What Happens When You Act On Global Warming

It means real poverty.: http://www.thegwpf.org/backout-britain-real-energy-scandal/ Relying on unreliable energy sources. Increased energy costs. Closed factories and businesses. People suffering energy poverty because they can't afford electricity. That is the price of following down the AGW path.

Re: Obama Admits Obamacare Unworkable.

So the law is not the law anymore? What's the point of passing something if you just ignore it's provisions when they become politically inexpedient. Sorry, Mr. President, but I don't think you get a pass on this one.
