Congressional Democrats' Christmas gift for U.S. automakers.

Detroit

Representative John Dingell, the powerful Michigan Democrat, prevented fellow Democrats from slaughtering Detroit auto companies during the recent battle in Congress over the energy bill. But this may be Dingell's--and the Big Three's--last stand as the green revolution overtakes the proletarian revolution among the priorities of the Democratic party . . .

But will this sacrifice curb climate change? Not really. John Christy, University of Alabama climatologist, maintains that even if the entire world adopted a fuel efficiency standard of 45 mpg, "the net effect would reduce projected warming by about 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100."

John Dingell bought time for U.S. automakers endangered by the quixotic crusades of climate warriors--but he won't live forever . . .

Of course not. Oceans and volcanoes contribute 60 times as much "greenhouse gasses" (hydrochloroflourocarbons) EACH DAY, as all of human activity contributes in ONE YEAR.

Oceans and volcanoes are bigger climate change sinners than the United States?

Then what are the proper claims? Because as a non-scientist, not having studied this, I wouldn't know offhand.

I'm not sure how it is right now, but for a while, Mt. St. Helens was the worst polluter in the state.

How does that work?

As UAW workers vote for and give money to those who made it much more difficult for me to make a living, bad news for Detroit is good news for me. Fine with me if we import cars from Bangladesh. At least those who make them won't be voting for Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Hillary Clinton and Barrick Obama.
