If Bill Doesn’t Pass, The Heat’ll Kill You Says AP

The Associated Press has evidently taken a vacation this week and simply printed a press release from The Union of Concerned Scientists about the dangers of Global Warming they say will occur if the Waxman-Markey Climate Change and Cap and Trade Bill is not passed. The Concerned Scientists list all of the adverse events that could occur if temperatures rise up to 12 degrees hotter in Minnesota.  Missing from the AP’s account (which just happens to coincide with a heat wave in Minnesota) is an actual discussion of whether Global Warming is actually happening, if it is part of larger natural cycles or is in fact caused by human activity.  For that (and more), you would need to go and read the Non-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change Report.  Also left unmentioned is whether you are more likely to die of heat exposure or to be taxed to death by some of the Climate Change Proposals.
