If the theory of AGW had any truth to it, the "solution" would not be based on carbon credits. It is totally preposterous that the solution to a danger such as the one promoted all over the globe is to simply pay your way out of the problem. There was an interesting discussion on Fox Business this morning on the Wall St segment. It was brought up with the panel from the Wall St Journal and the vote that McConnell will force in the Senate. When the Dems controlled the Senate that passed Obamacare, it could not get one vote for a global warming bill. They also theorize that when the Dem House passed it, it led to them losing the House. The public falls for the hype until they find out that China and India exempt themselves and what it really means in money and changes.

"If the theory of AGW had any truth to it, the "solution" would not be based on carbon credits" The solution is to quit using fossil fuels, and then eventually capture and sequester atmospheric CO2. Credits are only one tool to get there. = "The Global warming hoax is all about two things." The need for the Koch dealers to sell coal, and the need for Exxon to sell oil and gas.... In July 1988, on page 11 of Sports Illustrated magazine, one story caught the eye of Fred Palmer. Under the headline “ The Foul, Hot Summer,” the article lamented that year’s scorching heat and drought. “We have only ourselves to blame for this midsummer's nightmare. Burning fossil fuels has created many of these environmental ills,” the story read. Palmer was worried. As the boss of Western Fuels Association (WFA), a co-op of coal power generators and haulers, this self-confessed “prairie populist” could see the writing on the wall for his industry. “There was a nationwide heatwave, and I remember it specifically because it ruined a vacation I was going to have on the eastern shore at Chesapeake Bay. The well waters all went dry,” he said. If governments started to get serious about acting on climate change, then coal plants would be the first in line at the chopping block. Just a few weeks earlier, Palmer had watched NASA climate scientist James Hansen deliver what was to become historic testimony before the U.S. Senate. “The greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now,” said Hansen, in a speech that pushed the science of climate change into the public consciousness. Now, even Sports Illustrated was delivering clear-eyed assessments on the science. At the same time, America’s iconic Yellowstone National Park was on fire, in what would become the park’s worst recorded episode of wildfires. “At the time I don’t think people really understood the import of it. But I did understand the import of it. I engaged immediately,” Palmer told DeSmog. And engage he did, helping to form one of the very first fossil fuel–funded campaigns that would directly target the science of climate change in order to influence the public’s understanding. Message 30964189 At the time, '88 was the warmest year. As you can see, we've warmed up quite a bit since then. = "should cause anyone with an IQ over 70 to see the truth." It looks like you are under. = " As a political science major back in the early 70s, we were taught these things would be done" You should have taken a physics class; that's real science. I learned about it in 8th grade, again in HS physics, and again in college physics.
