PERRY IN - EPA OUT; There's no downside ...

Perry for President.


The climate skeptics can finally get excited about the 2012 election: Rick Perry, their candidate of choice, is about to officially throw his hat in the ring.

Perry calls global warming "all one contrived phony mess that is falling apart under its own weight." Unlike many of the other GOP presidential candidates, he hasn't expressed concern about climate change in the past, so he won't have to do any back-pedaling. [GRIST - a Beacon in the Smog]



Lisa Hymas of "Grist," the Guardian's Enviro-wacko network does warn  that
plugging your ears and going "la la la la" doesn't make global warming disappear. Perry's state is getting absolutely hammered by heat and the worst one-year drought in its recorded history.
Here's the thing about that, a thing I did not know.  Quoting Ms. Hymas.
Perry served as Al Gore's Texas campaign chair in the 1988 presidential race, just before switching his party allegiance from Democrat to Republican, but conservatives don't have to worry that Perry holds any residual affection for the former veep. "I've heard Al Gore talk about man-made global warming so much that I'm starting to think that his mouth is the leading source of all that supposedly deadly carbon dioxide," Perry said in 2007.

Jayzuz H Cripes! 
Lisa, you ignorant slut.  AGW  Anthropogenic global warming ( man-made global warming!).  Get it?  Yes Earth  is undergoing climate change and has been 24/7 for 3½ billion years.  Man does not, and can not cause significant and lasting climate change.  We are piss-ants.  You've been played like a banjo by climate change charlatans>  That they are liars, crooks and carpet baggers has been proved.  As Algore is wont to say - that debate is over.

But that's not what this is about.  Politicians who jumped on the AGW bandwagon are, must-be, stupid or cynical or both.  Perry is neither.  Point: Perry.  But screw that.  It's another negative issue. If all the global warmists in the country drank Kool-Aid today, it wouldn't help the economy,  This will
Perry also prays for a rollback of EPA regulations: "Frankly I pray for the president every day," he recently told CBN News. "I pray for his wisdom. I pray that God will open his eyes. I wish this president would turn back the health-care law that's been passed, ask that his EPA back down all these regulations that are causing businesses to hesitate to spend money."

But Perry's efforts to hog-tie the EPA haven't stopped at prayer. Last year, his administration filed suit against the EPA to block the agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The suit centered on claims that the so-called "Climategate" emails undermined climate science, though the whole Climategate faux-scandal has been thoroughly debunked.

Perry has also fought the EPA in defense of his state's "flexible" air-pollution permits for oil and chemical refineries. And last month, Perry lashed out against an EPA rule that calls for reducing power-plant emissions that drift across state lines, calling it "another example of heavy-handed and misguided action from Washington, D.C., that threatens Texas jobs and families."

That boys and girls will  get us rolling again.  Without lifting all EPA and other impediments to using all our resources, we are toast.  Perry for President.

I think Ms. Hymas has popped.

I read somewhere (sorry no link this time) that this is the 2nd longest over 100 degree stretch in Texas history. Haven't heard when the longest was. I'd like to know. Was it in the 30's? These AGW propagandists are just too easy.

It's too early to tell if Perry will win, but if I was an opponent I'd remember that Perry is football oriented as opposed to Bush's baseball. In Texas High School football if you break the rules payback can be immediate and brutal and done regardless of penalty. Those who slime Perry or his or who don't play by what Perry considers the "rules" had better hope he doesn't win or they'll end up with cleat marks on their tongues first chance he gits.

The longest streak of 100 plus days in DFW was summer 1980. We fell two days short of the streak.

Didnt think you could apply a "global" model to area as small as Texas and claim reasons for high heat. Why not a county or a city? Why not the area below my pockets?

Perry, the descendant of Confederate soldiers, on both sides, is just the guy to slay the federal dragon. I'm all in for Rick.

1980 was the summer of the killer heat wave. Something like 300 people died in Texas, at least to my recollection. I was at OCS in Quantico, VA, and the father of one of the fellows in the platoon died of heat exhaustion. He got to go to the funeral.

It figures. The original Carter was President then. There's probably a connection there, somewhere. Bright spot on the horizon - the election that fall.
