IWA For Sunday 112909

ANYONE who is still propagating the whole GWBS

Hey folks,

Since the news came out, not in the Mainstream Media Drones Reports, but the News came out non-the-less, that the Chicken Little Crowd {Official Scientist paid to continue the scam of Global Warming} have been Emailing each other as to how to continue the SCAM that is Global Warming, keep those REAL Scientist out of publications that PROVE it is a SCAM, and how to hide the FACT we are no longer Warming AT ALL, some have decided to INCREASE the propaganda that is GWBS.

So this week, I am awarding ANYONE who is still propagating the whole GWBS. From Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva {Who says Rich Countries have to pay him to protect the Rain forest, which is being destroyed by Man but not GWBS}, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Barack Obama, Kim Carstensen, WWF's climate change director, Denmark's Climate Minister Connie Hedegaard, all the way down to the Idiots like Arthur Max, Associated Press Writer, that are either ORDERED to or chose to write Dribble such as this, AP - US and China to reduce emissions, but not enough, while ignoring the FACTS that is it all based on a SCAM!

AMSTERDAM – Even after the U.S. and China set targets this week for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the world's combined pledges ahead of next month's climate summit fall far short of what experts say is needed to avert dangerous global warming.

That's all I have to post here. You want to read the rest of this garbage, then clink the link.

There IS NO GLOBAL WARMING. Not since 98. MORONS! There is no man-made-global-envio-threat to this World. Period. It is all a SCAM! As I posted Tuesday, Nail in The Cap and Tax Coffin?

These are from those pesky Private Emails form those claiming GW is anything more than BS. You know, the whole bases for Cap and Tax? The whole bases for the Government to come in and start regulating your life. The whole Bases for Al Gore to make more Millions, while YOU have to live in a tent and ride a bike to work. The whole bases for our President to give up our Sovereignty to the UN and join the One World Government. The whole bases of the new and growing Green Industry. IT'S A SCAM!!!

Hey folks, I do not have time to go over everything that I have told you for YEARS. The evidence is clear. THERE IS NO MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING!!! From the fact we haven't "Warmed" in over a decade, to the Polar Bears exploding in record numbers. From the fact the ICE is NOT melting and the sea is not rising, to the Caribou are mating in record numbers by the Alaskan Pipeline. From Al Gore using a clip from the Sci-Fi, "Day After Tomorrow" movie in his movie about man destroying the planet, to and including the fact, this is ALL MADE UP.

But those computer models? Garbage in, garbage out. I have talked about that as well. I could get a computer to tell us the probable out come of an Asteroid hitting San Fransisco, and it will seems dire. Problem is, THERE IS NOT ASTEROID! You get the point.

We have talked about how devastating Cap and Tax would be. The Poor and Middle Class will be hit the hardest. The Rich? They can afford to play the game and buy the scam that is Carbon Credits. YOU? You better get ready to chose if you will buy gas, or food.


So instead of investigating the FACT that this is all a Hoax, Some just continue to propagate the SCAM in the FACE of all the evidence that the only thing that is Man-Made is the claim that there IS a threat.

Congratulation to all of you propagandists out there. That either out of ignorance or blind obedience have decided to continue to attempt to push this obscene agenda of power, control, and money, YOU are the idiot of the Week. You are just making yourselves look like fools, and you will be recognized as such in the long run. When more and more Americans, and people all around the world WAKE UP to this scam, ANYONE attempting to further advance it, will be seen for what they are, IDIOTS!

Global Warming Scam, Lawsuit, Al Gore Avoids Truth

From the Energy Front 092909

Big news, Iran launches Missiles that can reach Israel, able to carry Nukes. You know, those missiles that they will not have for YEARS. Big news, it is learned that Iran has another "secret Nuclear Facility" and possibly many more. You know, those that they claimed for years NOT to have. Big news, "All targets within the region, no matter where they are, will be within the range of these missiles," General Hossein Salami, commander of the Guards' air force, said. I'm NOT going to say it. I'm just not. Our Fearless Leader? Off to help persuade, what some say is already a done deal, the Olympics to come to Chicago in 2016. {Sigh}

Hey folks,

Glad to be back in The Chair. REALLY glad. Of course, I'm glad you could stop by. Happy Tuesday to you. Don't miss tomorrow. Is Conservatism dead? Some are starting to say it is. That is tomorrow. Today is Tuesday, time to go to the Energy Front.

