Thank you, Governor Youngkin, for withdrawing us from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative that would have cost Virginians more than $500 million in just two years.  

This initiative would ruin the lives of Virginians.  It's costly, ineffective and it's a false narrative.   Patrick Moore, among many scientists, say there is zero correlation between CO2 and rising temperatures.  Dr. Judith Curry states that reducing CO2 emissions to alter Earth's temperature is pointless.  Other scientists are Freeman Dyson, Nobel prize physicist; Bill Kininmonth, meteorologist, retired head of National climate Center, AUS; Ivar Giaever, Nobel prize physicist; Jack Schmitt, astronaut, moonwalker geologist, Franco Prodi, Prof. Atmospheric sciences & climate, Gianluca Alimonte, particle physicist, Bjorn Lomborg, director Danish Environmental Assessment Institute; Will Happen, atomic physicist, former director US Dept of Energy, Ian Palmer, Prof. geology University of Melbourne; Richard Linden, Prof. Atmospheric physics; Renato Angelo Ricci, Prof. of physics, INFN, Milan, Susan Crockford, zoologist; Michael Shellenberg, author, Time Magazine Hero of the Environment.  The carbon footprint is a scam.  It's bad economic and bad environmental policies.  This is going to drive up prices on everything, and people will lose their jobs and go further in debt!  And the rich will continue to fly their planes and pollute by offsets.  Read the article "1,100 eminent Scientists declare 'There is NO Climate Emergency" by Clintel Group.  Look at fraud Al Gore.  Read the Article "Al Gore's Climate Change Hypocrisy Is As Big As His Energy-Sucking Mansion."  Also read "Blood and Gore:  Making a Killing on Anti-Carbon Investment Hype."   This greenwashing ESG is also a scam.   Copied from Peter Clack on Twitter, "Carbon dioxide has had no role in setting long-term climate, weather or seasons & never will.  The UN climate scam is a globalists grab for power/control & more money for them.  If CO2 rose tenfold, it would only lead to a better, moister, greener world for all life to flourish."  

Congressman Thomas Massie debated John Kerry (see Twitter) on climate change.  It's 406 today.  Since mammals walked the planet, the average has been over 1,000 parts p/ million."  Kerry is shown the fool that he is suggesting geology stopped since we got on the planet.  

According to Randall Carson, a highly accredited scientist, states, "The climate right now is no warmer than it's been many times throughout history.  Our baseline is now the lowest that carbon dioxide has been in 600 million years.  As far as temperature change - the IPCC's first report of 1992 showed that the medieval warm peered [which lasted from c 950 - c 1250] was warmer than the present.  Well, this didn't fit the narrative.  So by the time the 1996 report came out, it was a completely contrived graph called the hockey stick.  So what they did was they got rid of the medieval warm period and the little ice age. And so they flattened out the graph and then added instrumental record on the end that looks like it's going way up.  The point is that the people that are calling them out on it are not getting the media coverage.  Look, at this point there's billions of dollars going into the whole climate change narrative."  Remember they were calling it "global warming," and people were like, "Wait, this doesn't feel like global warming ...." so they changed it to "climate change."  

There is no empirical evidence to support this fear-mongering scam.  

This of this: If the developed countries did this - to its own destruction, which wouldn't make a dent in carbon reduction while the elite continue to live as they do and the developing world will do nothing.  It's a complete scam and not even possible.  

It's unconstitutional and lazy for Virginia Democrat lawyers to have given their legislative obligations to other legislators in the radical leftist policies of California.
