The U.S. Senate has taken up the matter of global warming. I can think of at least 50 other more pressing issues facing this country.

If you're in the majority of Americans who have not seen Al Gore's climate change fantasy, "An Inconvenient Truth," consider yourself lucky.

Unfortunately, the global warming propaganda has reached many members of the Senate, which is considering legislation that will directly impact the pocketbook of Pennsylvania families already struggling to pay for basic needs like food and gasoline.

Higher taxes, lost jobs and skyrocketing utility costs await you if the global warming fanatics get their way.

Check out this post, "How Pennsylvania Will Be Affected by the Lieberman-Warner Global Climate Change Legislation," at The Heritage Foundation Web site, to see how much more you will end up paying if the Senate continues to fall for the Al Gore-inspired climate change nonsense.

From The Heritage Foundation:

The Lieberman–Warner legislation promises extraordinary perils for the American economy, should it become law, all for very little change in global temperature … perhaps even smaller than the .07 of a degree Celsius drop in temperature that many scientists expected from worldwide compliance with the Kyoto climate change accords. S. 2191 imposes strict upper limits on the emission of six greenhouse gases (GHG) with the primary emphasis on carbon dioxide (CO2). The mechanism for capping these emissions requires emitters to acquire federally created permits (called allowances) for each ton emitted.

Contact Sen. Arlen Specter and Sen. Bob Casey and urge them to vote against the Lieberman–Warner bill.
