intersection was under construction.The intersection is 270 feet long.The yellow light was 3.75 seconds long.I took a camera and recorded these facts.The cop claims the light turned red half way through on me(true).He claimed I was 300 feet from intersection when it turned yellow.He claimed I was doing the speed limit(true).I showed that in 3.75 seconds i would not have made the intersection b4 it turned red.I proved my case but they (the judge)found me guilty.If I wanted a jury it would cost me 500 or more dollars.Its a fixed game and people are sick of it.I accused them of knowing this light was a problem and too short.The cop admitted he was assigned to this spot to watch the intersection for people running a red light.I reminded them it is unconstitutional to set up traps for revenue.And that they are lucky someone wasn’t killed all for their revenue.They knew this light was dangerously too short and they didn’t do a thing about it and i told them so.Afterward this barney fife looking clown tells me.Get out of our village.:)lol
      Good thing I took my son with me as a witness because these nazi fvcks would have thrown me in jail for telling them like it is.When the thiefs make and enforce the laws there will be only one kind of justice.Their own!!

      Ed Reply:

      Cuda,

      It’s a rule of Law. That if your in the middle of the intersection and the light turns red, you are supposed to continue through. Yellow doesn’t mean stop, Yellow only means “caution” Red means stop and do not enter. From what you said and your evidence I would seek some other type of action. I’m sure there is something that can be done.

      Side note I have a police matter myself that is a one of disbelief. I sent it to this website, but that was almost two weeks ago. I’ll post a reply again and see if I can get it in here.

      I remember the cold war and what we had to deal with everyday. The 1980’s were all about nuclear war from Russia. We practiced in school on what to do and where to go when the siren went off. We were scared to death. We didn’t have the internet and we had no where to hide except at home with our parents. The wall fell and there was a gap a huge gap. Now it is filled with Terror and 911!. How perfect for the rulers of the elite. Wake up Americans. Are we really worse off than we were during the 80’s when the threat held the bomb? We need to wake up our representatives (County, State and Federal) and start turning the tide to a more free country. Once we lose our liberty we lose everything. CO2 is a joke. Run h enumbers the biggest polutants in the world are the Billions of breathing humans. Don’t tell me we need to worry about our carbon footprint. that is some fantasy from the idiots who could not pass chemistry in highschool.

    2. FED UP Says:

      There is NO concensus. Most of the people on the list of scientists listed by the IPCC have little to nothing to do with climate. Wasn’t someone put on the spot and he stated something like 20 % might have had some experience in climatology? There are literally THOUSANDS of scientists disputing this thing… It’s SOLAR.. NOT HUMANS !!! This is laughable….

      Social Viability Reply:

      It is laughable.

      And you can bet that future generations will laugh at the myth of global warming just like we laugh at people that thought the world was flat.

      It’s a business venture for fools like Gore and they’re simply selling a product on a fraudulent premise.

      Do your intellect a favor. Throw away your TV! Talking heads like Stephanopoulos are merely trying to sell you snake oil for their masters’ profit and their own advancement.

      Get your little facts and put em up right here for all of us to see. You say NO consensus. Prove it. No, not like Bible proof, I mean real proof.

      You don’t have to be a climatologist to know how Co2 traps heat in he atmosphere like a greenhouse.

      THOUSANDS of scientists??? Fucking prove it

      Fact: the earth was warmer during the medieval warming period when there was no man made CO2 emissions
      Fact: all of the planets in the solar system are warming yet only one contains man made CO2
      Fact: 0.01% of atmospheric greenhouse gases are man made and not statistically significant
      Fact: an increase in sun spots increases planetary temperature
      Fact: sun spots have been more frequent in the past 3 decades
      Fact: a rise in CO2 actually follows a rise in global temperature and doesn’t precede a rise in global temperature

      The real problem with pollution is what is harming the ecosystem.Like plastics,medications and all the rest of the poisons put in our water and food.The crap the corporations dump into the environment on a daily basis.If Stephanopoulos thinks exhaling is causing global warming he should volunteer to be aborted.You have got to be a retard to think exhaling is harmful to the environment when there are so much evidence as to what the problem really is.The problem is the big money corporations that own the politicians that keep blocking the use of clean fuels and natural things that will do what the man made crap will do without the problems they cause.Its all about these greedy selfish bastards and their worship of money.Just read the labels on your food and remember when you pass this food into the environment you also pass the poisons.Same with medication.Without all that poison in the food you wouldn’t need the poison in your medication.We lived for thousands of years without it,why do you think you need this crap now?

