Wednesday was a blockbuster day for congressional testimony.
While disgraced attorney Michael Cohen was telling, to quote Shakespeare, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” CFACT’s Marc Morano appeared before Congress and exposed everything about the Green New Deal.
As Morano explained to Congress, “The Green New Deal has very little to do with the environment or climate… Global warming is merely the latest environmental scare with the same solutions of wealth redistribution and central planning.”
Read Marc Morano’s full submission at Climate Depot.
You can watch Marc testify here.
CFACT’s submission is filled with the facts, figures and history that expose the false premises the GND rests on and the false agendas that lurk behind it.
Marc pointed out that in 1908 fossil fuels accounted for 85% of U.S. energy consumption. In 2015, it was more or less the same. Shutting off America’s energy, as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed, without a viable replacement, would destroy us.
As Marc summed up before Congress:
“The Green New Deal has to be opposed, exposed and defeated. We must challenge the economics, ideology and science claims of this deal.”

The 2019 Unconstitutionality Index: 12 Federal Agency Rules for Every Law Congress Passes
• December 31, 2018
Even in an administration attempting to cut regulation, the number of rules from hundreds of federal agencies (nobody really knows exactly how many) will vastly outstrip the number of laws that Congress passes. That represents the triumph of the Administrative State over the Constitution, and this it even holds under President Trump.
The year 2018 and the 115th Congress have drawn to a close, so let’s look at Trump’s second calendar year.
The 116th Congress gets underway The 116th Congress gets underway January 3, 2019, in the wake of the Trump administration’s touting notable regulatory rollback achievements in a 2018 Regulatory Reform Status Report on the adminstration’s “one-in, two-out” goals for regulation. It’s available on the Unified Agenda web page, although it must be said that it becomes harder over time, for a president acting alone, to streamline anything. ..............As 2018 wound down, the Federal Register ended at 68,082 pages. Within those pages, agencies issued a total of 3,367 rules..........To Read More....

Democrats Offer Compromise on Deadlocked Pesticide Funding Bill
Posted Feb. 21, 2018
- Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act tied up in the Senate since last summer
- Democratic amendment would allow the legislation to be reauthorized in exchange for policy provisions
Four Democratic senators offered a compromise to move forward a stalled bill on funding the EPA’s pesticides office, but it’s unclear whether other lawmakers will agree to the offer.
Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Kamala Harris of California unveiled Feb. 21 an amendment to the the Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act of 2017 (H.R. 1029) that would reauthorize the legislation through 2023—three years longer than the bill currently proposes—in exchange for two commitments from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The senators want the EPA to uphold and implement the Obama administration’s rules to shield farmworkers from pesticide exposure, and to respond to objections filed to the agency’s decision not to restrict the agricultural insecticide chlorpyrifos, which has been linked to neurodevelopmental delays.........To Read More....
My Take - First - if these four loons are for anything - until more information becomes available - a rational person would wisely be against it. Secondly, when the word "linked" is used as a scientific term it means nothing. It's mere speculation and opinion, and an opinion that may not be widely shared in the scientific community. Linked in this context is known as a "weasel word"! Third, it would be wise to remember chemical manufacturers, as allies, are at best leaky vessels.
