House Democrats shield Gore from debate on warming (Updated)

Unbelievable.  They replaced Monckton’s opposing voice to Gore with retired Virginia Senator John Warner.  In other words – there will be no opposing voice. 

Not only is Warner among the miniscule group of Republicans that have actually bought into this nonsense – he actually cosponsored and was the sole GOP vote on last year’s failed cap-and-trade bill!!!  That’s how Democrats hold a balanced inquiry.

C-SPAN is airing the Gore love-fest right now [Video].  How great would it have been to watch Monckton have this “bed-wetter” for breakfast?

Imagine Monckton’s evisceration of Gore’s comparison of the cap-and-trade bill to the Civil Rights Act and even the Marshall Plan (I kid you not) and claims that the legislation will only increase household costs by 30 cents a day.  Can’t you envision the look on his Lordship’s face as Gore rambled on about consensus of the “global scientific community” and 20 foot sea-level rise and vanishing Arctic sea ice in just 5 years and comparing climate skeptics to moon-landing doubters?  And, more importantly, the eloquence of the tongue-lashing that most certainly would have followed?

Monckton would have once again made it clear that “the correct policy response to the non-problem of climate change is to have the courage to do nothing.”

John Warner, by contrast, is fawning over Gore like a love-sick school girl.  At one point he actually responded to a challenge to the efficacy of any plan that excludes developing nations by suggesting with a straight face that an EPA CO2 “pollutant” ruling will create enough global pressure on China and India to convince them to enact their own Carbon Policies.

Oh, brother!
