Most Hot Air comes from politicians
King County Executive Ron Sims plans to introduce legislation that would allow the county to reject or modify development projects because of their effect on global warming.
If the proposal is passed by the Metropolitan King County Council, county land-use officials believe King County would be the first jurisdiction in the nation to take that step.
Sims, who has made climate change a top issue during his third term, said Wednesday he will introduce legislation in May that would consider greenhouse-gas emissions as part of the environmental-review process.
King County already requires developers to answer questions about their projects’ likely effects on climate, but approval of the projects doesn’t depend on those answers.
Who will profit? The carbon offset racket, of course!
Read the rest at Michelle Malkin … the goal of all this is to force a socialist (communist) agenda on us peasants.
I think it may be time for all of us peasants to unite and unseat the elite.

Well, and you know that passing gas contributes to the greenhouse effect, so I’m sorry guys, you’re gonna have to put a plug in it. There will be huge fines to pay for farting in public!
Something to consider, the global warming issue is not new… I’m telling my age here. Back in 1970 I read an article in Scientific American about how cow flatulance was a primary soure of greenhouse gases. The proposal was to build cattle garages, like parking garages with floors of stacked grazing pastures and a gas recovery system for the cow poots.