A while back I posed a video of John Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel in 1982, saying that he was thinking about suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force Global Warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.

"I have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the witness stand and testified, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming."

Maybe. The media would have to cover it? I guarantee you this. Even if they did not, the NEW Media WILL. Here he is, in his own words, talking about this.






So what does this have to do with Energy? A LOT! The whole reason that Father Gore, and the Chicken Little crowd is pushing this Scam is Power, Control, and of course, MONEY! It's all about Taxes and Trading Schemes. Of course Al Gore Denys this.





Waxman - Markey? What will it cost? Who makes the Profit? Of course, Al Gore denies THIS as well. Actually, he doesn't deny it, he flat out avoids it.






YOU! YOU will pay for all this. Al Gore's lame attempt to deflect the question by holding up the New York Times is pathetic. He knows how much it will cost. HE IS GETTING A HUGH CHUNK OF IT! Of course that is why he came up with this scam to begin with.

I do not want to repeat myself all that much here, but even if GW was anything more than BS, even if it was REAL, Carbon Credits DO NOTHING, to help the planet. ALL THEY DO IS MOVE MONEY AROUND.

Gore and Gov. "Mr. Millionaire, or Big Business, you can't continue to operate and live the way you have been. We have determined that your 'Carbon Footprint' is to big."

Big Business, Millionaire "OK, OK. OK. You got your stupid little Law passed. What do I have to do to make you happy?"

Gore and Gov. "Well, we understand how important you are, so just pay us $100.00 per every unit you go over and all is fine."

Big Business, Millionaire "So all I have to do is pay you about Ten Grand annually and I do not have to change anything?"

Gore and Gov. "That right. just pay us and we'll leave you alone."

Big Business, Millionaire "Well, what about my smaller competitor, or the average everyday folks out there?"

Gore and Gov. "Who cares? YOU can afford it, so why worry about them?"

Big Business, Millionaire "OK, Cool. Besides, if my competitors can't afford it, they will go under, and I'll make even MORE money."

Sound familiar? I grew up in NY. Imagine if you will, you are the new owner of a Pizza Place. In walks two guys dressed in Suits.

Thugs "Hey you want that you should be safe here? We can protect you. All you have to do is pay us, say 30 percent of your profits, and, you know, we'll, make sure that nothing happens to you. This could be a rough Neighborhood you know."

Pizza Owner "OK, OK, OK. Here ya go."

Thugs "Hey, you won't regret this. No one messes with those under OUR protection. Welcome to the Neighborhood."

Pizza Owner "Hey wait, if I pay you, say 40 percent, will you make sure no one else opens another Pizza place here?"

Thugs "Forgetaboutit, You is our number one Pizza place. See you next week."

Truth is folks, Carbon Credits amount to nothing more than a shake down by the Government of Big Business. Oh, YOU will pay for it. You will pay for it in higher costs, and higher taxes. YOU will pay for it in higher fuel costs and if YOU can not pay to play the game, YOU will have to make changes in your daily lives, while people like Al Gore, Rush Limbaugh, and, well, just about EVERY member of Congress, can continue to live as the will. Big Business will continue to make a profit, and NOTHING will change in the Environment.

It really is, just that simple.

General Consensus Global Warming is Real? Really?

Hey folks,

You know, one of the biggest arguments for Global Warming being real is that there is a general consensus that it’s real by nearly all Scientists. When someone like me say that Global Warming is nothing but a scam, the argument I get is one of the following three.

One- I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m not a Scientist therefore I am not qualified to comment on it.

Two- There is a general consensus among REAL Scientists that it exists. As for the one or two that you could name, they are just deniers.

Three-Why bother fighting about it. Would it not be better to be safe than sorry. It’s real, just accept it.

