[capitalismos] LAMEDUCKING CAP-AND-TRADE

 

Cap-and-Trade does not cap environmental sin but merely trades a self-serving socialist agenda for economic misery. Environmental health and longevity has a shrine in venitism. This shrine, free from the yoke of excessive regulation, protects and rewards the good steward of conservation. It nurtures the economy, promotes venitist policies that ensure environmental immortality, and persecutes those who abuse our natural resources.

Basil Venitis asserts that anthropogenic global warming is the hottest hoax ever perpetrated on a global scale. Rather than being wary of venitism's ability to shepherd good energy and environmental policy, we should protect our flocks from promises of false profits made by antivenitist pseudoprophets. Climate scaremongers endanger the freedom and prosperity of homo sapiens.

Will a lame duck Congress pass cap-and-trade? Venitist Patrick Michaels notes that judging from recent news, it might try. But, more likely, all the sound and fury will end up signifying its usual nothing. And it leaves the preferred option, where Congress punts the problem to the EPA, very much alive.

Michaels points out that on Aug. 10, the House of Representatives blocked a resolution from Tom Price, R-Ga., that would have prohibited the House from convening a lame duck session after November's election unless there was a national emergency.

Climate Czarina Carol Browner recently suggested that such a bill could potentially be passed before the 112th Congress opens for business in January. In the new Congress, the House may very well be under Republican control. Hence the need for a lame duck climate bill.

More by Patrick J. MichaelsSen. John Kerry, D-Mass., also supports the ideal of the lame duck session, telling The Hill that if climate legislation isn't passed in September, then Democrats are going to keep pushing and maybe come back after the election and do it in a lame-duck.

Kerry and Browner are dishing out good old-fashioned Washington bunkum, pandering to the Democratic base, and hoping to eke out a few votes from the very disappointed green left, which feels that the administration and the Senate left it out in the cold when it comes to global warming.

Venitis muses that kleptocrats selling pollution permits to industry reminds us of the Catholic Church selling indulgences to sinners! Cap-and-Trade spreads the cancer of socialism and thus stifles innovation. We also know that strong economies innovate better than weak ones, but cap and trade weakens economies.
