Stop exhaling.

[EternalVigilance]

I think the enviros need to stop inhaling.

Environmentalism is a form of socialism. Its goals are the same... mass impoverishment in the name of a higher good.

Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Going considerably further, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has urged a 60 percent reduction.

I would wager tha 40% of the global production of CO2 by humans is from respiration. Is that is all that is to be left to us? That we be allowed to continue breathing? Or does the UN have a plan for that, too?

[EternalVigilance]

Yep. The Reds went Green, but the goal remains the same.

I think I’ll make that my tagline...

[EternalVigilance]

That we be allowed to continue breathing? Or does the UN have a plan for that, too?

Well...

Thanks for posting this. It is absolutely imperative that this kind of information be widely disemmenated. Too many folks think that all they have to do to fight global warming is buy the new light bulbs. They simply do not see the radical changes in life style necessary to implement the environmentalist agenda.

I would like to see an article that takes this a step further and describes how life would be if these steps were taken.

Just read something that describes life in medieval Europe.

[gridlock]

Well...

Yeah, I know... Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer.

[gridlock]

There is no way to enforce reductions of this level without complete centralized control over the economy.

And though the Greenies just hate to do that, if it is what it takes to save Momma Earth, well, it will just have to be...

Never trust somebody who comes up with yet another theory about why it is vitally important that you immediately do what he wanted you to do all along.

Man-Made Global Warming, Ethanol as Fuel, Soy products as fuel. These are all just socialist hooey designed to further the cause of the global re-distribution of wealth.

It’s too bad Ayn Rand isn’t alive today. Her voice is certainly needed although she saw the final result of the Left’s philosophy long ago. What’s being proposed
by the enviros makes Pol Pot’s Cambodia look like a blueprint for their future plans for mankind.

Bring this to China and Russia attention see how far you get, If thier on board we will jump on board but until then GO CRATCH! we conserve while all others abuse? Gee that makes sense!

[Lowcountry]

Yep. The Reds went Green, but the goal remains the same.

They are called WATERMELONS - green on the outside, red in the middle.

Britain's Stern Review, published in the fall of 2006, seeks a reduction of 25 percent by the year 2050. Going considerably further, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has urged a 60 percent reduction.

I'd bet even a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions from today's level does not take the world back to the emissions level from before the temperature "hockey stick" curve occurs, which they believe human emitted CO2 is causing.

Obviously these people are more interested in reducing modern man to animals than in science.

I have always believed that Kyoto => Increased Unemployment => Increased Poverty => Increased Homelessness => Increased Crime => Increased Murder and Rape. Well George Reisman, Ph.D. makes a solid case that Kyoto will also lead to genecide. I would not be surprised if the UN has plans to prevent 60% of the population from breathing. Socialist don’t mind genecide if it helps them meet their Kyoto targets.
