Nancy Pelosi recently said of global warming, "The new scientific report on global warming warns that warming is already affecting the earth and that the effects are likely to be significant and widepread in this century, causing drought, water shortages, and widespread extinction of species."

Now I disagree with Pelosi's assessment. I don't think there's any real evidence that our earth is warming, at least not unnaturally. But let's say I give this issue to her. OK Nancy, I'm a little worried, so go ahead and do something about it. Tell me Nancy, what should we do?

What is Pelosi's solution? She has none. For all her frantic clammoring, Nancy Pelosi has not announced a Democratic plan for substantive change to our environmental laws. You'd think this topic would be at the very top of the Democrat's agenda. They say if we don't do anything, the world will soon end, right? But instead the Democrats used their first 100 days to push for lower interest rates on student loans and an incipid increase in the minimum wage.

Why aren't the Democrats pushing for an overhaul in automobile emmission standards? Why aren't they forcing us to replace incandescence light bulbs with fluorescence light bulbs? Or limit the amount of electricity we use? If they truly believe the world is on edge, then really folks, it's surely going to take more than attending an "Earth Day" concert and keeping your tires inflated to save on gasoline, right?

But I submit to you that the Democrats in Congress have no plans to slow down the effects of their imaginary global warming theory. Why are they being so hypocritcal?

First, big business owns Congress. Who funds campaigns? Big business PACs. How much money will big business donate to campaigns in the 2008 Elections vs. global warming activists? I bet the ratio is 100 to 1. And politicians never vote against their donors.

The second reason the Democrats won't make a move is that anything they might do will be unpopular with the Electorate. The types of things global warming advocates want to do are expensive, time-consuming, and go against the grain of how most Americans want to live their lives. 

Let me give an example. In Belgium they recently aapproved a tax on outdoor barbequing. Beginning June 2007, residents will have to pay 20 euros for a grilling session. Local authorities plan to monitor compliance with the new tax legislation from helicopters, whose thermal sensors will detect burning grills. Now can you envision any American politician winning an election by supporting this kind of nonsense? Can you imagine Hillary Clinton offering such a proposal? Maybe that sort of thing works in Europe, but not here in the United States.

 This is what I am getting at. We are going to continue to hear more and more about Global Warming, on the news and from politicians. That's because it "plays" well. But in the end, our hypocritical politicians won't act on this issue. That is why I don't worry about it too much. Global warming is to the Democrats what Immigration is to George W. Bush and the GOP. Lots of talk, no action. They funded a wall, but they won't build it! Now it's the Democrats turn!

If this keeps up, if both political parties continue to talk the walk, but not walk the talk, well then it might be time for a true Second American Revolution.
