Hullo Onlyfacts.

Yes no argument.

If only some of these others would just open their eyes and their minds, they can continue their ranting, but unfortunately the day of reckoning will come upon all of us.

Before man, this earth was a completely beautiful garden and it can be again, even with humans.

Just as opinions evolve so will the the economic market to support other new industries which do not pollute but provide alternative sources of fuel and a return to clean water, wholesome air and an overall thriving eco-system. Why fight it? enjoy. Sometimes change is good !

The Republicans are not stupid. They will let the Democrates bring in regulations that will in time raise the price of everything we buy two fold and taxes will be raised to a 50% base to pay for all regulatory costs. There will be starvation. People will have to live in caves because there is not lumber to build houses. People will freeze to death because there is no affordable energy for heating. If people and goods can not move freely the economy will tank and jobs will vanish. So what is next, controlled population growth, a medical system that only the very wealth can afford.

Every energy saving alternative and renewable energy program has it drawbacks. Senetor Kennedy does not want to see wind generators from this pristine Mass sea shore. Batteries are the worst alternative.

Most of those famous people that advicate the reduction of green house gasses are the worst offenders. Most are very rich with two or more homes, boats, planes, motor cycles. I wonder how many gallons of gasoline was used in the last Tom Cruise action movie, with all the explosions. Those fire balls are burning gasoline. But they are rich, as is Al Gore. The do not have to live by the same standards as we little people.

Rheola,

We are in agreement. However, there is too much hype on CO2 as the evil gas. Until real pollution is addressed, the Global Warming %u2018debate%u2019 is just noise distracting us from any useful progress.

It is is blantantly obvious from a large number of these postings, that many would rather wait until the point of no return has gone by, before they would be willing to curtail their greedy and materialistic excesses.
The post defending such an unnecessary fools vehicle as is the hummer is such

Surely any person with half a brain would have to agree, that the most logical course would be to prepare for a possible Global warming occurence immediately, in order to lessen the possibility of a catastophic situation at a future date.
If then such a situation does not arise to the extent that may be possible, then no harm has been done, in fact with greener power,our quality of life would almost certainly be improved.
There would of course be some short term pain to the likes of coal miners etc, however blind freddie could see that replacement jobs would be available in those industries supplying the greener technology.
Of course the energy moguls will fight furiously to protect teir income, irregardless of the cost to human life.

"the only thing that smells better than burning tires is smoking liberals."
Well thanks Musty... I heppen to be a smoking liberal and I am rather proud of my fragrance.

[huskerarmy]

"I despise the Clean Air Act."
Gee Musty, Something tells me you would despise anything that interferes with the right of the corporate elite to stick it in our arses.

[huskerarmy]

"The federal Government already regulates green house gas emissions from cars and has been doing so for decades..."
Not under Bush... "On the third, it (The Court) ordered EPA to re-evaluate its contention it has the discretion not to regulate tailpipe emissions."

[musty2u]

the only thing that smells better than burning tires is smoking liberals. I despise the Clean Air Act. It was poorly written, costs business way too much, does not really eliminate emissions, and is nothing more than an interference to general commerce.

The federal Government already regulates green house gas emissions from cars and has been doing so for decades under the "Energy Policy Conservation Act". They are CAFE standards and they specify how much gas milage a car should get or how far it should go on a given amount of emissions.
