There's significant doubt that it's warming, and the idea that CO2 is the cause is just silly.
If we can reduce CO2 WITHOUT harming the economy (operative idea there) it would be a way to help a little and offset any possible impact we may have down the road.
Well, we can't, and there's no reason to. The whole thing is a hoax, and I completely reject the idiotic premise. Human-generated CO2 has zero effect on climate.
Again anything we can do that won't impact our lifestyle and economy.
No such thing. Anything we do will impact our lifestyle and economy, otherwise it wouldn't be "doing" anything.
The effect of man and CO2 output is the “debate” that catches the attention though so it is lumped together. It appears that this is a natural cycle despite what Al Gore and the UN say. So I actually agree with you on that.
However saying we should reduce CO2 in ways that in the end increase efficiency without really impacting things cost wise in the long run is a good position to hold for a politician of any stripe. No where to you see Thompson say he wants to “Al Gore” us. But since it will reduce dependence on oil and foster some research into other means of power, if we can take a little advantage of the hoopla, all the better. And yes, it can actually cost less if done right. Again, not the “Al Gore/UN shut it all down NOW” way..
Anyways, the internal combustion engine has gotten boring, I have turbo charged it, super charged it and everything in between (should be a hint that I am not an enviro wacko, I am a carbon footprint, size 10 million)
I want the Tesla Roadster to come out in a more affordable form...