OK. One, I’m not a certified Scientist. Absolutely correct. But I do LOVE Science and have studied it over the years. I understand science and understand the Scientific Method. Global Warming fails to meet the Scientific Method. There is NO science involved in PROVING Global Warming.

Two, "One or two that disagree?" Check this out. According to The Petition Project,

During the past several years, more than 17,100 basic and applied American scientists, two-thirds with advanced degrees, have signed the Global Warming Petition.

Signers of this petition so far include 2,660 physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists [Link of Names] who are especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide on the Earth's atmosphere and climate.

Signers of this petition also include 5,017 scientists whose fields of specialization in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and other life sciences make them especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide upon the Earth's plant and animal life.

Nearly all of the initial 17,100 scientist signers have technical training suitable for the evaluation of the relevant research data, and many are trained in related fields. In addition to these 17,100, approximately 2,400 individuals have signed the petition who are trained in fields other than science or whose field of specialization was not specified on their returned petition.

Of the 19,700 signatures that the project has received in total so far, 17,800 have been independently verified and the other 1,900 have not yet been independently verified. Of those signers holding the degree of PhD, 95% have now been independently verified. One name that was sent in by enviro pranksters, Geri Halliwell, PhD, has been eliminated. Several names, such as Perry Mason and Robert Byrd are still on the list even though enviro press reports have ridiculed their identity with the names of famous personalities. They are actual signers. Perry Mason, for example, is a PhD Chemist.

The costs of this petition project have been paid entirely by private donations. No industrial funding or money from sources within the coal, oil, natural gas or related industries has been utilized. The petition's organizers, who include some faculty members and staff of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, do not otherwise receive funds from such sources. The Institute itself has no such funding. Also, no funds of tax-exempt organizations have been used for this project.

The signatures and the text of the petition stand alone and speak for themselves. These scientists have signed this specific document. They are not associated with any particular organization. Their signatures represent a strong statement about this important issue by many of the best scientific minds in the United States.

This project is titled "Petition Project" and uses a mailing address of its own because the organizers desired an independent, individual opinion from each scientist based on the scientific issues involved - without any implied endorsements of individuals, groups, or institutions.

The remainder of the initial signers and all new signers will be added to these lists as data entry is completed.

What does the Petition say?

Global Warming Petition

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

So it sounds to me like the movement is growing . Global Warming is a scam folks. It’s all about money and power. Period. So to answer Three, There is no reason to be "safer than sorry." I have no desire to lose freedoms or funds based on a scam. I also have no desire to accept a scam as fact.

The Cost Of The Scam Of Global Warming

Hey folks,

Yes I know there was a Republican debate last night. No I did not watch it. Yes I know you want to know what I thought. OK, from what I have seen, They all blamed Bush in an attempt to separate themselves from a President with the lowest approval ratings. They believe, and most likely are right, that they will get more press by doing so. Some of the lessor known long shots tried to stand out, and the front runners continue to be Giuliani, Romney, and McCain. Giuliani was asked AGAIN about his Abortion stance. Nothing really stood out. Nothing is really new.

You see, this is my point, it is way too soon to make a decision yet. I will let you know when something really does happen. When I decide who I’m certain really stands a chance, I assure you, you will be the first to know.

But what I do want to talk about today is this. According to AP-Climate change battle could spell new disasters By Gerard Wynn

Rich countries meeting in Germany this week will agree that they need to confront climate change, but unpleasant tradeoffs are already emerging.

Unless properly managed, a rush to reshape the world's economy to arrest climate change could end up trampling the lifestyles of the rich, the livelihoods of the rural poor, and the earth's most vulnerable habitats.

But remember folks, this is a good thing.

A tequila shortage is perhaps one of the least-expected results of planting lucrative, "climate-friendly" biofuels -- as Mexican farmers set ablaze their fields of cactus-like agave to make way for corn, a feedstock for ethanol. Biofuels are also blamed for raising food prices and destroying forests.

The result of misguided climate policies could be to undermine public support for action and discourage businesses from buying in.

You mean that people will start see this as the scam it is?

"Definitely there'll be tradeoffs between climate change and the local environment, and with energy security," said Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises rich countries.

