AGW taxation will keep America out of the red. What do you expect, no one said anything while Bush was cutting taxes on record levels and spending like hell. Bushes Medicare B has already broken the system and we can’t undo it. The funds have to come from some place.
Truth hurts, but Medicare B was legislation for big Pharma by big Pharma. Make no mistake friends everyone knew it would break the system AGW was already staged to bridge the gap and cover the cost.
America is for sale friends and it always has been. Money talks and bull# walks.
You ever heard about the Diamond mining company that wanted to mine the Arkansas public diamond mine? Legislation existed which protected the publically owned mine, and ensured that it could never be exploited or taken from public use “This was an open/working park mind you”. To make the story short this company lined a few pockets and had legislation past that gave them full and sole access to the mine.
The only reason we can still hunt for diamonds there is the fact that the company after some experimental digging found the mine to be not commercially viable. Not enough carets per ton.
It’s all for sale, big business rules the roost in America. Capitalism at its finest.

REPLY: AGW, AKA as cap and Tax, would bankrupt America if BHO hadn't already done so. In Europe, every "Green" job caused the loss of two "regular" jobs. Medicare was already bankrupt before GW was in office, simply because government is running it.
The reduction in tax rates by GW resulted in more money going to the government coffers, more money in the pockets of those who earned it, and in 2006, alone, generated enough NEW wealth equal to the entire economy of China.
"Big Business" is........ YOU!!! A corporation is a legal fiction, and is nothing more than many people working for the same business. PEOPLE are the economy, not government. The top 15% of earners in America (those evil rich) pay over 85% of the taxes, and over 35% of people in America pay no taxes at all.
I didn't agree with many things Bush spent money on (like more social programs), but most of it went to keeping America safe, which he did for eight years. Medicare B was the only part of it that was actually coming in UNDER BUDGET, until the Dems stuck their wienie in the soup and removed the competition from the equation.

Spread out?
It was called 'World War' 2 - that is pretty spread out.
The hulls of of the various ships active in our oceans continuously deposit 'fine grain iron.' No ice age....

The ability to manipulate the temperature of the planet is an ability that a type 1 civilization has.
We are not a type 1 civilization. Not yet.
*Plankton growth has increased since we killed the whales who eat it.
Want more plankton, kill the rest of the whales.

By detonating a 20 megaton nuclear weapon over a sizable iron ore deposit in the ocean, the required amount of particulate might be generated.
Although, a series of twenty 1 megaton blasts over multiple ore locations would guarantee results. I mean, why take take any chances? not to mention doing it in multiple locations would save energy - energy that would have been used to disperse the iron by other means.
