Snowshoe all I'm saying is that we should put our best foot forward. And it should be coordinated by the federal government, that would dispense with a lot of the state problems. Look what we did in World War II, 24 months after we were attacked by Hitler we had a military machine destined to win the war. All I'm saying is that among the top atmospheric scientists in the world from everything I've read this is settled science.. Now I don't know how we can end this debate when we have this gigantic lobby for carbon producers doing everything they can to distort the truth of the scientific findings. We saw this exact same phenomenon take place with cigarettes. Look at how long they continued that debate and it was all a bunch of nonsense. And they ALL lied under oath. Remember them raising their hands in congress? But this time it isn't just some individual people that are going to die early , this is the welfare of the entire planet. One way we might do it, would be to reach out to the recognized top 100 climatologists in the world and top 100 universities and have them get together and submit an opinion of probability, time frames and feedback loops. They actually have done a lot of that, but it just keeps getting distorted and that puts the entire human species in danger. And once they made the decision they need to do about something about it, then they need to analyze their options. I've gone through this process three different times in my life with regard to state government. I was presented with a problem and I had to figure how to solve it and I used incentive programs and advisory councils, democracy. We need to do the same thing with global warming. All I'm saying is that we need to be serious about it and then we need to go forward based on what the scientists advises us to do. We need to take thought out action. We can't have some congressional leader beholden to Exxon writing the policy on global warming. That's exactly what we have right now in the Republican congress.
