"Can't be done if you never start. "

Ah - but here is the flaw in your logic. It is too late to start if you believe your own rhetoric. I am not a denier of GW - I am an agnostic. What I do know is that if the alarmist rhetoric is true it is too late in ~ 10 years. If we started today it would take at least 10 years to build a nuke power plant. If we spend a fortune on wind and solar it will be noise around the edge.

In the mean time the third world surges on - a coal power plant a week in China - how do we offset that?

As for sequestration - you simply do not know what you are talking about. CO2 is an acid gas and can be scrubbed from flue gas - at great cost in $ and energy. Again the time frame to do it is huge.

In the mean time there are great humanitarian needs in the US and the world. If we had several trillion $ to spend - GW is not where it should be spent.

Now - on the Exxon Free thread the above got me banned in minutes. This shows the idiot mentality of the church of GW. They cannot tolerate the counter view.

I submit - no members of the church of GW can provide a scenario where Kyoto is accomplished that is supported by numbers.

The world has huge needs - huge expenditures on GW is not where world resources should be made.
