[Fot] Global Warming

[Bill Babcock]

Not true at all. spend a little time looking at the Kyoto accords and  
other political resolutions to global warming. It's economic warfare.  
we sent nitwits to the bargaining table and wound up getting screwed.

To really change the huge things that might currently impact the  
environment and might impact it in the future will require enormous  
expenditure of resources, and control (probably repression) of  
economic and social changes in the third world. When ten percent of  
chinese have cars, might that be important? Will india stop  
installing diesel generators throughout their country? Who's going to  
make them stop.

We can't get the Japanese to stop killing whales and dolphins, or the  
russians to stop spewing freon--how are these changes going to  
happen. Does the USA act alone and just sacrifice our economy on the  
alter of "maybe". And would you really appreciate the consequences.  
I'm fully aware that there are simple things that can be done. Fine,  
do them and feel good. I do. but I don't really expect them to be  
significant.

Personally, I don't know whether or not mankind contributes  
significantly to climate change. I do know that turning the entire  
inquiry into left vs. right, greens vs. big oil, whoever vs. whatever  
means that it's going to be very hard to figure out what's real and  
what should be done. Al Gore did the environment no favors. He's just  
another politician. And politicians are just like marketers--they lie.

(So tell me Bill, how did you make your money?)
