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.

The arctic ice was a nice buffer between us and potential harm. |

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. It's not a question of lessing the impact or cleaning the air or pollution control. I'm not against any of that - in fact I'm pro environment and when I was Vice-Chairman of the town's Planning and Zoning board and Chairman of the Conservation Commission, I was a royal pain-in-the-ass to developers. I wasn't anti-development either, but I made sure they had their ducks in a row and that the impact to the local eco systems were either zero or minimalized. It's a question of pawning off bogus science as "settled". It's a giant trade system built to benefit a few - including Al Gore who has made millions trading carbon credits based on dubious statistical methodology which cheerfully ignores historical trends plus solar science while supporting flat out statistical lying and the ostrasizing scientists who dare question the "settled" science. The gist of the articles, which you obviously didn't read, is that good science is posing questions and poking/prodding data to find flaws, questions assumptions and test theories. Climate change science, as currently practiced, isn't good science. Are there changes in climate - sure there are. The question is what is causing it and the more closely the "settled science" is examined, it's becoming more evident that it's base assumption of anthropomorphic changes made by man are false. A good example is the recent contretemps over the "cow" tax - that cow farts area major component of "global warming". Here's a fact for you - there were more buffalo running around the Great Plains of the US than the entire dairy and beef industry herds currently in production. Buffalos fart too. Think about it instead of blaming "righties" for not being politically correct. -- "Never fight an inanimate object." P.J. O'Rourke |

Come on, everyone knows cows are way more flatulent than buffalo. It's the diet. ;-) IIRC, the Gaia theory holds that termites are responsible for the supply of methane. |

That's the beauty of it - climate changes every second of every day of every year. :) -- Preliminary operational tests were inconclusive (the damn thing blew up) |

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. They want the earth and tax cuts to remain status quo. They're just as stubboron about the (in)validity of both. I just heard yesterday that Moody's did an analysis on how to stimulate the economy. Food stamps was the winner. Every $1.00, $1.73 was done in commerce. Employment insurance was next with $1.64 per dollar invested. Tax cuts for small business? Accellerated depreciation on new equipment returned .33 for every dollar invested since it takes a long time for business to identify and make the investments. This doesn't account for the longer term effects, just the immediate effect of stimulating the economy. Naturally, food stamps aren't being considered in the stimulus bill. I'm not defending the stimulus bill that's being considered. I think it's a cluster ****. |

I wouldn't have tossed in a dime to "bail out" the financial community, and I don't believe "small business" will do anything but try to survive in some sort of greatly reduced circumstances. Small business is not in an expansionary mood. I just heard made a $45 billion profit last year, and Wall Street is handing out $18 billion in bonuses. **** 'em, and stick 'em with excess profits taxes and special taxes on those huge unearned bonuses. What we need is some blood on the streets and some corporate-banking heads on pikes, followed by a restructing of society. No executive in any company should be making more than 50 times the wage of the average worker in that company, for starters. We've got to start drumming out greed as a motivator. |

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. While I agree we should be concerned about the environment, I knew from the start global warming was a farce of gigantic proportions. Fostered by statism and greed for our green. It was and is only a tool used to keep our minds off of the corruption, war, recession/depression and government incompetance. Nothing more. People like to focus their anxiety, "green CO2" was "politically correct"...but a farce none the less. We as humans over estimate the amount of control we have on such things like weather. We are in fact slaves to our environnent and will for all intensive purposes, always will be. We think we control a lot more than we actually do. One nice solar flare, and in 9-12 minutes or so it is all over as the earth is fried to a crisp. I just hope if/when it happens I get to land the fish first. |
