I don't know, but I think we should "err on the side of caution" and act as though it was... even if that means damaging our economy (and real people). Hey, not fair! I agreed with the statement up until that last part about hurting people! I guess I don't like the idea that such policies have negative real consequences...

I don't know, but I think we should "err on the side of caution" and protect the very real families whose well-being and jobs would be impacted by warming legislation -- thus we should NOT yet pass laws that impact the economy, especially since they're based on a theory that is far from certain or conclusive.

It's an active attempt to mislead the public, as evidenced by the fact that NASA (and other governement agencies) have been caught falsifying data to make warming theory appear more credible; and "dissenting opinion" scientists on the government payroll are routinely fired.

Global Warming: Scientific Fact or Political Agenda? Or both?
#2

(09-16-2012, 02:25 PM)LaClerk Wrote:  Burning fossil fuels does have more tangible effects. In Richmond CA near the century-old Chevron refinery, 1 in 3 kids has asthma. Vehicles that use lots of gas make their drivers more susceptible to price shocks when gas spikes up. So there are arguments to moderating fossil fuel use that get lost in the climate change theory argument. I hope our nation can learn to mix up our energy sources. The availability of leased solar panels in CA has made installations take off here. I love mine because I'm sending PG&E much less money every month (I despise them, but that's another rant).

I agree that pollution is an issue worthy of attention; I simply disagree with tactics that "back up" such arguments with faulty or inconclusive science. In other words, I'm all in favor of letting people make an educated decision with facts -- I'm not in favor of distorting the facts so our "handlers" can push certain agendas. The ends do not justify the means. Smile_1
