The plan to impose a carbon tax on American citizens may be dead at least for the time being after Republican Senator Lindsey Graham shockingly reversed his views on climate change, telling a press conference that the science behind man-made global warming is in question and those pushing it are alarmists who have oversold the problem.
計劃去對美國公民徵收一項碳稅至少在目前可能已經胎死腹中，在共和黨參議員格雷厄姆震驚地轉舦他的氣候變化看法後，在記者招待會上說，人為全球變暖背後的科學是有疑問，和那些推動它的是危言聳聽者，他們已超賣那問題。
South Carolina Republican Graham told reporters that he would vote against the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill he helped author as a consequence of his reversal, meaning the package will fall short of the votes it needs to obtain passage, according to a Senate aide.
南卡羅來納州共和黨格雷厄姆告訴記者，他將投票反對他有份幫忙發起的克里-利伯曼氣候法案，作為一個他轉舦的後果，意味著建議將會票數不足以獲得通過，根據參議院的助手。
In an October 2009 New York Times op-ed co-authored with Sen. John Kerry, Graham argued, that “climate change is real and threatens our economy and national security.”
在2009年10月紐約時報社論版，與參議員克里共同撰寫，格雷厄姆爭論：“氣候變化是真實的，並威脅到我們的經濟和國家安全。”
However, following the evisceration of trust in promoters of man-made global warming in the aftermath of the Climategate scandal, Graham has now sensationally reversed his position, stating, “The science about global warming has changed. I think they’ve oversold this stuff, quite frankly. I think they’ve been alarmist and the science is in question,” adding, “The whole movement has taken a giant step backward.”
但是隨著在氣候門醜聞的餘波中，對人為全球變暖發起人的信任剜除，格雷厄姆現在已經感性地改變他的立場，申明：“關於全球變暖的科學已經改變，坦率地說，我認為他們已經超賣了這東西。我想他們已經是危言聳聽者和科學在疑問中，"並補充："整個運動已向後退了一大步。“
Answering a follow up question, Graham noted that, “The public acceptance about global warming has changed,” possibly referring to polls which now indicate that the majority of Americans do not believe in the reality of man-made climate change.
在回答跟進問題時，格雷厄姆指出，“公眾對全球變暖的接受已經改變，”可能是指向民意調查它們現在指出，大多數美國人不相信人造氣候變化的現實。
Insiders say that Graham’s reversal all but kills the cap and trade provision that was contained in the Kerry-Lieberman bill
“I just can’t see where we’d get 60 votes for a comprehensive energy bill with a cap on carbon at this point,” the aide to a senator on the Environment and Public Works Committee, who is closely involved with the issue, told Raw Story.
However, the elite are still desperate to impose a consumption tax on Americans as part of the move towards a “post-industrial revolution” and the kind of nightmare “green economy” that has left Spain with a 20 per cent unemployment rate. In a so-called green economy, over 2.2 jobs are lost for every “green job” created.
The Senate is expected to try and push a watered down bill with the hope of moving towards a carbon tax later on.
“If we passed a bill that has a good renewable energy standard, has strong building codes, invests in efficiency and raises fuel economy, we’re on the path to lowering emissions, and it makes it easier to pass cap and trade later,” argued the aide, who requested anonymity.
As we previously reported, Graham withdrew his support for both the Democrat’s pro-amnesty immigration bill and cap and trade legislation just a week after ALIPAC Chairman Gheen gave a speech in which he demanded that Graham come clean on the fact that he was being blackmailed over his homosexuality.
Graham’s support for legislation that was highly unpopular amongst his own constituents strongly suggested that he was being strong-armed into toeing the line on policies being pushed by the Washington establishment.
Now that Gheen’s allegations are out in the open, Graham may feel that the heat is off and he can abandon his endorsement of unpopular legislation and concentrate on trying to keep his Senate seat.
