The White House issues annual report on effects of Climate Change. Yesterday the White House released a study compiling the current effects of Climate Change in the United States. Among some of the effects are heavier down pours in the Midwest and East, more intense heat waves in the Northeast, changing migration patterns of butterflies in the West and melting snow packs. The effects are expected to worsen in coming years, affecting coastlines, forests, farms, floodplains, water and energy supplies and transportation. The climate of New Hampshire will resemble North Carolina's and Illinois' that of Texas.

The report was compiled by 13 Federal Agencies and the White House. Under a 1990 law the report is required every 10 years. The impacts predicted are not much different than those reported in the 2000 study. Cited were more powerful tropical storms and coastal erosion caused by the melting ice caps. Also cited were more droughts in the Southwest. Smaller mountain snow packs affecting water supplies across the West and Northwest, and also the region’s hydro electric generation and impacts on fish spawning.

As Congress acts to enact a Climate Change bill, China is mandating its top 1,000 energy users to buy pollution permits for carbon to enforce legally State binding carbon reductions. This is a major step forward United States Republican and Moderate Coal and Oil State Democrats from both parties must heed today. China is not only investing more in Clean Coal Technology, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, Tidal, Bio-Mass and Hydro it is enforcing a central command and control one size fits the Big Boys Open Free Market Western Reagan style economic stimulus to cut carbon by trading it on the major World wide stock exchanges of the Hangsen, Footsie and the like.

China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia have all enacted binding State sanctioned Cap and Trade Carbon Trading programs while the United States questions Civil and Human Rights of its citizens. Failure of the United States to enact State Binding Carbon cuts and a 20% Renewable Energy Power Source supply for Utilities and Transportation by 2020 like China did in July 2010 means the United States can not ask China for Free Press, Free Speech and Free Civil Liberties.

The United States should lead by example and pave the way for developing countries to participate. Failure by the Senate to enact meaningful binding State sanctioned Carbon Cuts for the Mexico Protocol in November and December 2010 will send the wrong message to China, Brazil, India, Indonesia and South Africa. The United States has been hiding behind the developing nation’s unwillingness to participate as a reason to do nothing in the United States.

The better result is to impose trade sanctions on nations that do not participate in binding non-international state only sanctioned carbon cuts. We as a village will worry about auditing, enforcement and accounting down the road, the forum needs a framework before it can have Police Power.
