'Global Warming' is a Crock of Sh*t

[domer76]

Look. A favorite saying. How cute.

Were they sold out?

[Crepitus]

...and, of course, made up.

I would support the whole idea if its adherents were to proclaim that government taxes and regulations should be dramatically CUT so the people would have the resources they need to respond to the changes. But the Marxists, the Communists, the Socialists, the national Socialists, the Fascists only move one direction. When was the last time you insisted on substantial, across the board tax rate cuts?

So you're going with redirect to taxes? Why not address the issue instead?

How much $#@! can a crock hold?

The issue is the same old, tired Marxists, the Reds, have found a new means to frighten the gullible into handing over more wealth and control.

You tired old Marxists just keep gnawing away at liberty. When we finally do rebel you should plan on some very serious payback.

The problem is that the true believers embrace government and regressive policies to address the issue. If the loons turned it over to the free market (with oversight) their issues would be solved rather quickly.

Anyway, expect more bleating from these people as we get closer to fusion power. After that, these tools have no political hot potato to bank on. Free energy for all is a game changer. The fact that it is clean is nice.

No, it isn't. Because the Energy Luddites will then move the argument to waste heat from all the use of that fusion power.

I question the ability of a free market to accomplish anything in this area. Reason: private companies simply do not have the clout to convince governments to change their ways. Peter, you are doing precisely the same thing the global warming ninnies are doing: reducing solutions to contentless if-then soundbites.

If you ask a GW True Believer: "OK, just exactly what specific measures will you take to reduce global temperatures? OK, now based on those measures you just embraced, how are you going to provide retraining and new jobs for the X million people put out of work? Where will those jobs come from? New green industries? Which ones? And so forth...." they cannot answer you.

Just as you cannot answer me how a free market approach will accomplish this without some very heavy involvement from governments.

For example: goals. Do governments provide a bounty for reaching certain goals? Who pays for that? Isn't that similar to what we have now? If so, then what are you complaining about? If not, how why not?

For example: clout. Company "Hey, we just developed a brand new engine that reduces GW gases by 98%. So everybody needs to retool and stop making the old ones." China: "Fark off."

And what do you mean by oversight? Would that be any different than the proposals currently being shuffled around? If so, how?

Your statement is a true statement. The greens are the old reds.

You mean I'm not the only person who noticed what became of Gorby after he resigned as Soviet dictator?

[OGIS]

Your statement is a true statement. The greens are the old reds.

Right, just because every major scientific institution dealing with climate, ocean, and atmosphere agrees that the climate is warming rapidly and that human co2 emissions are the moist likely cause doesn't mean it's true or anything.

Really, guys. There's is absolutely no logical reason that both cannot be true.

Tin foil on aisle 7!

Do a little research on Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev.

Remember that favorite Marxist tactic? Find a real problem and side with the people being hurt? SOP. I believe that it was mentioned in Alinsky's little book.

Is it too far from your comfort zone to contemplate that the Marxists might actually be organizing around a real problem? And that they are therefore taking ownership of the proposed solutions to it?