"We are not in the luxury of being able to choose from hundreds of energy types."

Just how mankind plans to battle climate change is still sketchy, but one buzz word is "scaling up" -- for example by boosting research into and deployment of clean energy technologies like wind and nuclear power and biofuels.

As long as you do not put any of these things in Liberals back yards.

Urgency has been spurred by a series of U.N. climate reports this year confirming threats like desertification, droughts and rising seas and calling for action now to cut the long-term cost.

But evidence is emerging of the repercussions. British charity Christian Aid says Colombian rebel groups are forcing poor people off their land to grow lucrative palm oil for biodiesel, likening it to diamonds financing African wars.

"You could have blood biofuels in the same way as blood diamonds. It's a classic case of exploiting natural resources behind the veil of conflict," said Christian Aid climate policy analyst Andrew Pendleton.

"Unscrupulous private sector operators, rebel groups, are keen to make a fast buck."

I have been telling you folks, it’s all about money and power. The whole scam has never been about anything else. I keep seeing report after report, article after article about how the poor will suffer the most with Global Warming. Turns out, that the poor are suffering MORE now, in the name of FIGHTING Global Warming.

Biofuels already occupy an area equal to all of the arable land in France, says the IEA, and they are blamed for raising the cost of corn, sugar and other foods they compete with for land.

But negative repercussions are hard to prove.

Hard to prove? If corn products use to cost one dollar, in a country where a weekly salary is eight dollars a month, now it costs three? Or as this very article stated.

But evidence is emerging of the repercussions. British charity Christian Aid says Colombian rebel groups are forcing poor people off their land to grow lucrative palm oil for biodiesel, likening it to diamonds financing African wars.

Someone has a home and now they do not, it’s not hard to prove.

A hike in the price of tortillas, a Mexican staple, was blamed on biofuels and sparked riots, but may have more to do with the monopoly power of dominant tortilla producers, says Annie Dufey, research associate at Britain's International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).

Such fears risk fatalism and favor the status quo, said Bert Metz, chair of a major U.N. report published last month on policy options.

"Problems of land ownership and poor people are there, let's do something about it, but not blame it on climate change," he said.

"There's no basis for supposing climate policies will create more problems than they solve, provided they're put in place wisely. I'd view that as another excuse for doing nothing."

They already ARE creating these problems you moron. They will create a lot more. All in the name of the Global Warming Religion.

The report did not weigh the cost and benefit of the recent consumer fad of boycotting air freight and travel to reduce carbon emissions, which could inadvertently hurt African exports and tourism.

"It's inequitable, tokenism," said the IIED's Bill Vorley of such consumer concerns.
Fresh fruit and vegetable exports from sub-Saharan Africa accounted for less than 0.1 percent of total British greenhouse gas emissions, but supported more than one million people, the IIED estimates.

It also doesn’t really matter. It just does because some idiotic and ignorant scientists CLAIMS it does. Now here is something I have been looking into a bit more lately. Mainly because of the outrageous electric bills I have gotten. When I asked why they are so high, I actually had someone from the local and ONLY power company here tell me, that’s just the way it is. WRONG answer to give me.

In an interview with Reuters, Clemens Betzel, the president of Cardiff-based solar power company G24 Innovations, put on a table a bendy, solar power generator the size of a sheet of paper.

It produces enough power to run a mobile phone or light bulb, but there's plenty of demand for that, he said.

"People sit on a street corner selling power from a car battery. They're paying $60 to a $100 a year for kerosene to light their home," said Betzel, who said he could market his product for $20.

"We're going into Africa, India, China."

There is some solar companies that will sell you the total package. You can be energy self sufficient completely off the grid. The technology is there, and improving at an unbelievable rate. Imagine that, a completely renewable endless supply of imaginable power. The Sun. Why do we not spend more time and money looking into this?

Yes folks, the Gwarians out there are now trying to find a way to spin this to say they are NOT to blame for hurting poor people. Meanwhile, they want to keep telling you, you need to pay them for your sins. They do not have to change. YOU do. I keep telling you, this is nothing but a scam. There is going to come a time when you are going to have to make up your mind. Which do you believe?

