And just how does a person determine that your job loss was attributed to the Clean Energy Act?

Directly or indirectly? Immediately or 18 months later?

And.. for 156 weeks/3 years?

1) There was first in the 1970's the globaloney cooling scam (see e.g. Newsweek April 28 1975 on the internet); the government-paid scientists (90% of them are rejects of private enterprise) recommended to fight the new ice age by sending our war planes to cover the polar ice with soot in order to increase solar heat and prevent crushing of New York skyscrapers by the new glaciers;
2) When that did not work we had the globaloney warming hoax in the 1990's, proclaimed by mainly the same government-paid scientists (Dr. Hansen of the NOAA, for example); to prevent the massive heating, fires, flooding of coastal cities, disappearance of Florida, California, and Caribbean islands, massive hurrucanes, global famine, and other catastrophic events we should nationalize oil and gas and coal and electricity companies;
3) after 11 years of considerable cooling we are now faced with the climate change flimflam where whatever happens with our climate we should nationalize oil and gas and coal and electricity companies; and why not our banks, car companies while we are at it. To prevent this catastrophe the best vehicle presumably is international agreements enforced by the United Nations world government.
As for the influence of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas: on a normal day the atmoshere contains 10,000 ppm (parts per million) of water vapor and about 300 ppm of carbon dioxide. The government-paid scientists say that an increase of 100 ppm of CO2 over the next 50 years will result in a catastrophic warming. The thermal absorptivity of water vapor is 4 times larger than that of carbon dioxide; it follows that the CO2 increase will increase the overall thermal absorptivity of the mixture by about 1/4 of one percent. The production of methane from livestock and the swamps (or as the enviro-nazis call those "wetlands") vastly surpasses the influence of CO2.
There is the Global Warming Petition Project (see Internet) where 31,478 US independent scientists declared that there is no anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming; of these 9,029 are scientists with PhD degrees. Our enviro-nazis tried to sabotage this effort by submiiting phony names with phoney degrees - and then claimed the whole effort by the Petition scientists was a fraud. It took us 3 years and a lot of private money to verify the credentials of all the signatories and clean up the Petition of those saboteurs. See also Manhattan Declaration with more such signatories, plus a large number of scientific groups from other countries who state the same.
I am one of these signatories, MS and PhD degrees from UCLA, with majors in thermodynamics and heat & mass transfer.
I think to fight this communist attempt to secure a world government should not be fought on the narrow grounds of more taxes - that is the losing proposition; where about 50% of the population is on some kind of welfare we will always be outvoted. The battle should be fought and won on the firm scientific basis.
SCAM - HOAX - FLIMFLAM!!!

Marc:
The Revolution was done by, depending on the estimate, about 15-20% of the colonial population. When dealing with tyrants and the tyrants-to-be, the minority in this country will just have to DO it, regardless of the rest. The Founding Revolutionaries didn't take polls or wring their hands in what-to-do mode. Action, unfortunately, will have to be taken, eventually, to rid ourselves of the tyrants and demagogues. I sincerely hope that is not the case but history seems to say otherwise. Read Mr. Jefferson on Liberty and Tyranny.

Pure liberal genius. A foolproof scheme to manufacture more dependents and therefore more votes. I have been trying to come up with a catchy political phrase for a bumper sticker and I think I have it now. "Green People Suck." You know, put it on your overtaxed SUV to counteract the Osama and "Mean People Suck" stickers on the Toyota Piouses.

This is "Hope and Change"....

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. "
Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. "
Thomas Jefferson

Where is our Jefferson today saying these things. Certainly not Colin Powell who thinks Americans want more government. No statesmen exist today in that rathole we call Washington, D.C.

Poor George Washington -- he'd be appalled to see how many Americans revile the city with his name.

Here at America’s Power, we believe that Americans need a climate plan that’s affordable and effective. Americans should support a plan that:

• Achieves emissions reductions
• Creates jobs
• Preserves fuel diversity as a means of promoting greater energy independence
• Protects consumers against unnecessarily
high energy costs

We support a federal plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the Waxman-Markey bill needs to do more to guarantee that consumers are protected from unnecessary increases in energy costs. Because without these changes the bill is not affordable – and therefore, not effective.
