WASHINGTON — Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. To back up his claim he is proposing a recipe many people won’t like _ a 50-cent gasoline tax, a carbon tax and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.

Many questioned the wisdom of inviting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Columbia University. Though it is not known if midgets often speak on campus, one thing is for sure. The Iranian in knee pants got what he wanted. Columbia was used and as witness to the fact Those Jerks at CarbonCreditWarehouse.com present:

World leaders will gather today at the United Nations for talks on how to fight global warming. It seems they can’t come up with any other way to turn the US into a third world nation. So ahead they plunge carrying the torch of global warming. Well, maybe that’s not the most apt metaphor.

Climate change may help rainforests

Climate change may lead to lush growth rather than catastrophic tree loss in the Amazonian forests, researchers from the US and Brazil have found. A study, in the journal Science, found that reduced rainfall had led to greener forests, possibly because sunlight levels are higher when there are fewer rainclouds.

Ben Doherty and Marian Wilkinson, writing for Australia’s The Age, report on “Paying dearly to hear Gore’s climate story.” (With added Smart-Alec commentary from Those Jerks @ Carbon Credit Warehouse.com.)

• AL GORE has a story he wants to tell the world. But it will cost you a thousand dollars to hear it. (and billions more to practice it.)

I don’t know if you’ve noticed Fred Thompson’s entrance into the presidential race. The Republicans kind of slipped it in under the radar as part of strategy for stealing the election once again.

From TerraDaily.com we learn that Emory University scientists have discovered (or created) a mutant enzyme that could allow plants to convert CO2 more efficiently during photosynthesis.

“Ichiro Matsumura, PhD, assistant professor of biochemistry at Emory University School of Medicine, is the senior author and principal investigator. The lead author is research specialist Monal R. Parikh.”

Nancy Pelosi recently returned from Greenland to report that the glaciers are receding!

Today she runs, hair aflame, to The People’s Republic of Portland, Oregon to glean ideas on building “green” and to discuss how we can all reduce our carbon footprints. Not hers of course, just yours and mine.

Given the number of suicide bombings in addition to the murders of 9/11, Bin Laden has to have a carbon footprint that makes Shaq’s footprint look like a little china girl.

Additionally, how many goats does he own? Is he collecting the manure and putting it in a digester to convert it to methane? Has he erected even one wind turbine?