Special Guest Global Warming Saga


D.S.Harford said...

What Al Gore didn’t tell you.


From about 1940 until the late 1970;s the earth’s ground temperature was cooling. In 1970 fears of global cooling where attributed to mankind’s so called pollution of the atmosphere, which was blocking out the sun. Then in the 80’s and 90’s temperatures started rising. And it turned to global warming.

From 1400 to about 1860 the planet was in a cool period, sometimes called the "Little Ice Age".Temperatures today are back to the levels 1000 A.D. to 1350 sometimes termed "Medieval Warm Period".


CO2 is less than 4/100ths of 1% of all gases present.

95% of all so called greenhouse gases is water vapor.

CO2 is not a one way filter.

The dynamics of the earth is not the same as a simple greenhouse.

Antarctica on average is getting thicker.

The Vikings use to live and farm Greenland.

By the year 2050 humans will add 2,409 billion pounds/year of CO2 to the Atmosphere, by breathing.

Al’s graph was a combination of 2 graphs. The left side was from ice core drills in Antarctica, recordings used from only 1000 years ago till 1890. What is called proxy measurements. The right side was from air grabs from Maua Loa a volcano in Hawaii, 1954 till 2005. (Are we missing some years here?)

The thermometer was invented in 1714. Average year temperature in 1822 in Albany N.Y. was 49.2. In 2005 after the industrial revolution it was 49.2.

Today co2 is about 370ppm. Over the life of the planet it has been as high as 7000ppm.In the late Ordovician period about 450 million years ago co2 was 4000ppm yet earth’s temperature was the same as today. Co2 has only once been this low in the planet’s history and that was about 275 million years ago.

In 1998 17,000 scientist signed the Oregon Report, which denied that mankind was effecting global warming.

Nasa with their satellite and balloon measurements said that over the past 18+ years there is no warming trend over the planet.

So the planet is presently warming, but what is causing it. Could it possibly be the sun?

The real danger with groups like the Chicken Little (global warming) ones is that they falsify and use bad data to prove an already formed conclusion. The idea or morality of Science is to find out the truth and to do so by arriving at a conclusion AFTER all the facts are in. Al’s moral message was anything but moral, unless we can use it to define what immoral is.


If the rest of the scientific community continues on the path demonstrated by Chicken Little the human race may very well be in grave danger.

Thank you again D.S.

The Continuing Saga, March Toward STEALING Your Money.

Hey folks,

Here are two more examples of what I HAVE been telling you. "Global Warming" is a scam, all about money, YOUR money. There was an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times on March 9,2007, by GREGG EASTERBROOK , who is a fellow of the Brookings Institution and the author of "The Progress Paradox: How Life Gets Better While People Feel Worse." He is telling you the truth. He might not have meant to, but he did.

LAST month, to the delight of many global warming skeptics, {Those that know it a scam} was revealed that Al Gore uses 20 times as much electricity and natural gas at his Tennessee house than the national average. Out of curiosity, I put the former vice president’s power bills and ZIP code through the home-emissions calculator of TerraPass, a company that sells "carbon offsets" — the promise to reduce greenhouse gases by the same amount your behavior increases them.

TerraPass estimated that the power use of a house equivalent to Mr. Gore’s causes 377,000 pounds of Greenhouse Gases annually. That is roughly the annual carbon emission of 20 Hummers. Next time you see Mr. Gore wagging his finger about the energy sins of others, picture a caravan of 20 Hummers driving to the Academy Awards.

Actually, that would be more than 20 normal houses annually.

A Gore spokeswoman told the press that the former vice president pays extra for wind energy, and buys carbon offsets. He’s not the only one: companies that sell such offsets are rising in popularity, and certificates for them were included in the stars’ Oscar night goodie bags. Soon not just individuals, but the entire United States, may be purchasing carbon offsets on a grand scale.

I have been wondering about this.

