Are you a victim of Global Warming or Climate Change?

from JoeUser Forums

Have you suffered at the hands of the evil Global Warming or Climate Change phenomenon? Did you end up in the hospital due to a record breaking heat wave and maybe have lost your job or pay? Did the unusual winter storms damage any of your property or kept you from doing work that cost you customers and money?

Well worry no more. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat, and Rep. Edward J. Markey, Massachusetts Democrat are here to help. They will make sure you get what you deserve from the Gov't for your loses because, after all, it's the Gov't fault that day you got sick was 1 or 2 degrees hotter than last year and you were not expecting that and that unusual strong winter storm came out of no where and it's not your fault you were not prepared.

The measure sets grounds for anyone "who has suffered, or reasonably expects to suffer, a harm attributable, in whole or in part," to government inaction to file a "citizen suit." The term "harm" is broadly defined as "any effect of air pollution (including climate change), currently occurring or at risk of occurring." Link

Basically, if you can prove it, you can sue the Gov't for harm done or harm that could be done (huh?) due to the Gov't not taking action to avoid a phenomenon possibly created by climate change. OK, so if a hurricane roles thru Florida just a few days before or after hurricane season (something that has happened before) and somehow climate change could be attributed to this "out of season" storm considering scientist can not prove or disprove the possibility that climate change is responsible for it and that man is responsible for the climate change and the storm causes major damage to several homes; people could place a lawsuit against the Gov't to pay for the demages because somehow the Gov't did not do enough to stop this hurricane from forming? Am I understanding this correctly?

Lord oh mighty, the lawsuits will have no end, frivilous lawsuits will be a dime a dozen and the odds of sorting them out from the legit (if they could really be legit) ones will be slim and cost more than the lawsuits themselves.

Are we not already spending to much money in the Govt and complaining about that someone would consider a bill that will simply put more money from tax payers in the hands of anyone who sues the Gov't and wins? Frivilous or not? You can't possibly believe this is an idea worth considering? If so, please give a real good reason why you would believe the Gov't to be responsible for any "harm" done to any person who suffered from a disaster that could or could not be related to Global Warming or Climate Change that the Gov't could not "possibly" have stopped or avoided from happening. Talk about another welfare program except in this one lawyers benefit as well.

Liberals want to see the nation go down the tubes. It is a smart move as a trap for future republican presidents. it will take years for the suits to work their way through the systems and will bankrupt the nation jsut as the CRA did when President Carter put it into play.

I can understand the Democrats looking for ways to give free money away (which is not really free but some people dont get that) to have a voting base they can control. But I don't understand that comment you made that I have heard so many others say before about how the Democrats want to bankrupt the nation. Why? Wouldn't that sorta go against what they want? How can they keep people voting for them if there is no money to give away, and for that matter this country would end up like a Third World Country and would anyone, including Democrats, want that? I may not like Democratic polices, but I find it hard to believe this is what they want as oppose to just not being smart enough to see the long term damage they could cause the country with these policies. Why would any American want to bankrupt and destroy this country and why are there so mnay willing to vote for this person?

While this may currently a "liberal" action, this just adds to the ever-continuing list of how neither side actually cares about the American people.  Each side is full of kindergarten children in adult bodies who have no idea how to sacrifice, or think beyond themselves.

We'll all be soon enough, if the Goredian zealots get their way.

Figure of speech and all that.

 

You know in some respects I'm not surprised that people are trying to do this...if there's a way to make money, people will find it.  Hell, they sue other people for their own mistakes...*sigh*

Hey can I get one too? What do I have to default on to qualify for a slice of the giant Obama pork pie? My $13 tax relief just isn't cutting it. :grin:

I'm remarking to a higher power that people are indeed very stupid as to sue for the government for something like this.
