Non-existent ice melting in the Arctic and non-rising sea levels don't get my interest.<br /><br />And it won't be $100 a year for clean air. $1000 won't do it. If government ever succeeds in anything, it's more by chance than anything else. Encouraging private industry will be far more successful.Garnel Ironheartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-20990379417743498012009-12-14T15:24:06.194-05:002009-12-14T15:24:06.194-05:00Excuse me, SOCIALISM? Is this the biggest excuse ...Excuse me, SOCIALISM? Is this the biggest excuse that you could find to denounce scientific evidence? Here's a quote from your article:<br /><br />"Since we operate an overwhelmingly carbon-based economy, the EPA will be regulating practically everything. No institution that emits more than 250 tons of CO2 a year will fall outside EPA control. This means over a million building complexes, hospitals, plants, schools, businesses and similar enterprises. (The EPA proposes regulating emissions only above 25,000 tons, but it has no such authority.) Not since the creation of the Internal Revenue Service has a federal agency been given more intrusive power over every aspect of economic life. "<br /><br />OH NOES! People with power! I'm sure they'll just use said power to hit your grandmother with large sticks. Absolute power does corrupt, after all. I'm sure these industrial companies emitting 25,000 TONS of carbon-based waste per year are completely lacking in any power. Poor them. It's so sad to be a large conglomerate these days. Dumping waste has never been more difficult, what with these middle-of-the-night drives to the local water reservoir. I wish I was kidding.<br /><br />Hey! Guess what! All those carbon emissions are pretty harmful! I bet you didn't see that coming, huh? Perhaps you are unaware of skyrocketing cancer, asthma, autoimmune disease, and autism rates? But I'm sure it never crossed your mind that billions of tons of gas emissions could possibly be harmful to your health or anything. As for me, I play in my garage for fun, with the car running. I find that my cheeks are quite healthily pink after such an enjoyable and invigorating activity.<br /><br />Now that we've done away with pesky health problems, let's get to the real crux of the matter here: You don't want to pay more in taxes. I hear you. On one hand, there's the health of you and all your family. On the other, there's the $100 a year it might cost you to have cleaner air. It's a tough decision.Devorahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-13706210667010638052009-12-14T10:28:34.389-05:002009-12-14T10:28:34.389-05:00Like I said to Devorah, I have no problem with tha...Like I said to Devorah, I have no problem with that.

If we turn Judaism into a self-centred parochial religion, we have failed God and Torah as much as if we were to go out on a Saturday afternoon drive to the local McDonald's."<br /><br />Bravo; well said. Good luck convincing the collection of self-centered parochial rabbis who run this show.<br /><br />As to the climate business, I have no idea what we're doing to the planet and am more than a bit skeptical about the whole "global warming" thing, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that we might do a bit better a job of stewardship over the environment...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752938979399977997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-45516065028616519602009-12-14T08:36:44.052-05:002009-12-14T08:36:44.052-05:00I've not just joined the anti-Climate change m...I've not just joined the anti-Climate change movement. I've been active opposing it since I was a kid. Of course, back then it wasn't about supposedly improving the environment but was more honest - it was about communism trying to take America down:<br />http://townhall.com/columnists/CharlesKrauthammer/2009/12/11/the_new_socialism<br /><br />At any rate, if environmentalists want to talk about cleaner air, less asthma, a more healthy food chain, etc. I'm all for it.

I'm surprised you've jump...Oh my goodness. I'm surprised you've jumped on the bandwagon, too. I have a question for you: Who are the biggest advocates to discredit this "global warning" alert? Who? Major industrial companies. Why? Because when the public perceives that industry is destroying our world, they will pass laws to curtail dangerous waste practices.<br /><br />Let's pretend for a moment that global warming is not fully substantiated. What would be the worst thing that could happen? We'd have better fuel-efficient cars? We'd impose tight restrictions on pollution from industry? We'd. . um. . rejoice at cooler temps? I'm really not sure what the downside is here.<br /><br />In addition, these emails were blown out of proportion. Guess what? In every single scientific discovery - EVERY SINGLE ONE, NO EXCEPTIONS - you're going to have a method of collecting data that you avoid, because it leads to confusing/nonspecific results. Believe me, I know. These emails - which out of the thousands, amount to exactly three which are somewhat "controversial" - are simply the discussion between scientists that one method doesn't work as well as a different method. Period.<br /><br />In one of the emails, which I wonder if you've even bothered to read, one scientist is actually complaining about a fellow scientist that wasn't so careful about his data collection, was published in a terrible journal, and is ruining the integrity of the science as a result. In fact, the editor of said journal was fired over publishing such poor science. Science is an area where there are so many checks and balances, and people have to repeat your data a million times for it to be considered authentic, that i don't really see the major problems here.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm disappointed that you've joined the gambit to let industrial companies run amok in order to save yourselves a few pennies on the dollar in tax money. To me, Less Pollution = Good. Why is everyone fighting so hard on this?Devorahnoreply@blogger.com
