Al Gore, and Jacques Chirac both want something.
I have no doubt that Mr. Gore fully believes in what he is spouting. Too bad he is not doing it about Islamists, but of course that's one of the problems that democrats at the national level seem never to be able to overcome. Given a choice of two courses, the democrats seem always to intuit which one will be more painful for the people of the USA, and come under the guise of selfless sacrifice here and helping those elsewhere.
This brings us to one problem of global warming.
Those who believe in it, essentially believe that to help avoid it getting worse (let alone solve it) we should essentially freeze in the dark, while riding bicycles to work.
Any takers?
I thought not.
The other problem is Mr. Chirac. He demands that we kowtow to a committee decision based on (potentially) politically inspired conclusions, when our own industries seem to be able to exceed the standards to be imposed by this committee on their own, and don't matter anyway since the largest growing national heat sources, Communist China (just as the USSR and Warsaw Pact were the worst polluters) ignore the whole damn thing anyway in the name of deprived third world growth in what amounts to a zero sum game.
Both of these propositions and courses will fail 100% of the time in fixing a problem that may not exist. That's another argument however. I am always skeptical of any scientific thesis. All should be. That's why the PhD test is a DEFENSE of your thesis. I don't wan to go there today, because, it doesn't matter.
Whether or not humans are making global warming occur, or occur faster doesn't matter.
That's right.
Whether or not there is warming going on of a large, climate changing, permanent nature has no bearing on how we should behave and respond in adding CO2 and heat to the world environment.
