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
