GOP platform now to include global warming.
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/...008-08-26.html

The National Republican Party for the first time is expected to acknowledge global warming in its 2008 GOP Platform, according to a draft of the document.
“Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the earth,” the document said. “While the scope and long term consequences of this warming effect are the subject of ongoing research, we believe the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today.”

More signs that the republicans are also stupid.

Yeah, and to think that so many Republican hard-legs want to encourage this type of behavior from their party leads me to believe that we will be getting more of the same (and worse) in the future.

Bob Barr also says that AGW is for real. If global warming is indeed a hoax, why are our political parties saying that something needs to be done about it?

Really? Do you have a link?

Because they are not scientists and have been manipulated by CGW zealots just like many citizens such as yourself.

You trust politicians? Surely you aren't from Louisiana.

Not at all. Just that it seems that everybody thinks AGW is for real except for those folks from Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. :icon_wink:

I haven't manipulated anybody. Even if there is only a 5% chance that AGW is for real, we should be taking action.

more likely because they are politicians and sense that most voters have been sucked in to the cgw.

That is so weak.

Are any of you guys in north Louisiana concerned about the coal-fired generating plant proposed for Texarkana?
The 600 MG coal fired power plant in Hempstead County near Texarkana that Arkansas' Public Service Commission has approved, but which has not passed into total approved status by the state's Dept of Environmental Quality (DEQ) yet, must be stopped from being constructed or we will see this state sink deeper into air pollution degradation, and therefore, health degradation. Below are some links where there is both info and a video trailer, some attached flyers, etc. The video was shown here a few weeks ago at the Fayetteville Public Library and is excellent. We hope to get some additional copies available for more showings here and in other towns.
A small group of activists have met a couple of times since the video showing in order to organize efforts to both alert and educate people of the consequences of burning yet more coal for power. The Hempstead plant and another already approved near Oceola, AR will produce enough carbon dioxide pollution to raise Arkansas' CO2 levels by 16% according to calculations done by organizers in this grassroot effort. CO2 is not classified as an air contaminant in Arkansas so DEQ is acting like its hands are tied,
BUT has still not given final approval. Gov. Beebe is really holding the big ace in stopping this plant and he's saying he's waiting on his Global Warming Commission's report (as if they will say, " Geezz, no CO2 really isn't causing global warming!").
To make matters worse for us in our corner of the state (we already have a plant at Gentry just up the road), there's a plant planned near Poteau, OK and it's smoke will reach us according to folks checking wind patterns. This means sounding alarm of disapproval in OK as well.

Hogwash, Aub. Modern day coal-fired generating plants do not pour a black cloud into the sky. And while people who are paying 9-cent fuel-cost adjustment per kilowatt hour for fuel cost adjustments for power generated from natural gas plants, customers getting electricity from coal-fired plants are paying 1.5 cent fuel cost adjustments per kWh. Give people that choice and see what you get.
