Although Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama represent vastly different segments of the American population, their positions on climate change are not that dissimilar.  Both men feel that President Bush’s stance on emissions cuts and dependence on fossil fuels is weak and they pledge to do more to fight global warming.

While all of the focus as of late has been on the meltdown in the financial sector, let’s not forget about the still staggering gas prices in America. For too long, Democrats have controlled our fuel supply by preventing the construction of new nuclear facilities, increasing oil exploration and limiting refining capacity. In this June 24th article from Reuters (UK), Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s stance on nuclear energy and offshore drilling is revealed. Hint: nuclear is no good because there’s no plan in place for waste …

The editor over at the Chilling Effect website posted a great article yesterday which expounded on a write-up in the LA Times.  There is a growing disconnect between what the American people want and what Democrats think they want.
Remember Barack Obama’s answer to the growing energy crisis?  Properly inflate your tires to save gasoline, he remarked.  What was one of the dominant chants heard at the Republican National Convention?  “Drill, baby, drill!”  The American people are looking for solutions to the energy crisis, not simple-minded tactics that may save a …

Reported yesterday, Harry Reid’s attempt to include a ban of oil shale in a $56 billion economic stimulus package failed today in the US Senate.  The House of Representatives is expecting to consider a similar bill as early as Friday but it, too, is expected to fail as President Bush has already threatened a veto.  Senators not voting on the bill at all include John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Barack Obama (not even voting present!!) and Joe Biden (D-CT), among others.  While the bill had enough votes for a …

Watch, folks. You’re about to become witness to something so amazing and so astounding that you won’t believe your eyes. Ready? Environmentalist and Barack Obama supporter Bette Midler gets it. See? Not so bad. Bette has given up touring in lieu of a Las Vegas show to do her part to help the environment. Midler says the number of trucks in her entourage has grown over the years and she wants to cut her pollution. So instead of touring the country, she …

Environentalist Al Gore will be flying to Britain soon to campaign for Barack Obama alongside Gwyneth Paltrow. Gore will be there to mobilize Democrats for Obama’s campaign. Wonder why Gore couldn’t be more sensitive to the planet and just appear via video link?

Senators Barack Obama and John McCain both support a cap-and-trade system here in the U.S. and say they will implement such a market-based system when elected.  The Messiah, ummm, The One wants to lower emissions 90% below 1990 levels by 2050 and John McCain wishes to lower emissions to 60% of 1990 levels by the same year.  Neither one get this, though:  global warming is not of anthropogenic origins.  Cooler global temperatures combined with increasing carbon emissions does not compute.

John Kerry published a piece in the Financial Times yesterday, which was really just a pitch for the Obama campaign.  In it, he said the polar ice caps are melting (as they have before this whole climate change scam started), the coastlines are shrinking (some are growing, Senator Kerry) and extreme weather is more common (no, no and no).  The former Presidential candidate also said that we need to “put our own house in order.”  A question for you, Senator Kerry:  will you be more specific?  I mean, after all, …

John McCain recycled some 12,000 miniature American flags left over from Barack Obama’s nomination speech last week and gave them to audience members at the Republican National Convention.  The flags were discovered in trash bags in and near garbage bins at Denver’s Invesco Field.  Democrats say that the flags weren’t being thrown away and were snatched by McCain for political gain.  I’d say trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins is pretty convincing evidence that the Democrats were going to throw them out.  With Obama’s supposed concern …

Having watched Sarah Palin’s speech tonight during the broadcast of the Republican National Convention, she certainly seems like a go-getter and a bulldog.  From budget reform in Alaska to gas tax revenue refunds for taxpayers, it seems a nod for Palin is a good choice for America.  What struck me most during her nearly 45-minute speech, however, was a quick sentence or two that jabbed at leaders like Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi.  Palin said that she wants to drill in Alaska, but she wants to use all the resources …
