US CLIMATE BILL COLLAPSES - NO UK COVERAGE
Last Friday the US Senate's Climate Bill, which supporters thought vital to get the US to play its part in stopping the catastrophic warming we are all currently experiencing & opponents thought a $6.7 TRILLION piece of pork barreling paid for by kiting checks on the next generation, collapsed.
"Unless we have the technology to make a steep and quick emissions cut that the sponsors want, this bill will do nothing but add $6.7 trillion, a tax increase on American families and workers," says Rep. James Inhofe (R) of Oklahoma, the leading opponent of global-warming legislation
Despite almost every TV news & newspaper here seemingly carrying at least one article about global warming, or as it now spelled climate change, no mention of this great or catastrophic event (according to taste) appears in the British media.
