Hurricane Fallout: Rep.
Waxman Urges Congress to
Hold Global Warming Hearings

Breitbart's Big Government, by Tony Lee

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/1/2012 10:48:53 AM

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) on Wednesday used Hurricane Sandy to promote his global warming agenda by urging Congress to hold hearings on the links between global warming and Hurricane Sandy during the lame-duck session of Congress after Tuesday's elections. Waxman, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee who authored the cap-and-trade bill, wrote a letter to Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), the Committee's Chairman, on Wednesday encouraging him "seize this opportunity" to hold such hearings. “Hurricane Sandy is exactly the type of extreme weather event that climate scientists have said will become more frequent and

Comments:
If they do in fact hold these sham hearings then Joe Bastardi should be called to testify that what is happening is cyclical weather changes. He has been on Fox many times in the last week and has been exceptional. Here is the link to his site if you are interested:

Bastardi is of course right.

Caught Bastardi on FNC yesterday and he basically said the recent screed by Al Gore just showed Mr. Gore knows NOTHING about the weather and is an embarrassment to weather educated folks everywhere....

To follow the model set by the White House response to the Libya attack, we need to wait about eight weeks AFTER Sandy before we hold any hearings. Then we can assign a blue ribbon commission that reports back in a few years.

What? Mother nature needs to be investigated? But the lyin', thievin' Obama Administration doesn't?

Trying to stay relevant, Henry? They won't call Bastardi to testify--he knows too much. They'll call some of Gores buddies. You know, dentists, beach bums, movie stars, and the like, people who can't even spell meteorology.

As a meteorologist/climatolgist for 36 years now, all I can say is Joe is a real treasure. Glad his voice has media access. Of course, he's absolutely right. First of all, hurricane occurances have absolutely nothing to do with "climate change", whether naturally occuring or anthropogenic. In fact, we have been through several years of low hurricane activity recently. The fact that the one that did affect the US this year fell upon the most populated mid-Atlantic states is strictly an act of chance. These climate opportunists simply saw this high visiblity event to continue their money-making climate change rant. Despicable.

Rush named this buffoon Nostrilitis and ever since that's all I think of when I see the nose hair long enough to braid and hear or read the snotty thoughts that spew out of his gargantuan nose. Someone, anyone, please. Take this off the deep end RAT somewhere and tape him to a chair, gag him, cut his nose hair, and then put him on a raft without a motor and send him on his way to cross the ocean without a motor. He has enough hot air to propel him that it shouldn't be a problem.

Every hurricane is terrible to the people that it hits. Hurricane Sandy was no different from any other hurricane in that respect.

By historical standards, Hurricane Sandy was a relatively minor hurricane (Category 1 when it made landfall). What made it so damaging was where it made landfall - a very high population area with a high density of oceanfront development.

It has been over seven years since a Category 3 or greater hurricane has made landfall in the U.S. This is the longest period of no major hurricanes since we began measuring them.

We are constantly told that the past 10 years of mild summers and hard winters is not evidence against Global Warming. We are also told that the seven year stretch with no major hurricanes is also no evidence against Global Warming. The fact that every Global Warming model ten years ago predicted annual increases in warming and annual increases in the rate and intensity of hurricanes is irrelevant.

And yet, every time there is a hurricane or any other extreme weather event (which we naturally have all the time somewhere in the world) it is immediately proclaimed as yet more proof of Global Warming.

It is almost certain that the next seven years will have more severe hurricanes than the last seven. It is simply the law of averages. It is also certain that every hurricane will be proclaimed as proof of Global Warming. It is simply the law of Global Warming politics.

1. Put a line item in the Federal budget [once we start using them again]. Budget $500 a year for Waxman's "hearings." Period.

2. Any parent knows kids will pick their noses. At least show your kids a picture of Waxman and warn them not to use their thumbs.

I saw Joe Bastardi (who really should change his name) on Fox last night, and he demolished the global warming argument with historical facts.
He could have, with enough time, also explained that the destruction over the century from storms has increased because stupid people want to build in flood/oceanfront areas, and stupid government created flood insurance so the rest of us could pay for their stupidity.

Absolutely incredible- Hurricanes have been around since - well, forever. And, one hits NY, a very rare occurrence, and suddenly, the Green Commies see an opportunity to revive their lies and strangle hold on our national energy situation which is on it's death bed now! The real investigation should be why Waxman et al are mooching up to the Saudis and Iranians for more importation of oil, making us ever more and more dependent for this critical resource from our swon enemies!

By all means hold the hearings. Begin them with a presentation of the latest report from the Climate Research Unit showing no warming for the last 17 years. Gee if there is no warming, how can you blame anything on warming....

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
