What comes across to me from you Lazarus, is that you are not an optimist and have a dim view of humanity's ability to right itself.
What comes across from you len, is that your eyesight is dim and you can't see reality. It's a disease caused by liberalism.
I am very optimistic, and believe with the proper focus and application, we will lessen our effects on the earth.
China and India will come around. They are in a hypergrowth phase right now.
I will agree with that. Estimates are for 9.2 billion in 2050. About half a lifetime out.
How you going to even feed them, much less give them a decent standard of living? This would be a problem even if we DON'T accept the perverted artificial inefficiencies of going green. And YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME why the biggest producer of greenhouse gases (China) got a a total pass in the Kyoto Treaty. And how to make "green" electronic chips.
Keep in mind, they are stocking their country with some of the newest and more efficient technologies.
Like the ones longnshort's posts cite? If you have him on ignore, you'd better take him off. You are doing no better here than on all the other questions I put to you that I never got answers to.
The mining industry has held sway over our government since the 1800s.
You got a better way of getting minerals. And I can't imagine a more incorrect statement than the one you made, anyway.
I assume you're trying to imply their enormous economic sway allows them to dictate to Congress and the President.

As you can see, they account for about 1% - 2% of GNP. Some sway.
This is slowly changing. They cannot do their thing and walk away leaving the taxpayers to foot the bill for the clean up.
Here's your "contributors", lennie:

BTW, YOU, whether you like or not, are going to pay. As that old saying has it, corporations don't pay taxes, they collect them. If they see that tax expense coming (these poor suckers apparently got blinsided), they will increase prices to fund the eventual payment. And get the money from YOU.
Lazarus, it is time for you to rise from the dead.
len, it is time for you to wake up and smell the cordite smoke. |
