Boxer, Kerry Set to Introduce Climate Bill in Senate

Ending some nine months of closed-door deliberations, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) will release global warming legislation Wednesday that they hope will be the vehicle for broader Senate negotiations and an eventual conference with the House.

*snip*

Kerry last week sought to change the vernacular surrounding the climate bill and sell its concepts more broadly, insisting it is not a "cap and trade" proposal but a "pollution reduction" bill. "I don't know what 'cap and trade' means. I don't think the average American does," Kerry said. "This is not a cap-and-trade bill, it's a pollution reduction bill" (E&E Daily, Sept. 25).

But a leading GOP opponent to the Senate climate effort quickly pushed back on the Democrat's strategy.

"No matter the semantic games employed, or the extent to which Democrats wish to hide the truth from the American people, cap and trade will mean more job losses, more pain at the pump, and higher food and electricity prices for consumers," said EPW Committee ranking member James Inhofe (R-Okla.)."

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Hey DumbAss, the problem is that the average American DOES KNOW what the "Cap and Tax" bill is, that is why you idiots have decided to change the game and call it a pollution control bill.  A pile of horse shit called by another name is still going to stink. 0Bama has done the same thing with "healthcare reform", by changing it to insurance reform, so the left has an easy target in the insurance companies.

www.junkscience.com has the proposed bill on line. It is a creation of a new and massive buracracy which will cause a hugh descruction to what is left of our industrial base while making multi billionairs of Al Gore, Kerry, etal..

It is another LIE that CO2 is a polutant! It is a major source of life, and if CO2 vanished from the atmosphere, we'd die, all of us.
