Michael Doherty: A Voice of Sanity in New Jersey's Bureaucrat Madhouse
Despite the welcome warming trend during the 1990s, it looks like we're in for some cold. At least there's a small chance this will stop New Jersey bureaucretins from choking the life out of the state's economy in the name of the global warming hoax. Politicker NJ reports:
Responding to various new scientific reports questioning the concept of global warming, Assemblyman Michael Doherty today called on Governor Corzine to hold off on proposing any new regulations associated with the state's Global Warming Response Act and urged the Legislature to repeal that act when it returns to legislative business after Labor Day.
"There are many credible members of the scientific community who have questioned the theory of global warming, and now we have some scientists actually suggesting the earth's temperatures may be entering a period of dramatic cooling," said Doherty, R-Warren and Hunterdon. "With this growing level of scientific uncertainty, it makes no sense to enact a new set of economically damaging regulations prompted by the global warming hysteria of recent years."
The Global Warming Response Act was signed last year by Corzine, which requires the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050. The law required the state Department of Environmental Protection to release a report detailing how the state would meet the goals, with recommendations now expected to be issued this fall.
According to recent news reports, a top observatory that has been measuring sun spot activity predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next 20 years as solar activity slows and the planet drastically cools down. They suggest this could potentially herald the onset of a new ice age. Following the end of the sun's most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now decreasing.
No wonder hoaxers have been getting so shrill. If they can't shout down grownups like Doherty and impose an economic stranglehold in the name of global warming before people notice the temperatures falling, they'll have to start all over again, after dusting off the Ice Age hysteria from the 1970s.
On a tip from mega.

The global warming hoax is nothing more than a way to increase taxes to pay for enormous deficits many states are running.
Recall that before Corzine became a tax and spend Governor he was a tax a spend U.S.Senator.
As his biography states: Despite his wealth, Corzine has promoted a liberal agenda as a politician.
Need I say more?

Senator Chuck Schumer suggests giving Russia whatever they want (including $3 billion US taxpayers' money), like Georgia, as long as they can help US with Iran.

Denver not only had a very cold day yesterday, but they beat the record cold temperature by a whopping five degrees!
Thank God that nature is cooperating with us to unmask the global warming hoax. There's still hope that we might come to our senses before we do too much economic damage.
