You are sooooooo unconvincing. What I cannot figure out is what is
motivating the righties to fight so hard against ways to lessen man's
impact on the environment.



I don't think anyone is against protecting the environment.
What many are against is reactionary, knee-jerk over-responses to
"problems"
that doesn't exist in the qualified opinion of many experts.

The calls to action often cause more problems than the initial concern.

That's the gentleman's response. My guess is that many on the right who
are protesting the loudest simply don't want anything to interfere with
their "enjoyment" even if it means further despoiling of the environment.

I am completely for protecting the environment, as I enjoy getting out
in the woods even when it is zero. The snow makes every thing very
pretty. In the summer I also enjoy the woods and sailing.

I also read a lot of history and realize that any changes in the climate
are just the cyclic variations that have been going on for thousands of
years. It has been hotter in the past and will be colder in the future.

It is ironic that National Geographic which pushes global warming has an
article on Nansen which show the arctic ice receded as far back then as
it is today. That was over 110 years ago. Believe it or not they ignore
that fact.

A thousand years ago the Viking were taking ships much further north
than we can go today. There have been in more recent times when there
was no summer, as it snow even in July and August the summer months.

I know the hockey stick graphs of the temperatures of the pass ten
thousands of years are not accepted by popular opinion today, but a
significant temperature drop would have far greater consequences to our
culture than a rise. Can you imagine an economy dependent on corn and
windmills for energy if the average temperature drop 10 degrees? I
doubt if those windmill blades could stand 2 inches of ice.
