Fed Up

Common sense should tell,by now, it is hard to believe any thing from our government. To cut back carbon, to the 60's levels, with the populations growing, I don't see how that would be possible. Health care, more about control then care. India and China will not go along with anything, if it requires verifications by anybody. All the other, smaller nations want more money and don't really care about climate control. The American government only wants health care and carbon emissions control, for exactly that, control. China will, more than likely, have a big say in what, when and how, the Obama administration spends money. The way the administration wants to go is to make the U.S. more like Germany. All the health care and climate change(man made global warming) is government made, so maybe it is man made. To draw 490 billion out of social security, to get universal health care, does not make any sense but if rationing health care is the goal, than it does make sense. To have our carbon levels be the same as the 60's, don't make any sense but if control of energy is the goal then it makes prefect sense. All that we have heard from Washington, in the last year, is to control health care and control energy, nothing that would help moving forward, as a matter of fact, it would be moving backward. China is using their abundant resource, coal. We have oil and coal, yet all of the government agencies will not let us use our resources, at all. We will never find a alternative fuel source, this way because all the technology will be stagnate. We will not have the will or means to move forward. The government will stop all technology that would lead to a fuel that is renewable because they can't control it. Wind power is said to bother the birds. Solar power, is not allow to be put in the desert because of an adverse effect on insects and what every wildlife is there. The environmentalist are against everything, no one can figure out what they are fore. The EPA is the worst agency that was ever started. The EPA is operated by any and all political hacks that the party in power puts in to run it. The problem with saying CO2 is bad make it okay to stop or reverse all technology. The question is, at what point does the cutting CO2 become dangerous to the plants and people. No one is asking that question. At some point, the lack of CO2 will hamper plant growth and ability of plants to produce oxygen. So cutting levels of CO2 may solve all the problems, health care, zero population growth and of course, global warming, because an oxygen deprived environment, no carbon based life form can survive. Think about that , cutting carbon, and we and all animals are, just what they want to cut, carbon based life forms. Silly isn't it? Can carbon be that bad? Is higher carbon amounts, what is needed to live? Maybe it forces plants to grow faster, bigger and makes plants to put out more oxygen. That is not any more off base then CO2 needs to be controlled .

Government & Global Anything

Common sense should tell you that the government is backing climate change(global warming), not because they believe it, and they may, but to get more control over the economy. Global warming, global cooling or global anything, the government does not care, its only interest, is the ability to control energy. Even if we give tax money to the government, to lower CO2, all the bills, all the laws and all the regulations, will not lower anything. Cap-n-trade, for instance, allows CO2 emissions to raise, they will just charge you more taxes for that emission. How does that help lower CO2? It doesn't. As several are saying, at this time we do not have the technology for alternative energy. Until we can come up with a energy source, other then coal or oil, that works as well is coal and oil do, we have to go with what we have. The environmentalist now have a problem with solar and wind power, not that will produce enough energy to take the place of coal and oil, but we can't put solar in the desert because it might bother the insects and any animals, that might be there. The problem with wind, they say that it bothers the birds. I have said before, the environmentalist are against almost everything. Putting carbon output limits on every individuals will not work because we as individuals, may not be able to control all of our carbon outputs. Putting a carbon output on a power plant, as a public utility, can not be shut down, it can however, be forced it to limits of output or higher taxes, at any rate, it will be just regulations on the people. Congress and the Senate members, will not be asked to limit their output. So I can't say if global warming is happening or not, but I know giving the government money or the power the regulate energy, will only make us poorer in either money or energy. Through conservation, we can reduce CO2 output, by just being smarter, we don't need the government to take our money or back off our energy supply. The population will keep going up and we will need more energy. We should not go backwards, always forward.
Thanks

The Economy

Common sense should tell all, that the economy will not come back as long as unemployment is at double digits. All of this promised green job are not in the cards. Carbon tax, cap-n-trade and the effort to reduce the carbon foot print of all persons, will do nothing, to create jobs or help the economy. All that will talk about it honestly, will tell you that it is a backward step, into the 60's, maybe late 50's and the biggest thing, a job killer. It make little difference how the stocks are doing, they don't create jobs. Everything that is proposed by this administration, is a job killer. The health care bill is a job killer. Who wants to hire more or expand, if they are not sure of the cost. They know that there will be a tax increase but not sure how much. The uncertainty is the job killer. The very worst thing is all the people that wants the military to come home, I to would like them not to be in a war but come home, to what, unemployment at 10% and when they leave the military, what then, higher unemployment? There is no light at the end of the tunnel, with this administration, all the same thing, it will get better but everything that they want will have a adverse effect on the economy. I was in hopes of something better but it is just politics as usual. We better be careful, we can't afford the return to the 60's with 2001 prices. If it happens, remember, you voted them in, I hope that you can vote them out, before they implement their programs. One step forward and six giant steps back to the 60's. Can we live through them again? Do we want to try? Lots of questions and no answers.
Thanks

Research

Common sense should tell you that this country has no real researchers any more. A scientist starts with a question, like is there weather change, hot or cold, and starts from there, not to prove there is but to see if it is fact. Now days they all start with a answer, like there is weather change and set out to prove there is and what causes it. It would not make any difference if it was colder or hotter, if grant money is at stake, they will make sure it turns out the way the grantor's what it to be. The thing is that if ones starts out believing that the globe is getting warmer, then everything that ones sees, hears and reads will go to prove that he is right. If one believes that the globe is cooling than everything thing he sees, hears and reads will go to prove that cooling is right. No one, today, will go where the facts lead, not try to bend the facts to the believes that one may have. It is the start of the decline of facts, when the ones that we depend on start putting out anything for political favors or grant money gains. If politicians have the ability to get scientist to say or bend facts to their liking, we won't be able to rely on anyone, we won't be able to tell what is lie or what is the truth. We can't believe the media anymore, will most of them, don't get me wrong, I don't say they lie, they just won't report on certain things, that would be helpful to know. The one sided reporting is getting old and people just want to hear everything and make up their own minds. We, now are spoon feed what the media wants us to know and some walk around thinking that is all and everything. Dig deeper, because they won't.
Thanks
