Boxer-Waxman Overdrive

 
Hey there! What's up with our two environmental warriors from Californee?

Thats right; we're referring to Barbara (pit viper) Boxer, and Henry (disfigured) Waxman.
 
Of course, if one were to be born diminutive as the Lilliputian Boxer, or as alien-looking as Mr. Waxman, you too would probably go about life seeking revenge upon the world.
 
And this is EXACTLY what these two cold-blooded rattlesnakes have undertaken!
 
Remember studying the Great Crusades of the 12th century?
 
Boxer and Waxman are now conducting their own leftist-driven crusade with their bizarre "climate change" legislation - intent on spreading California's environmental carcinoma to destroy America from within.
 
But how do they get away with it?
 
Late last June, weasel Waxman cleared the first legislative hurdle, passing his 1500-page version in the House (the Waxman-Markey bill).
 
And Boxer's chance in the Senate now rests upon two huge advantages: the astounding stupidity of the American public; and the traitorous complicity of the mainstream media.
 
Today's "average American" knows not the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide - lacking even a rudimentary understanding of basic science.
 
Hence, Boxer and Waxman are able to perpetrate their perfidious cap 'n trade legislation - premised on the fallacy that by taxing fossil fuels, it forces energy producers to become "green," lest they emit excessive carbon dioxide - the scam of the century! 
 
Yes, let us intrepidly go forth and ruin our economy, in lieu of a 20% reduction in U.S. CO2 emissions by year 2025.
 
Great idea. Right up there with changing over to the metric system, and the new Coke.
 
We've entered a "bold" new progressive era - where an insanely-damaging concept is put forth by a socialist, hard-left Congress - while the lamestream media is AWOL about the havoc it will wreak on a vastly dumbed-down American public.
 
According to Boxer and Waxman, climate change legislation will save Earth from impending incineration- implying that a calamity of Biblical proportions lies just around the ecological corner.
 
Thus "Boxer-Waxman Overdrive" pushes for a massive tax on the coal and oil establishment, to punish them for the impending climate conflagration they assure is on the way.
 
Such liars!  Earth's temperature has been COOLING for eleven consecutive years.   
 
These Lefist thieves seek not the preservation of the environment, but rather power to the government to regulate energy production - taxing per metric ton of supposedly "damaging" carbon dioxide emissions - an unlimited stream of revenue that will ultimately ravage the pockets of anyone using energy.
 
God save America from these treasonous connivers! - who very well know that attempting to reduce worldwide atmospheric CO2 is a fool's errand for all time.
 
So what should we all do? Ride bicycles? Burn whale oil? Return to kerosene lamps?
 
And what about all the ecological damage lying just above America's 49th parallel? Why is there no mention of that?
 
Currently, Canada - more specifically the "tar sands" from Alberta - provides a healthy 20% of America's imported oil - but at what environmental cost?
 
Articles abound in the American media touting the need for clean energy; but nothing is printed of the horrid ecological cataclysm from Canadian oil, mined from bituminous sand (tar sands). 
 
From outer space, the sheer enormity of Alberta's "Tar Sands Gigaproject" can easily be seen - the largest industrial undertaking in human history; and also, its most destructive.
 
POINT: Tar sands' mining releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production; and now stands as the single largest industrial contributor in North America to  "climate change."
 
POINT: Tar sands are already the cause of the world's second fastest rate of deforestation- lagging behind only the Amazon Basin. 
 
POINT: Producing one barrel of synthetic Canadian oil requires five times the amount of water vs. conventional drilling on land.

POINT: I
n many Alberta communities, human health has declined precipitously - the causes alleged to be from the massive scope of tar sands production.
 
So where is the outrage from Boxer? Why is this not brought up in Congress? How does this continue to escape the public's "radar screen?"
 
Why doesn't Waxman take his House Environmental Committee on an investigative tour to Alberta, and witness the ecological-societal discord firsthand?

From housing crises, to the vast expansion of temporary foreign-worker programs, the Tar Sands Gigaproject is causing bitter social rifts, arising from the influx of so-called "non-citizens," and has roiled Albertan society down to its very core. 
 
Why do the great "humanitarians" in Congress seem blind to that? Why does the media remain mum?
 
Because of California's radicalism, 83% of America's vast oil reserves lie off-limits; yet we import Canadian synthetic crude at a huge cost to earth's environment - that same environment the Left professes to defend!
 
Canada's oil sands' industry now reigns as the world's foremost greenhouse gas emitter: the entire process approximately doubles to trebles the amount of CO2 released per barrel of petroleum produced, compared to conventional oil extraction.
 
And danger Will Robinson! The Canadians lurk right next door to us - emitting massive amounts of harmless carbon dioxide.
 
For the last twenty years, Boxer and Waxman have set up roadblock-after-roadblock to prevent offshore drilling - domestic oil which would obviate the necessity to import Canadian syncrude, and would more than achieve a 20% reduction in North American CO2 emissions - thereby eliminating need for ANY climate change legislation.
 
Recent data compiled from the University of Bristol (England) proves that - since 1850 -the ratio of CO2 absorbed into the atmosphere remains approximately constant, DESPITE carbon emissions having risen from two billion metric tons per year back then - to 35 billion tons per year emitted now.
 
This suggests Earth's atmosphere, although in constant flux, has its own remarkable ability to keep well-regulated the critical balance of gases that sustain life - and utterly refutes claims that we are approaching a carbon catastophe.
 
Although widely disproved in England, the American left-slanted press contends that global warming portends imminent danger, and of the overriding urgency for climate change legislation.
 
But not a discouraging word is ever heard of the massive CO2 explosion just north of our border; and how it renders meaningless any U.S. climate change laws - thereby branding Boxer and Waxman as nefarious liars with treasonous objectives.
 
So the media blackout proceeds onward. Not even Fox news dares violate this unwritten code of censorship. And given the enormous revenues the government will glean by its "cap 'n trade" taxation on America's conventional power industry, that timeless proverb now becomes ever more relevant: "Silence is golden."
