HOUSE HEARING ON 'WARMING OF THE PLANET' CANCELED AFTER ICE STORM
HEARING NOTICE
Tue Feb 13 2007 19:31:25 ET
The Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality hearing scheduled for Wednesday, February 14, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 Rayburn House Office Building has been postponed due to inclement [colder than normal, with record-setting snows across much of the country] weather. The hearing is entitled "Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?" [Gas emissions from this hearing certainly will.]
The hearing will be rescheduled to a date and time to be announced later. [How about 20-30 years from now with a re-showing of An Inconvenient Truth? By then AIT will no doubt be a campy classic-cult film along the lines of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.]
Warming advocates are quick to cite projected death statistics from hot weather in Europe. What should not to be lost here is the fact that cold weather is the direct cause of many more deaths than hot weather. Even if the planet is gradually warming, there is a reasonable case to be made that the results (more temperate weather, more available farmland, improved crop yields, etc.) will actually be more beneficial than harmful for humans.
