Brits Warn Americans of Green Catastrophe

Obama’s duplicity is renowned. Obama’s long-hyped “shovel ready jobs” to rebuild America’s infrastructure turned out to be a joke that elicited an on-camera chuckle from Obama. Obama’s latest ploy is to play “nice Boehner vs. bad Republicans,” as if John Boehner is a doofus. After publicly sweet talking Speaker Boehner for “doing his best,” he derides Boehner’s Republican caucus for adhering to the will of a 76% majority of Americans who do not want the debt ceiling raised. Obama ignores voters’ demands for major spending cuts – especially on bloated agencies like the EPA, DOE and endless other government bureaucracies with costly overlapping functions. Obama talks “jobs” while implementing socialist policies that undercut job creation and damage people of all ages and color. Obama prefers to call taxes “revenue.” He condescends, hoping Americans “don’t get” that in order to stimulate job growth, incentives through less taxes must be given to job creators. With all of his save America talk, Obama is quietly and quickly implementing policies that are catastrophic to this nation.

In a stealth move to by-pass Congress, President Obama is resurrecting his Cap-and-Trade “green” agenda through harsh EPA regulations and fines that are budget-busting for homes and businesses. Keenly aware of this egregious power grab and political corruption, Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is calling for the dissolution of the EPA. Heed the British warning.

An ocean apart, Obama is hoping that the “green” devastation being faced by the British will escape notice. As Barack Obama makes claims of a better life and future for Americans, his administration is surreptitiously mounting mountains of regulations via executive order and the EPA that will kill jobs, crush the economy and impose fines on families failing to comply. As Obama presses hard-and-fast for his socialist, global-warming “green” initiatives to be forced on Americans, the Brits are bailing. Their economy is being savaged by their “politically correct” green policies based on fraudulent science. Brits are already making the choice between food or fuel as U.K. families face “fuel poverty.” The Brits are now speaking out and rebelling:

Bringing in a carbon “tax” will push thousands more families into fuel poverty without reducing emissions, a think tank has claimed. Express and Star, 28 June 2011 (emp. added)

The public backlash against wind farms is the inevitable and inexorable consequence of a costly, unpopular and completely pointless policy that is butchering Britain’s green and pleasant landscape without having any effect on the climate… By opposing wind farms, a growing number of neighbourhoods and communities are protecting both their local environments and their purses from blind exploitation –Benny Peiser, President of The Global Warming Policy Foundation, Daily Mail, 11 July 2011 (emp. added)

(What happens when the wind calms down?) “We will thus be landed in the ludicrous position of having to spend an additional £10 billion on those 17 dedicated power stations, which will be kept running on "spinning reserve,” 24 hours a day, just to make up for the fundamental problem of wind turbines. I’m afraid we are in the hands of very dangerous children, upon whose deranged wishful thinking a large part of our country’s future depends.“ –Christopher Booker, The Sunday Telegraph, 3 July 2011

The fact is that these green taxes, part of David Cameron’s politically-correct promise to lead the ‘greenest government ever,’ are imposing a punishing burden on families and businesses struggling to cope with tough economic times. For all our sakes, ministers must drop their dogma about climate change – the science of which remains shrouded in doubt – and, wherever possible, give the country a break from green taxation. –Editorial, The Daily Mail, 7 July 2011 (emp. added)

Many of the climate levies on our bills are regressive taxes. They are not reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is a scam – it just transfers emissions from Britain to China and India where they don’t have to follow the same pollution laws… –Labour MP Graham Stringer, 9 July 2011 (emp. added)

When promoting his "green” agenda, one cannot forget Obama’s heartless comment that coal companies will just “have to go bankrupt,” without regard to the desperate poverty that would be thrust upon our nation’s coal mining families or Obama’s dispassionate disconnect from all Americans as he blithely commented that every American family’s energy bill will necessarily “skyrocket.” Clearly, Barack Obama understands the impact of “fuel poverty.” Ignoring the warning from the British reveals Obama’s complicity in the “green” global fraud of global warming and climate-change that will devastate America’s treasury and economy. Unless Congress defunds or dismantles Obama’s onerous EPA regulations, fuel poverty will be a reality for Americans.