TerraPass charges $1,247.50 for one year of carbon offsets for a home like Mr. Gore’s, the price including a refrigerator magnet proclaiming the home "carbon balanced." Initially I found it hard to believe anyone could counteract Mr. Gore’s prodigious energy lust for just $1,247.50, since planting about 20,000 trees would be required to neutralize even half his house’s carbon footprint.

NOT true. That doesn’t work, as they are starting to admit to. But $1,247.50 a year? Oh yeah, unlike you, he pays himself. You will be paying HIM. He owns the company. Remember. No mention of that little fact, hmm Gregg?

This all seems a classic example of economies of scale. Individuals can’t do anything about landfill methane. But a company like TerraPass can combine the resources of many to accomplish this task, allowing the person of good intent to use energy with no net contribution to the greenhouse effect. Whether companies marketing offsets really do reduce greenhouse gases is something for consumer reporters or the Federal Trade Commission to determine. Assuming the sellers do as promised, buying carbon offsets isn’t an exercise in guilt. It’s smart economics.
Alright folks, this is STUPID. You are NOT saving anything. You are paying for the RIGHT to say you are "carbon free." However, you are not doing anything, except making Al Gore richer.

There is also a bigger issue here. That offsets are smart economics may be central to slowing carbon accumulation in the atmosphere. The scientific case for greenhouse-gas regulation now strong, and Congress may soon impose the first carbon dioxide limits on American producers. Current bills in the Senate — one sponsored by John McCain and Joe Lieberman, another by John Kerry and Olympia Snowe — would cut domestic greenhouse emissions to about the level of 1990.

On the plus side, these bills would create a significant profit incentive for greenhouse-gas reduction. Offering inventors and entrepreneurs a profit incentive should lead to an outpouring of anti-global-warming innovations.

{Laughing} This is all about the money. Now the Government will be getting into the mess. Ultimately, taxing fining, YOU for what they do not have to do. Wait, stop, hold it one second, our Government can solve the unsolvable problem? They can cut domestic greenhouse emissions to about the level of 1990? Great! No problem then. Of course, they will SAY they did it, and YOU will pay for it. Now they want to go after China. The arrogance of these people is unbelievable.

But even if successful, the McCain-Lieberman or Kerry-Snowe bills would only slightly lower future atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases. That’s because Chinese carbon emissions are skyrocketing.

Since 1990, according to the World Resources Institute, American greenhouse emissions rose 18 percent while Chinese emissions rose 77 percent. China may pass America as the No. 1 emitter of greenhouse gases as soon as 2010. If current trends hold, by 2050 emerging nations led by China and India will emit twice as much carbon as the United States and Western Europe combined.

China’s emissions are soaring because the Chinese economy is nearly three times as "carbon intensive" as America’s, burning far more fossil fuel per unit of gross domestic product. Chinese coal-fired power plants are notoriously inefficient, consuming twice as much coal per kilowatt produced as American generating stations. They also run without the elaborate anti-pollution "stack scrubbers" found in Western power plants. And China opens a new coal-fired generating station every week to 10 days.

Here’s where offset economics come into play. Dollar for dollar, capital invested in greenhouse gas reduction would accomplish more if used to improve the efficiency of Chinese power plants than if spent in the United States. America needs legislation capping carbon emissions here, but Congress should allow American companies and consumers to use investments in carbon offsets in China and India against those caps, where the bang for the buck is much higher.

STOP!!! WAIT a second. Did you REALLY just say that? Read that again folks. "Dollar for dollar, capital invested in greenhouse gas reduction would accomplish more if used to improve the efficiency of Chinese power plants than if spent in the United States."

So the Chicken Little crowd want to charge you, and American companies, and send the money to CHINA, and India?

As a bonus, American investment in reducing Chinese and Indian air pollution would improve public health in those nations. Today smog in Chinese and Indian cities is worse than any in the West since London of the early 1950s. The result is far higher rates of respiratory disease in China and India than in the West.

If our goal in legislating against carbon releases is not simply punishing the West and its power companies but truly trying to reduce the accumulation of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the main event will be in the developing world. We must use the smartest possible economics, and that means investing in China and India.

Moron. I’ll be back in a sec. For part two.
Peter
