Political Quotes

“a petition has been signed and released by over 17,000 scientists urging the Congress and other lawmakers around the world to reject the Kyoto Protocols on global climate change. The 17,000 signers include over 2,000 physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists. In addition, 4,400 are qualified to assess the effects of carbon dioxide upon the Earth's plant and animal life, and most of the remaining signers have technical training suitable to understanding climate change issues. The petition letter is a strongly worded statement that goes beyond rejecting the Kyoto Protocol. It denies the existence of any scientific evidence that man-made greenhouse gases will cause catastrophic warming, and even goes so far as to say ``increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.'' That is because carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is a life essential gas. Mr. Speaker, it is time for this administration and its extremists to stop the deception of the American people on global climate change.”
