John Coleman, meteorologist and founder of the Weather Channel, called the theory of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) "the greatest scam in history."

Over 90 % of climate scientists on record are skeptics.  Yet AGW alarmists (influenced perhaps by government research grants) somehow claim a "consensus."  (In the 1970s the so-called "consensus" favored disasterous global cooling.)

Far more dramatic, albeit natural, cycles of "climate change" (cooling and warming) have occurred ever since the planet's fiery origin, subsequent cooling resulting in a series of ice ages, and long before the emergence of mankind.  10,000 years ago, the ongoing interglacial period substituted the "Great Lakes" for the "Great Glaciers."  Similar "climate change" (including warming) also occurs elsewhere in the solar system, on planets not known to harbor human beings.

Historically, carbon build-up does not precede, but lags behind warming by 800 years. In addition, the past 11 years of cooling despite continuing carbon buildup have also falsified AGW's underlying premise. Finally, in 2007, the German physicist Gerlich demonstrated that the so-called "atmospheric CO2 greenhouse effect" lacks any basis in physics.

And now, we have documentary proof from the Climate Research Unit in East Anglia that AGw hysteria was from the outset a deliberate fraud.  Data was manipulated in order to create a false impression that would support the hysteria.  As one email revealed, the goal was to "hide the decline" in temperature.

Yet despite the complete lack of scientific basis as well as the positive evidence of a deliberate political hoax, the politicians will still have their predetermined Copenhagen "conference" seeking a treaty to cap carbon emissions.  In so doing they will turn a blind eye to the necessity of economic development, not only to the Free World (including the United States), but also to the impoverished Third World.  The Copenhagen Conference should be called off.

I oppose any bill that provides for government-controlled health care for the following reasons: 

(1) It is totalitarian (as interfering with our individual self-determination) and contrary to our basic rights recognized in the Declaration of Independence (to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness"),
 - the right to life excludes tax-payer subsidized abortion (which would eventually arrive in any government-controlled health care plan, with or without the Stupak-Pitts language). 
(2) It is unconstitutional (as going beyond the limited powers delegated to the federal government). 
(3) It is undemocratic (as subordinating our health care to the whims of unelected bureaucrats, who arbitrarily assess the comparative value to the all-powerful State of a given citizen's life, and via "death panels" limit their access to future care);
(4) It is unequal (as exempting the politicians who impose this burden on their constituents while keeping their own health care plans). 
(5) It is economically disasterous (as taking over one sixth of the economy, adding $6 trillion in costs over a ten year period and, via deficit spending, depriving future generations of a prosperous life-style). 
(6) It is regressive in that it undermines the world's finest and most progressive health care system (by rationing medical care and depriving senior citizens of critical operations, by discouraging and decreasing supply of prospective future physicians, while increasing demand for trivial ailments, and it also would slow down medical research into new cures and treatments (as advocated by Obama's medical advisers).
(7) It is inherently corrupt (since it steals from the taxpayer and gives the loot to tax-subsidized parasites, and since  expansion of government power vastly expands opportunities for bribery for monopolistic government favortism, e.g., as to preferred patients, as to preferred businesses contracting with the government for goods and seervices, as to preferred doctors, and as to preferred access to government jobs).
