RUSH: Let\u2019s see. Yeah, here\u2019s another one. Get this. What is this from? It\u2019s the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It\u2019s their website, Cleveland.com. Here\u2019s the headline: ‘Tree Owners Could Reap Climate Bill Windfall — For years, landowners have gotten paid for not farming. Now they may get paid for not cutting down trees. While US families could see their annual energy bills rise hundreds of dollars under a massive climate bill that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are trying to push through the House, owners of large swaths of forestland — timber companies, large farms, even foreign countries — could reap billions of dollars. The bill is aimed at curbing the gases, largely carbon dioxide from power plants and vehicles, blamed for global warming.\u2019 I\u2019m getting to the bursting point on this. There isn\u2019t any global warming! Since 2001 temperatures have flat-lined. There isn\u2019t any global warming! <\/p>\n

Anyway, the new bill ‘would allow polluters to buy credits from owners of forestland as an alternative to switching to fuels other than coal and gas or installing expensive equipment to capture the greenhouse gases. The land owners would get the credits because trees suck up greenhouse gases, preventing them from reaching the atmosphere and acting like a blanket to warm the Earth.\u2019 This is already a hoax going on out there. Arnold Schwarzenegger flies back and forth from LA to Sacramento every day in his own jet to work, and they say, ‘What about your carbon footprint?\u2019 (Arnold impression) ‘No! No carbon footprint. I am planting trees,\u2019 or he\u2019s giving money to companies that say they\u2019re planting trees. This is so absurd. (sigh) I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m just losing patience every day with the insult to my intelligence. <\/p>\n

It insults me to have to spend time on this rotgut so people who own forests, if they don\u2019t cut down the trees they\u2019re going to reap a windfall because their trees are going to soak up all the carbon dioxide that\u2019s not causing global warming. ”In effect, the public is going to pay polluters to plant trees,\u2019 says Frank O\u2019Donnell of the advocacy group Clean Air Watch. ‘Does that really lead to a major improvement in global warming? I don\u2019t know and I\u2019m not sure anybody knows.” He\u2019s exactly right. It\u2019s called water vapor, folks. Do you know the number-one source of carbon dioxide greenhouse gasses is water vapor? It\u2019s something like 94%, 95%. Water vapor! Now, I don\u2019t think anybody in this bill has figured out a way to drain the oceans. If there is a way to drain the oceans I don\u2019t know where the drain is. Where do you pull the plug to drain the oceans? (sigh) Some days. Some days. Some days. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a friend, folks — funny little note here — I have a friend who owns one of those Maybachs. These are the Mercedes version of the Rolls-Royce line. He\u2019s six-six, weighs 270 pounds, so he likes a big car. It probably gets two miles to the gallon in the city and eight on the highway. I\u2019m exaggerating there. It\u2019s like 10 and 18 or some such thing. I don\u2019t know what it is. Anyway, he said that if he\u2019s forced out of his Maybach and he has to go buy one of the bubble cars, it\u2019s going to take two, one for each foot, because he simply will not be able to fit in one of these new Obamamobiles. Either that — (interruption) who is losing money? The Tata? The Tata, the Indian car from the country of India, the Tata? I have not heard of the Tata motorcar. I did see where the Obama people are going to fund this Tesla. I had that yesterday, $400 million bail them out or do something, Tesla. I don\u2019t even know what the Tesla is. <\/p>\n

All right, look, folks, a couple things here. I referenced this earlier, and I want to share the data with you here from the exact source. This is Cybercast News Service: ‘The stimulus law enacted in February promoted the purchase of plug-in electric cars by the federal government and the broader market, but a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released this month says that the use of plug-in electric vehicles will not by itself decrease greenhouse gas emissions. To do that, the report argues, the United States would have to switch from coal-burning plants to lower-emission sources to generate electricity such as nuclear power.\u2019 The putt-putt little electrical cars will do nothing to help emissions. I don\u2019t want to hurt the feelings of any of you people driving hybrids out there, but if you\u2019re driving a hybrid to save the planet you have been snookered. If you drive it because you like it and you want it and you think you get better gas mileage, fine and dandy, no complaints. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
