Fighting the Enviro-Tyrants

Finally an oil company exec has the stones to fight back over the global warming hoax that's being used as an excuse to destroy liberty and free enterprise while increasing government power over every aspect of our lives.

Exxon Mobil chief Rex Tillerson said:

"My view is that this is so extraordinarily important to people the world
over, that to not have a debate on it is irresponsible," he said. "To suggest
that we know everything we need to know about these issues is
irresponsible.

"And I will take all the criticism that comes with it. Anybody that
tells you that they got this figured out is not being truthful. There are too
many complexities around climate science for anybody to fully understand all of
the causes and effects and consequences of what you may chose to do to attempt
to affect that. We have to let scientists to continue their investigative work,
unencumbered by political influences. This is too important to be cute with
it."

Congressman Ed Markey(lawyer, non scientist) is proving the point with his proposal to create a massive new tax and government revenue stream out of (literally) thin air.

"Markey said the measure would generate $8 trillion through the auctioning of
emissions allowances to polluters...Markey’s bill would not give polluters free
emission allowances, but instead immediately put a price on emissions in an
auction...“The business community that has been polluting has to accept the
responsibility that this is a price that has been paid for by the society as a
whole,” Markey said."

Replace the words "business community" with " American individual" because that's who is going to pay for this colossal transfer of wealth and power to the government. And what exactly is this price that society has paid anyway?

Additionally, The Heritage Foundation has done an analysis of the huge costs that will follow with passage of the Lieberman-Warner Climate Change Bill:

"The study, produced by Heritage's Center for Data Analysis (CDA), forecasts
severe consequences—including crushing energy costs, millions of jobs lost and
falling household income—if Congress enacts the so-called Lieberman-Warner bill."
