Wait a moment, I thought we were supposed to be planting lots and lots of trees in order to stop the spector of man made global warming so that the Earth cools down and the seas stop rising? Heck, there is a large part of the House AGW bill all about planting trees. No? Jobs […]

With the passage of the massively insane Waxman-Markey cap and tax bill, here are four questions to ask those who support it, particularly the politicians who voted for it and AGW leaders such as Al Gore 1.
