Perhaps a cleaner world, surely a world with with a declining economy under central control and progressively less able to invent and produce the technologies to deal with environmental problems. And relatively, we will be capping and cutting down western economies just as the ever more polluting Chinese and Indian economies overtake the West with some nasty political ramifications. No amount of centrally directed or “free market” advance can do anything about the increasing output of the Sun which is seen to be warming up the other planets right along with ours.If there be too much heat or an ice age in our future then it is to humanity’s benefit for technology to continue to develop unhindered and for the world to get richer as fast as possible to be able to afford the changes that will have to be made to survive these things. Putting hobbles on its legs will defeat that and drastically slow innovation and our ability to pay for what maybe necessary in the future. Nuclear energy in the long term is certainly necessary both for slowing the production of carbon emissions (barking up a very wrong tree) and for developing humanity’s ability to deal with any sort of massive climate change In the shorter term we should be taking all the oil we can get out of ANWR and off our coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico and mining that clean coal that Bill Clinton sequestered for his own enrichment to reduce the costs of developing those new technologies. Shutting down the economy will NOT do anything to fight Global Warming but will promote the economic supremacy of China which will increase pollution in the world exponentially.
Now suppose we are wrong about the ETs already being here and preparing to conquer Earth...
John Kerry?? Is he still alive? I heard he was killed in Vietnam.
Not pointing to state specific. The fury has gained
national attention. Hucster’s godliness has been
questioned as with Hillary & McCain. I’m a Southern
Baptist pastor (staunch conservative in faith & politics).
I voted for Mitt, (a member of what I consider to be a
cult). America is in a sad state of affair and God
will get somehow get our attention. Pehaps the
calamities that are surely to come will bring about
national repentance and a great spiritual awakening.
It’s our only hope at this point!
I'm sure my passing gas can be blamed on global warming.
No wait...now that I think about it, it may be the other way around. Darn it.
Sign the 1080, AH
He’s been watching the Wizard of Oz too many times I fear (and imagining he’s Dorothy).
Does he blame global warming for the one’s on Jupiter as well?
Pouring 12,000,000 gallons of Heinz 57 Sauce in the eye of the thing might just stop it.....oh wait, that would make him even more money......
McCain makes me angry every time I see his face. I can not stand the guy.
So Kerry is trying to out Gore Al Gore and we have never had tornadoes before?
The claim that 1998 was the hottest was corrected by NASA when they found a mistake in their formula a few months back.
I empathize. Though I do not hate McCain...just his liberal policies and liberal conduct.
That's not to say I don't get the urge to make him the butt of my satire... ;-)
Good post. No doubt the results of their folly will destroy the USA as we know it.
I do wonder about McCain’s “cleaner world” mantra. Is carbon dioxide “dirty”?
Thank you for posting that headline, gave me a good chuckle.
It’s that galdarn jet stream...if we could just keep the jets oot the stream!
So what caused tornados before global warming, Senator?
Stupid is as stupid does.... Letter to Senator Kerry, tornadoes, including really bad ones, have been around for a lot longer than mankind has had any technology or even been an contributor to CO2 emissions...
Get over it. Your tired Global Warming crap is old, stale, and wrong. Shut your pie hole and take your “buddy” Al Gore with you...