      Global Warming Petition
      We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was
      written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The
      proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance
      of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
      There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide,
      methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause
      catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.
      Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon
      dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal
      environments of the Earth.

Please lets all begin communicating these TRUTHS together, so that they begin to saturate the public mindset even more than the bullshit that has been deliberately and effectively,(sad to say), down their throats for so long.

      GMO crops indirectly cause more CO2 emissions. There is high demand for non-GMO soybeans, so Brazil picks up on that market. A bunch of rainforest gets deforested to make room for these non-GMO crops. Had the United States used their land that has been deforested for centuries to grow non-GMO instead of GMO, then that rainforest would still be intact.

Don’t let them tell you what bulbs to use, how much water you can use, how far you can drive etc etc. Just say NO!!

    24. katar Says:

      Here is a blatant prove that CO2 reduction via designated tax is plain scam without even going into scientific debate. In European Union they try to load the tax with every single consumer, meaning the energy end user. If these croocked Bildeberg pupets were concerned about enviroment they would rather tax inefficient power plants than us, so that the plants have intiative to cut their emmission. All they talk about now is who can sell and buy CO ration. If that’s the system to be forced than the less developed countries with dirty, inefficient industry will have to purchase CO ration from well developed “states” such as Germany. If that’s the future of EU than it sucks and it will collaps rather sooner then latter and Bilderbers will go back to their caves.

    25. Will Says:

      If you produce too much CO2 and cut down all the trees that turn CO2 into oxygen, then, yes, you encounter the greenhouse effect much like that of planet Venus and it warms the planet because you cannot get rid of CO2 faster than it’s created. Is it as bad as these politicians will have you believe? No.

    38. Solutions Says:

      Oil and CONTROL over it, along wioth other forms of energy, is the NWO’s plans for their global economic monopoly.

      The new CO2 laws being proposed, represents the foundation of the new currency that the NWO needs in order to succeed. It essentially represents a way to “meter” everything that people do and defines how everyone will pay as they go through life. It’s like passing legislation to install a parking meter onto everyone’s ass cheeks, where everything will have an equivalent CO2 value for the sake of metering everything on the planet for a fee.

      Like looking at a photograph will have an assigned price, depending on how much CO2 it took to make the plastic camera parts & film, the cost of film development and how long you looked at it, which means you were not working to pay taxes, so there will be a “sitting down tax.” When you sit on the chair, it was made from vinyl and opps, another CO2 penalty, caught on film so you can’t lie about where you’ve been and what you were, like eating too much and farting which will also be taxable.

      The excuses we will be told to jusify this new money metering infastructure will include everything from ancient Chinese astrology to the invasion of aliens from space. The NWO wants this new currency infastructure, which essentially represents their Money Genie with unlimited wishes for more money.

      The real goal is to create a new currency, based upon taxes from CO2 usage at all levels, from farting, to blinking, to eating, etc.. It’s a way to assign a taxable value to everything, even walking, which also results in the production of CO2. It becomes a “living tax” where the longer you live the more CO2 you make and the more money you owe to the Fed, simply for living and becoming old. If you lived to be 90, you’d automatically owe more money to the Fed, simply for living that long and processing that much food and water through your body, which will have a calculable CO2 metabolic rate and therefore a taxable footprint.

      This is really evil minded and I personally do not know if the phrase “cheap jew” has any significant truth to it, but if it does, only a jew could come up with something like this and get away with it.

Data measured over the last 100years is not even scientific. we just recently began tracking temperature on a global scale thanks to computers but taking those few years and comparing it to the billions of years this planet was in existence is non conclusive. what about sun spots, space junk reflecting the suns rays, orbit variation, geo-environmental experiments, nuclear testing, testing of HAARP, Chemtrails, seeding our oceans with Iron and god knows what else, laser testing ( Star Wars ) defense shield testing. this is all bull designed to separate you from your money and make you feel bad so you will go sterilize your self.

      I am not going to give an opinion here about whether I accept global warming or not.

Of course CO2 is not a carcinogen, who claimed it was? If it were we would all poison ourselves every time we respirated oxygen. What is claimed is it contributes to planetary warming.

Putting a barrier of cloud banks between the earth and sun by aerosal spraying with special fuel. It is trapping the rays of the sun which is increasing the temperature of the planet. World leaders are causing this problem. They expect you to pay for it with their carbon taxes.

      The number of foreignors coming here who hate America is staggering, they are not christians yet they all believe meals provided by the churchs are a gimme. Most did not pay anything to come here. That would be the bankers again. Flooding the country with ignorant masses, Wow who would have thought the dumb would be the only ones left standing.
