GLOBAL WARMING ON TRIAL 

It has been a while since we have had any global warming in the news. But don't worry ... that debate is coming next, right after the Democrats finish with their government healthcare. Once they succeed in taking over 17% of the economy, then it is on to cap-and-trade, increasing taxes, crushing economic prosperity and whatever else they can do keep you suckling on the government teat.

So back to global warming ... the US Chamber of Commerce wants to put the science of global warming on trial. They want the EPA to hold a public hearing on the scientific evidence for man-made global warming. This is great! I love it! Businesses know how devastating this Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill will be. So before they let the Democrats get any further, they want to put the science on trial. Prove that this global warming is real and that your bill will do something to change it.

The fact of the matter is that this will never, ever happen. Why is that? Simple. Because the Democrats know that they will lose. They know that they have based their cap-and-tax schemes on a completely fraudulent cause that has nothing to do with the environment. They won't go on trial because it would be so embarrassing to see them try and defend something they can't prove.

Not only that, but the EPA, especially under a Democrat president, would never allow something like this to come to pass. A public hearing on the scientific evidence for man-made global warming?? Are you kidding me? But when the EPA denies the request (notice I said "when" not "if), the Chamber plans to fight it out in federal court.

The Chamber of Commerce says that this would be "the Scopes monkey trial of the 21st century ... and a judge who would rule, essentially, on whether humans are warming the planet to dangerous effect."
