Buchanan over de Climate Bill in de VS en de Royal Society over klimaatmaatregelen in Groot-Brittannië

“Climate Bill Is Transfer Of Wealth To World Government: Former presidential advisor slams fear mongering that led to passage of nightmare legislation”

According to Prisonplanet: "During an appearance on MSNBC, political commentator Pat Buchanan correctly defined the “Climate Bill” for what it really is, not just a new tax on the American people, but a complete transfer of power and wealth to a global government that is using the manufactured fear of global warming to grease the skids for total domination.”

“Referring to the passage of the climate bill and global warming in general, Buchanan said that the legislation was passed through the use of fear and that, “More and more scientists are coming forward to say this is a hoax and a scam which is designed to transfer wealth and power from the private sector to the government sector and from the government of the United States to a world government. Which is what we’re going to get in Copenhagen when we get this Kyoto two agreement,” Prisonplanet reports.

Energy bills 'too low' to combat climate change

A report of the British Royal Society says current government policy is not enough to pay for green technology.

The British newspaper The Guardian reports: “Consumers will need to pay more for energy if the UK is to have any chance of developing the technologies needed to tackle climate change, according to a group of leading scientists and engineers.”

Parlement VS neemt ingrijpend klimaatplan aan

Despite heated objections by some Republicans, the unread 1,200-page Waxman-Markey climate bill was passed 219-212 in the House on Friday.

Objecting to the fact that 300 pages were added to the bill at 3 a.m., Minority leader John Boehner attempted a brief filibuster, giving time for colleagues and aides to scan the unread extra passages and present certain excerpts on the floor. Politico blasts his effort, reporting.
House Passes the 1,200-page Climate Bill that Congress was Not Allowed to Read

Landmark legislation to curb U.S. greenhouse gas emissions was approved by the House of Representatives in a close vote late Friday, securing a hard-fought victory for a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s agenda.

The 1,200 page bill—formally known as the "American Clean Energy and Security Act"—will reach into almost every corner of the U.S. economy.

By putting a price on emissions of common gases, such as carbon dioxide, the bill would affect the way electricity is generated, how homes and offices are designed, how foreign trade is conducted and how much Americans pay to drive or to heat their homes.

Terugdringen uitstoot
Het Huis van Afgevaardigden in de VS heeft een klimaatplan aangenomen dat voor het eerst een grens stelt aan de uitstoot van broeikasgassen. In 2020 moet de uitstoot van deze gassen met 17 procent zijn afgenomen vergeleken met 2005, zo meldt het dagblad Trouw.

In 2050 moet de afname zelfs 80 procent zijn. Het zou volgens tegenstanders van het plan “vooral Republikeinen hun baan zal gaan kosten”.

Klimaatverandering positief voor Oostzee

Brengt de klimaatverandering ook positieve effecten? Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de opwarming een verminderde fosforbelasting van de Oostzee meebrengt doordat deze jaarlijks met minder ijs bedekt is.

Zo bereikt zuurstofrijk water vaker de zeebodem waardoor deze ‘dichtgeseald’ wordt en fosfor niet beschikbaar komt voor algenbloei. Dit bewijst omringende landen een grote dienst.
