Waxman: Obama Should Regulate Oil Refineries, Household Appliances to Stop Global Warming
2013-02-16
But I thought we all bought new appliances with government help a few years ago in order to fix that. Did we not thusly cool the sun's passion?
[CNSNEWS] Representative Henry Waxman
...the funny-looking Democrat Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia. First elected in 1975, his estimated retirement date is 2075 or maybe later...
(D-Calif.) said the B.O. regime should regulate oil refineries, household appliances, and even renegotiate climate treaties if Congress does not pass legislation dealing with global warming.

"The president will be taking action by executive order through his administration," Waxman said at a presser on Friday unveiling his Safe Climate Caucus, which will work to pressure House Republicans to take up a climate change initiative.

Waxman, who said that Obama's executive actions would also pressure the GOP, explained that there were several things the administration might do to address global warming.

"We've asked the White House to coordinate their activities throughout the various departments and the various areas within the administration," Waxman explained. "The EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] can do a lot more. They've proposed regulating new power plants to control emissions, they can go forward and complete that rule."

#11  Global warming is just another lefty con game to try to grab money that doesn't belong to them. In another time this was called stealing. Waxman, go pound sand.

#8  Stopping global warming? That is like pissing into a hurricane to try to slow it down. It's going to happen anyway.

#4  Add "Tree, Rope, Journalist - some assembly required" to that mix.

They are the reason the voters are so intentionally mis-informed that they voted for these guys.

#3  They ARE mostly fascists, SAM, except for those like Harkin that are full on communists that believe that all wealth belongs to the state to be allocated at the whim of the pols.

Tree, rope, politicians...some assembly required.
