Rep. Waxman is the one who denies science. US CO2 has dropped steadily and is going lower. His multi-trillion dollar climate terror industry faces bankruptcy because US CO2 is no longer the demon. And we did it without Waxman's mandates. People are starving in Waxman's own state but all he cares about are his banker pals trading 'carbon.' The entire CO2 terror gravy train is facing bankruptcy.

8/23/12, "Climate Change SOS: Climate Change and Congress," Daily Kos, Rep. Henry Waxman
"In this week’s New York Times, Dr. Paul Blumenthal, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, said this about Representative Akin’s outrageous comments about legitimate rape and a woman’s mythical ability to block pregnancies: “What is very disturbing to me is that people like Mr. Akin who have postulated this secret mechanism for avoiding pregnancy have developed their own make-believe world of science based on entirely self-serving beliefs of convenience or just ignorance.”
Dr. Blumenthal has this exactly right and, unfortunately, the center of power within the Republican Party seems to be on a determined path to phony science. And it isn’t just limited to women’s health: it extends to many other issues, especially climate change.
The simple fact is that our planet is getting warmer. Dr. James Hansen first warned of this in 1988. In the years since, study after study has reaffirmed his initial findings. And in those same years, the official position of the Republican Party has shifted to denying that global climate change is real.
Scientists have found that climate change has loaded the weather dice, so extreme conditions – such as hotter temperatures, droughts, and heavy precipitation—all are becoming more likely.
Americans across the nation are starting to suffer the effects. From heat waves to drought, from epic floods to raging forest fires, from failed crops to rising seas and eroding coastlines, this is what climate change looks like.
If we want to give our children the same opportunities we’ve had, there is no other choice. We must respond to the challenge of climate change by reducing carbon pollution to slow further warming and by adapting to the warming that is already locked in.
Responding to climate change is not just a technical and economic challenge. It is also a political challenge."...via Tom Nelson

"Not only that, but as my top chart shows, US CO2 emissions are falling even faster than what President Obama pledged in the global Copenhagen Accord."...
==============================
US CO2 has dropped since at least 2006 and is going lower. Unfortunately Rep. Waxman denies climate science and other facts and demands 'action' against CO2. Massive global warming 'action' was institutionalized in US government in 1990 by George Bush the 1st in the "U.S. Global Change Research Act of 1990." (He mentions CO2 near the end). Devoting 13 federal agencies to 'climate' matters and paying half of UN IPCC expenses is hardly lagging in action! Even the US military now spends billions on green endeavors. Government has partnered with the 'climate' industry by funneling trillions from US taxpayers to climate endeavors via agency budget allocations, tax subsidies, countless federal regulations, and vast sums given in foreign aid to save the 'climate.' The US economy has obediently weakened itself so it's now a fuel exporter.
People are starving in Mr. Waxman's home state because the rich are cashing in on fake CO2 danger climate 'action.'
Other countries' CO2 hasn't dropped, despite hundreds of billions spent on cap and trade and extra taxes. US CO2 is now a moot issue. Perhaps this situation adversely affects persons with 'climate' investments. Perhaps US CO2 vanished more quickly and surely than 'investors' anticipated. (Assuming CO2 was ever a danger to begin with).
Rep. Waxman, it's over.
Persons who continue to sell US CO2 terror are either ignorant, fraudulent, or have emotional problems. The rest of us care very much about our environment and will continue our stewardship without allowing our country to be hijacked by 'green' profiteers.

According to the Energy Department, carbon dioxide emissions peaked in this country in 2005 and will not reach that level again until the early 2020s."...

"In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.
Many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, said the shift away from coal is reason for "cautious optimism" about potential ways to deal with climate change."...---------------------------------------

"Even factoring in a stronger economy, forecasters see greenhouse gas emissions continuing to fall....Others take the U.S. success in reducing its energy sector emissions as a sign that its fragmented, state-based, regulatory approach has worked better than Europe's market-based cap-and-trade approach."

The figure, from a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS), shows that despite another year of $1 trillion deficits, the Obama administration continues to pursue its policy of using foreign aid funds for anti-global warming measures – known as the Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI).According to CRS, the government has spent a total of $2.5 billion on GCCI since 2010 on overseas anti-global warming efforts in Latin America, Asia, and Africa."...

for the first time in 62 years.
A combination of booming demand from emerging markets and faltering domestic activity means the U.S. is exporting more fuel than it imports,
- upending the historical norm.
According to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Tuesday, the U.S. sent abroad 753.4 million barrels of everything from gasoline to jet fuel in the first nine months of this year, while it imported 689.4 million barrels."...

"But there is one group (other than the Russians and the Gulf Arabs and the Iranians) that isn’t sharing in the general joy: the greens. For them, the spectacle of a looming world energy crisis was good news. It justified huge subsidies for solar and wind power (and thereby guaranteed huge fortunes for clever green-oriented investors). ...But those glory days are over now, and the smarter environmentalists are bowing to the inevitable."...
