What part of that says that we must implement command and control policies that will be extremely expensive and disruptive in order to achieve minuscule impact on the problem?
I'm quite certain that if we turned the free market loose to find solutions, we'd have better answers (more impact for less negative consequences) in 10 years than the command-and-control approach has produced in the last 50 years.
I think climate change is real. I don't know if the long-term effects are as dire as the fear-mongers are claiming. But I do know that free enterprise is geared to come up with solutions instead of problems, and right now all we are getting is a lot of gnashing and moaning about problems with precious little in the way of effective solutions.
Of course the climate changes. Only a dummy would think it doesn't. However what you're talking about is called global warming, or cooling if this were the 70's.
I'm sick of hearing the same old dumb arguments from you guys and I hope those of you who truly need this have the chest to actually watch it.
if you're sick of it, just stay away and ignore the board.....
it's strange to start another thread that has been argued to ad nauseam....more specifically using a video from 2014....
also, nice vagueness your highness.....what are attempting to argue?
most on this board are in agreement the 'why' has yet to be fully defined
I also don't remember anyone arguing against developing alternative energy sources to help relieve dependence on fossil fuel demand
all the guy is arguing is to invest in alternative forms sooner than later.....last time I checked, that's happening
hopefully, you understand that if humans are actually responsible for warming, then reducing the population is the only logical conclusion as a solution in conjunction with clean energy solutions....and more puppies are being generated every day...
Which is how come I sometimes think we humans as a species are comparable to termites or pine beetles.
all we do is attempt to communicate better after building the 'mounds'.....it's the 'advantage' that so many do not realize....
oh wellzy......
