I see you are trying to make a good attempt here, and I am all for it.
Too bad there is some sort of general attitute here at ATS to bash this kind of information. Hopefully you will be able to take it with ease and
counter with some well based facts.
It seems to me that the "pro" facts come from renown sources and the "con" seem to pick their easy points from murky waters.
What this kind of "denial" hails from is pretty much a mystery, at least to me.
Is it fear of change?
Fear of tax increase?
Or is it just plain refusal to take the blame like a man and accept that mankind has severely damaged the planet due to our greed and disrespect for
nature?
Maybe all of the above.
Let me just say this; some of the largest companies in the modern world are those who deal with energy and fossile fuel. These companies can't take
any blame since they are more than reluctant to change their ways. Stubborn stupidity, with other words.
They use their money to flood the world with their "bought" science.
They don't want you to save up on electricity. They don't want you to limit your driving or general consumption.
They want you to keep doing like we already have done for the past 50 years or so, only
more.
Developing countries like China doesn't want this kind of debate either. At least not yet. They want to become just as senseless in their consumption
like we idiots in the west first before they do anything to improve the situation (that isn't really a problem in the first place...eh?).
It's kind of upsetting really.
The "Global Warming Scam" idea is pretty demented as it is, and if it is anything; it's a popularity contest. Often presented to the ignorant
masses as entertaining and amusing. That's how you capture the crowds; with fun, not facts. School is boring, playtime is fun.
Well, I won't jump into this any further since I had it with the madness that eventually floods every such tread as this one.
But if you are ready to shoulder the burden of this inevitable rant-battle, know that I, and many others, support you fully.
I hope this thread can stay on-topic for at least three pages.
Star and flag. Keep up the spirit.
