We have all read it all I think. What many of us don't think is right is the concept of Cap and Trade. It will raise the price of ALL goods and
dramatically increase the price of food. The number of people who would starve as a result seems to be irrelevant to many.
If they are right and the temperature goes up around a half degree Celsius in the next hundred years and sea levels go up a couple of inches, is that
reason enough to destroy what's left of the economy and cause the starvation of possibly millions of people.
The catastrophe scenario is just in the movies. We are talking minor changes even if you buy the UN nonsense which has now been debunked by those who
provided the data they used to begin with.
Then some of us are following the money trail. Gore started what is now a worthless company which becomes worth an estimated one billion dollars the
second Cap and Trade passes. Add to that he made that movie to influence its passage and has made it clear he does not care if the science is grossly
exaggerated and its clear this is about money. Not you, not me, but money for the already rich and powerful. Gore left office worth a half million
dollars. He is now worth over a hundred million. All that on a Professors salary in the middle of a recession. Anyone dumb enough to believe he cares
about the environment???
Add to this the fact we have natural gas, already found, already accessible and ready to produce, that would fill all our needs for an estimated three
hundred years. We could have been driving our cars on LNG for about forty years now and the government knows this. It is nearly pollution free. So,
why exactly has the government blocked every attempt to go that way? Including Mr. Gore and his compatriots.
Add to that the fact our government, under the thumb of environmental extremists has blocked the building of nuclear power plants for the same period
of time, knowing full well it is safe, clean and cheap. The old argument about waste is stupid now as the French have been kind enough to solve those
issues.
There is only one conclusion to come to here. The governments are lying or we would have gone to natural gas and nuclear long ago. The
environmentalists are lying because they oppose all the best solutions and are the main reason progress is blocked. The data the UN used is faulty and
the emails and the subsequent confessions prove that. The results have been grossly exaggerated with the help of Gore and his future billionaires of
America club. The government little servants in the entertainment industry have made movie after movie to try and scare us into being stupid enough to
fall for this also.
Then they spread the bald faced lie that those opposed to Cap and Trade are anti-environment, which is of course a bunch of crap. We all want a clean
environment. We are just not all stupid.
They know most people can be manipulated with their soundbites and if they repeat lies enough times the weak minded will eventually come to believe
whatever facts they fabricate. I think they are shocked how many are suddenly waking up to the facts of GW. They are now in a corner and don't know
what to do, so look out. The lying has just begun.
Another good point is why are they not concentrating on China and India? We are improving at a fantastic rate and we are no longer the problem. China
is building dirty coal fired plants almost daily. Why is the UN and our so called environmental groups not interested in that? Ask yourself that
question. How many threads here are on China and India on this issue????
China, Russia and India have made it clear that they won't be participating in Cap and Trade. That means we are discussing the further destruction of
our economy and causing mass starvation for no reason. It will not help the environment one bit.
Not a day goes by that I'm not amazed at how naive so many are.
