There has been no global warming this century." In fact, experts reject the idea that recent temperatures mean that global warming is slowing or does not exist.

However, the study did not consider the effect of the government's distribution of revenue generated by a cap-and-trade system to lower-income households.

But that figure is based on a distortion of an MIT study, and a CBO analysis of a version of the bill passed by a House committee estimated that the net impact to households would be significantly lower.

But Kilmeade did not note that a CBO analysis of the bill found that "any aggregate change in unemployment would be small compared with the normal rate of job turnover in the economy."
