Tom's representative list of scientists are "denying" science?

It will be interesting so see what happens over the next 5-10 years. From
what I've read on the subject even the most ardent advocates of mankind
being responsible for a global warming trend agree that it can't be reversed
in that short of a time frame.

My hunch is that in about 5 years new data will cause the whole debate to go
away, only to be replaced by a growing concern of a coming mini Ice Age
cycle.

Remember all the dire predictions of Y2K?

I do not doubt that the climate is changing. I would even believe man
is responsible for some of the changes. The real question is if
changing the trend is as simple as cutting our discretionary CO2
emissions. If you look at the Scientiofic American article from last
year about the effect of agriculture on climate they peg the
beginnings of the warming trend 8,000 years ago when man first started
clearing land and planting crops.


That is only some of the evidence. There is strong evidence that this
cycle has happened in concert with solar cycles. Some science is
being done on the issue of cosmic rays - namely that during certain
periods of sun cycle activity (not the 11 year cycle, but the longer
term 50/100,000 year cycles) there isn't enough photon activity (solar
wind) effectively reducing the magnetic shield which keeps them out or
slows them down.

I suppose if we make the penalties against the western economies
strong enough (and crash them) the resulting nuclear war will reverse
the warming trend and cut way back on that pesky population growth.


That is really the issue - it's another attempt to redistribute income
only on an internationlist scale.

The disturbing thing about this whole thing is some people have
invented a tax, brokered by venture capital firms to trade "carbon
credits". That instantly takes a non existant commidity and makes it
money. Some people are going to get very rich on a scheme that may be
totally meaningless and the cult religion of environmentalism is
driving that market.


Who is leading the charge? Gore.

I said it a long time ago - carbon credits were going to be
commodities and traded as such.

Create a market - that's how you do it. It's classic.

If that really is the issue, you are looking to blame the wrong people.
It isn't the environmentalists, it's the capitalists. If we are buying
all the out-sourced, pollution intensive products of the eastern
economies, who's pollution is it really? The Chinese, or ours? Part of
the "attractiveness" of out-sourcing is, in addition to the dollar a day
wages, companies don't have to put up with our pesky pollution laws.

If you really get down to it, it's not the environmentalists nor the
capitalists. It's the consumer ... looking for the lowest prices for
products and the highest return on their stock market investments.

Yup. It's a catch 22. I suppose you could impose high tariffs on imported
products but that opens up another can of worms. Meanwhile, the Chinese
factory worker is delighting in his and his country's newfound economic
success, very happy to be working for compensation and in conditions that we
consider slavery.

Harry .... just thought of something that would keep you busy for a couple

Go unionize China.

It would be more fun to see all the multi-national corporationists and
Wall Streeters rounded up and shot.

I believe China already is unionized, but the union is controlled by the
ruling communist party. Hell, even Walmart is unionized over there.

Ultimately, yes, but it seems to me quite shortsighted. We are still the
world's marketplace, but how long can that last, when all the jobs are
overseas? I still don't understand, how all those dollar a day workers,
are going to buy our products.
