Danger
to Your Standard of Living!
Oregon is on the verge of increasing the cost of electricity, increasing the cost of heating your home, increasing the cost of gasoline and destroying thousands of jobs over an imagined danger.
This is the recommendation of Oregon's Global Warming Commission. The key element of this recommendation is implementation of a system that will require carbon offsets or credits for much of the fuel usage in Oregon. Amazingly, the head of Oregon's Global Warming Commission is chairman of a company that sells carbon offsets!
Oregon recently created the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute to be headed by Philip W. Mote, the Washington state climatologist, who will become a professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, where the institute will be located. Unfortunately, Mr. Mote has been implicated in fudging scientific data which falsely created the impression of dramatic melting of Northwest Glaciers, while long term data shows little change.
Oregon's goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 40% in just 12 years will cause major disruptions if implemented the way Oregon's Global Warming Commission advises. They ignore the one move that would actually lower our cost of energy and meet the CO2 goal at the same time: nuclear.
Instead they want to price energy so high that you are forced to use 40% less heat in the winter and drive 40% less.

- I believe it is appropriate to have an over-
representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is -- Al Gore
- Al Gore's net worth increased by $100 MILLION!
- Jim Hansen received $300,000 (he controls NASA’s climate reporting)
- Maurice Strong (former UN leader on climate change) is on the Chicago Climate Exchange board of directors
- Sir Nicholas Stern (Stern Report) launches carbon credit ratings agency
- BILLIONS of dollars go to researchers that deliver the right answers
- The carbon offset trading market is poised to become a TRILLION DOLLAR market, with vast profits to be made.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." — Henry Louis Mencken
