Let's clear up some myths about global warming. This is just another attempt to control our lives and put us at the mercy of big government. Cap and Trade is a horrible bill that has passed in the Congress but is still pending in the Senate. It will regulate our use of energy in every aspect of our lives, down to how many times we open the refrigerator door. It will cause massive fraud and corruption. It will cause massive job loses and put many companies out of business. Our government continues to say, "Let them eat cake."
For the facts on this subject please see Robert Tracinski's interview of
Ian Plimer in The Intellectual Activist.
Geologist Ian Plimer wrote the book
Heaven and Earth, now
available in the United States, to explain the scientific background and the complex factors involved in the earth's climate. He shows why the simplistic theory that human generated CO2 - a miniscule portion of a minor element of the complex climatology - is absolutely ludicrous. Professor Plimer is largely responsible for educating the Australian government on the real scientific facts.
A quote from the article-
Plimer:
"Cap-and-trade legislation in the US will seriously add costs to the
wealth-generating enterprises of agriculture, mining, manufacturing,
and energy generation. By contrast, the more draconian legislation in
Australia will send many productive enterprises broke. The end result
is that efficient, low-polluting, low-cost enterprises will be shifted
to either the Third World or to subsidized economies (i.e., Europe). In
effect, the proposed legislation is a massive transfer of hard-earned
wealth and employment from countries with a responsible ethical,
corporate, and regulatory regime to unregulated jurisdictions."
Our government has some issues with the facts when they don't fit their agenda. Stop the Cap and Trade bill. It has gotten completely out of control.
