Crazy Rich Writes

An Inconvenient Truth” is on the science channel .. 764 Cox watch it and let me know if the “left” made it up…if you have gonads

Rich, you are wonderful but crazy.  I don't know what parts were made up!  I watched the movie a long time ago and yes it seems like there is more carbon in the air.
 
OK, now you started this so, and try really hard to stay focused, answer these babies.
 
How come it is not getting warmer?  Honestly, it is a big part of this,,,you know...global warming, to get...warmer and apparently it is not.
 
OK, so you say, hey it might...OK, you got some concerns and while I think they are wrong (but...see, and pay attention here...I am willing to look at the subject scientifically) but you and the left are asking for a BIG change based on your theories.
 
So...now this will be really hard...answer these questions, and before you do, let me address yours, yes increased CO2 seems to be happening and it may have an adverse effect.  Not sure if it is enough to change a big planets global patterns, but it might.
 
Having said that...don't you think a legitimate criticism of your side is it proposing a big solution, unevenly enforced, with terrible negative economic consequences and a huge chance for corruption?  This for a theory in debate.
 
Now, before you go all postal, address my concerns.  Honestly should not the planet be getting warmer? It is not.  If it is so important, should we not use nuclear power?  You won't let us.  Should not the guidelines be appied to all societies.  They are not.  Lastly, the carbon credits, are they not the most potenially corruptable concept ever?  They are like MBS on steriods.
 
I don't need to see the film, you need to explain the film

The first part of dealing with a problem is admitting it’s existence. Is the earth warming? Of course it is…the polar caps are melting, The snows of Kilimanjaro are no more, the oceans are warming at an increased rate and Phoenicians are having more 100 degree days…If it’s midnight….it’s dark, not up for debate.

Watch the movie again with your family. Ask yourself what kind of planet do you want your girls to inherit. If you find some logic in what Gore has to say, what sacrifices are you willing to make?

This problem is not political, it’s human. The world has recognized it and signed off on Kyoto (not Dubya). The penalty for ignoring this problem is wide spread pestilence and misery.

You would be wise to consider your carbon footprint. Collective effort is comprised is comprised of individual action.

Reducing our carbon footprint also has significant geopolitical benefits. The cost of non-renewable energy should significantly increase through taxation (offset by tax cuts elsewhere) which will reduce our reliance on the worst neighborhood in the world. It will improve our trade imbalance. It will reduce the relative power of the oil states including Iran, Russia and Venezuela. We will be treating a precious resource as though it is actually valuable and vulnerable rather than cheap and plentiful. Maybe we won't suffer another oil embargo or have to send 500K troops to protect Saudi Arabia. Carbon taxes are a win, win, win proposition for America. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is icing on the cake!

except that scientific discovery is never settled science.

anyone who says something like that should be immediately discredited.

and, as the post above documents, they, the folks who have you convinced, are lying through their teeth.

This is collectivism with a purpose.

All that stuff you cite Rich, it is not dependant on observation but analysis. Your observations are meaningless.

BTW, I notice your concern for reducing my footprint did not curtail your or the other Rich's foreign travel this year. I guess it is just the Republican's who should reduce their footprint.

Lastly, if this is so darn important, how about Nuclear Power, we can figure what to do with the leftovers later.
