Interesting article from Reuters on the Global Warming Bill introduced by Senator Lieberman and defeated in the Senate.

If we leave business/industry alone, provide incentives to reduce emissions, provide the support for technology that will reduce emissions - we will cut emissions by at least 50% in the next fifteen years without extra costs or loss of jobs. We can do it. We, a nation that regularly sends ships into space, established the integral components for the space station - we who revitalized the industries of the world - we can do it, without a law mandating change.

The sentence (and paragraph since these news resources do not understand the structure of paragraphs - the sentence is a paragraph, incomplete though it is) I found most interesting, wholly unrelated to global warming, but useful ...


"In America change doesn't happen overnight, it takes time to turn the ship of state," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat who shepherded the bill.


I will have to remember her statement when she next criticizes an American president for not moving faster or making changes quicker.

She is a hypocrite.
