Dems are determined on climate control

Senator Webb (D-VA), who campaigned as a conservative Democrat, again sent me his form letter saying that he will make sure whatever climate control legislation involves the "other major emitters" and is "fair." To him, I say:

Senator Webb,

I have received your form letter talking about going after all major CO2 "emitters." Please don't send it again. It does not reflect well on you.

CO2 is essential to life on our planet. Historically, we currently have low levels of CO2 in our atmosphere. Sure, there's more than 100 years ago, but geologically speaking 100 years is nothing.

I am going to cut my discussion down to some bullet points:
-There is no evidence of global warming. If anthropogenic global warming were true, the temperatures of this past decade would have gone up, not down.
-Even if there is global warming, there is no evidence of it being caused or contributed by humans.
-Even if there is man-made global warming, there is no evidence it would be bad for us. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that cold is very BAD for us. We have been having a relatively cool summer. Many farmers around the globe have already been hit by it.
-Even if there is global warming that is bad for us, man-made or not, there is no evidence that there is anything we can do about it.

-CO2 is a RARE trace gas that is essential to our biosphere.

Let me put that a different way: We have trace gases--gases that are rare amongst the other gases in the atmosphere. CO2 is rare amongst these trace gases. And the stuff is critical for plants to live and thrive. Animals on this planet need plants to live and thrive so they can, in turn, live and thrive. By taking CO2 out of the atmosphere, we are killing the planet.

So, to answer your point about making sure whatever legislation that is approved is "fair," the only fair climate control legislation... no... the only SMART climate control legislation is that which is voted down.

As I promised Senator Warner, even though I am not normally politically active, I will spend personal effort, capital, and time to campaign against any Virginia Congressional representative who votes for any climate control bill.

Thank you,

Frank Doss
