There are still heroes in politics.

We all know that the American Rethuglican party has long since abandoned conservatism in favour of outright insanity. Their latest lunatic proposal, an exercise in explicit science denial sponsored by the famously Magog Cartel-esque Koch Industries, The Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011, bears witness to this neurological decline.

:
To amend the Clean Air Act to prohibit the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency from promulgating any regulation concerning, taking action relating to, or taking into consideration the emission of a greenhouse gas due to concerns regarding possible climate change, and for other purposes.
It redefines "pollutant" to specifically exclude carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride, and any other substance that science has and might discover contributes to climate change, and rules that the EPA cannot regulate them. You would be right to guess that it has garnered much support from coal and oil companies and agribusiness.

The hearings concerning this bill have been a series of scientists testifying to its lunacy and the conservatives playing some sort of drinking game out of the discredited global warming myths.

So, when the Republicans have "proved" with legislation that pollutants are not pollutants and are therefore safe for all, who among the few democrats with a backbone will stand against it? Why, Massachusetts representative Ed Markey, of course.



Careful, Ed. That last one might actually be on the cards. The fundamentalist zealots actually are that crazy.

Americans have a constitutional right to be mindless thugs and stupid cretins, but that right must end at the point where it adversely affects the safety and well-being of all those Americans with functional brains, and indeed, the people of the world as a whole.

People won't realise until many people are dying from the effects of climate change - Primarily because of food shortages due to environmental damage. And by that time it'll be too late to do anything about it.

It looks like these people are only saying this because they want more money. When will they realise that you can't use money when you're dead? And how do people like this get in power in the first place? Corruption?

Kudos to Ed Markey for having a backbone.
