Other countries like India and China are following the same trail. If we believe the scientific conclusions that global warming is on the brink of destroying our civilization, then we are forced to do something about it including help others find solutions. That of course presumes that we are moral people and are willing to make sacrifices that cause us only a small part of the pain we otherwise would be bestowing on our children. Absent the argument for climate change being caused by man's use of carbon producing run away global warming there is no reason to back this bill. One more thing to think about. The blood shed to build America was given for future generations. Think of the suffering of America's brave soldiers who fought and died in our wars. What peace would they have if they knew before they died that the country they tried to save would finally be delivered to its destruction by the selfish greed of the very people they died for.

These increased costs will be directly passed on to consumers, at a time when we can ill afford it. Add that to the lost jobs and there is no denying that this legislation will hurt Americans. Write your legislators at http://tiny.cc/08jiT and let them know that you do not support this bill that will have such a negative impact on the American people.
