For the greater glory of Mammon...

Today's buffoon, Sen. Richard Nass (R-District 2), has cosponsored a lot of the bills already mentioned (including LD's 147, 150, and 436, links below). He also cosponsored LD 72, with its Orwellian title "An Act to Promote Sound Science in Climate Change Policy" Here, however, is an excerpt from the summary:

"...the department [of Environmental Protection] must issue an estimate of the amount of
global warming that will be prevented and the costs that will
result from the rules requiring reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions.
"

So that if the department tried to adopt global warming regulations, it would be required to issue a report that the big business interests can use as ammunition, all for the greater glory of Mammon. Fortunately, the bill appears to have died in committee.
