It seems that the Democrats want to pass new legislation and just like in the past they want to do it with out letting people hear both sides. The Democrats called the Global Warming Expert VP Al Gore. The Republicans called a Climate Expert from England to testify. VP Gore reportedly said that he would not testify if this other man was also going to testify. Democrats said the Republican expert could not testify. It seems that the VP who has never been willing to debate anyone on global warming or even appear where the opposing view is going to be discussed. He refused to discuss such things as computer projections when it is applied to going back 100 or 500 or 1000 years and brought forward to today. Why because the projections are so far off from what is happening that it is a joke. What are the Democrats afraid of the truth or that someone might ask VP Gore a tough question. They are so bent on taking total control of our lives that they will destroy the US Economy and the World Economy with it.

Just another Hearing that is a waste of time and money. Who ever said Gore was the "Expert" on Global Warming? That title for him is ludicrous. He is not a scientist, posses no degree on the subject, and has not invested years of intense study into that particular subject. The real reason he can't face a debate is because he knows absolutely nothing about it. He just became the leader of this strange bandwagon of people who are merely using his political power to put fear into everyone. This whole thing is ridiculous and another reason why I am not voting incumbent this coming election.

One of the issues they don't address is what happens when we plant more trees than were here before aren't we interfering with nature and causing global change. We will reduce the amount of CO2 and Increase O2. Some of the possible some f t he changes could include increase fires and reducedgrowth for the trees.

Let's make sure no one here's the truth. That seems to be the democrat mantra these days. DC has officially become the town of village idiots.

Hello Bobmnu, http://www.climatedepot.com/a/429/Report-Democrats-Refuse-to-Allow-Skeptic-to-Testify-Alongside-Gore-At-Congressional-Hearing Yeah, I just read about Gore chickening out. Only after Monckton flew all the way to the USA, his appearance gets cancelled. On the morning of the Congressional hearing??? How yellow-bellied, and downright disrespectful is that? Grrrr! Monckton would make Gore look like the deceptive, bumbling, knucklehead that he really is. So, in order to not embarass little Al, and to keep their fabulous wealth generating scheme (Cap & Trade) in the works, the members of Congress have decided to sacrifice you, me, and every other taxpayer. Anything to keep their future personal coffers full of ill-begotten, taxpayer monies! Swine, that's who's occupying Capitol Hill. As an aside: I am working with other T.E.A. Party organizers in my state to formulate a rapid-fire action committee to hammer home these kinds of egregious issues to our two Senators & three House Representatives. I would urge others to contact their state or local TEA organizers to add your email addresses to their action lists. When boneheads do what our Congress did to us and Monckton, we can inundate them with phone, fax, & email outrage -- if we're organized. Just a thought!

The Goreacle repeatedly refuses to be questioned or debated by scientists about global warming/climate change simply because he knows a real scientist would mop the floor with him. His propaganda has been thoroughly debunked and legally declared a work of fiction, and yet he persists in perpetrating his lies to the detriment of everyone. Here are some facts... http://www.netrightnation.com/index.php?view=article&catid=1:nrn-blog&id=717218:an-alarming-trend&tmpl=component&print=1&page=&option=com_content&Itemid=7 http://www.acuf.org/issues/issue130/090419gov.asp http://townhall.com/columnists/JillianBandes/2009/04/23/energy_bill,_energy_tax,_or_government_hand-out?page=full&comments=true#comments http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=95916 There is ample information for anyone interested enough to look for it. This is an economy and industry destroying idea... based on nothing more than a disproven theory... and it should be stopped at all costs.

Just another example of the non-partisan pretend bi-partisan approach of our current government. We'll listen to your input only if you have a solution to reach OUR (the Democrats) goal in an easier and less costly way, otherwise you may drop off your input, but it will land in the drawer or worse trash..

This is just another example of the pure one-sided hatred coming from the left. Sure, loving the planet enough to tax overweight people and driving coal companies out of business seems a good-natured gesture toward your Earth Mother, but the fact that "they" say it's the truth and no debate is allowed is not only hypocritical, it's criminal. The left hates any view opposing theirs, and instead of arguing or debating their point of view to convince people of its legitimacy, they simply silence the opposition. It's Miss USA on a grand scale that will affect more lives than it helps! Before laws are passed on global warming's behalf, it's imperative that global warming is PROVEN to be actually TRUE! The hypocrisy comes from the assumption that they're right. Global warming is like the left's religion. What would happen if conservatives started passing laws based on religion? "All Americans must pay a 40% God tax!" "You're mandated to attend church on Sundays!" And if you didn't subscribe to the "truth," you would be plastered in the mainstream media, called an ignorant fool and would be considered unfit to hold office. And even though you stood in opposition, those laws were passed anyway. Sinners are taxed more than do-gooders because they're tempting fate and testing God's fury. How ridiculous is that!? The left take their causes and run absolutely wild with them, making the rest of us suffer. Well, they call it the "necessary sacrifice." But, of course, the sacrifce comes from the regular, hard-working citizens of the US, not the elitists. The left (democrats/liberals/wing-tips) have been imposing their will on America since the beginning. The rest of us have simply tried to live; the left has attempted to mandate "how" we do so.
