SUMMARY

91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas.

86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.

The data and analysis has never been stronger against doing anything about climate change other than dealing with the minor effects when they occur. CO2 has increased in the atmosphere as a result of subtle warming that occurred since the little ice age. Warm oceans hold less CO2 than cold oceans--the same thing you see in your glass of gin and tonic--you ice your drink to keep the fizz and conversely your drinks lose their fizz as they warm. The trace amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere (380 parts per million) are whispers from the past and have about reached their maximum impact on the climate. The first coat of black paint on your window makes it 95% opaque. The second coat may make it 97% opaque--only a 2% gain. The total change we've experienced in temperature is around one degree in over 100 years. Divide that by 365, then by 24, then by 100, and it's not even worth talking about. Especially if your from the Midwest where we see a seasonal temperature change of over 120 degrees---every year!

Want to save $45 TRILLION DOLLARS? Drop this global warming bullshit! Tell your candidate to stop talking gibberish and spend the money where it will actually serve human needs, like desalination plants. Or more premium gins.

You know--I'm not sure I've really covered the areas in which we do need to spend Federal monies: disaster relief, defense, distileries . . .
