Weasel Loc: In the Great State Of Indiana!!

I do have a background in Biology.
Plants, and trees consume corbondioxide while we sleep. By doing so green house gasses are held at bay.
BUT when corporations dump poisonous waste into streams, rivers, and even over the ground, and in landfills, this believe it or not, KILLS plant life!
When corporations around the world clearcut jungles and forests in millions of acres, what is left to clean the air?
SO in closing, if the EPA actually enforced pollution standards, instead of giving a slap on the wrist and taking bribes, we would not be in the situation that we are in.
So how is giving Billions of dollars to countries around the world going to change things.
CONTROLLING CLIMATE CHANGE DOES NOT COST MONEY! Common sense does!

Your degree in biology does not enhance clear thinking. While it is true that pollution kills plants which consume carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen via photosynthesis, this is not the the engine which drives long term climate change. There is an implicit assumption in your thesis that it is carbon dioxide which causes temperature increases but the science shows that increases in CO2 lag temperature increases by about fifty years.


These climate changes have been going on for millenia, long before there were any men to pollute anything. Carbon Dioxide levels have been several hundred time higher than they are now. There are many causes postulated for these changes with the solar sunspot activity being a strong contender. Tilt of the earth may also figure into the causes. None of these are amenable to any intervention by man.

Correct!
So how is spreading Billions of tax payer dollars around the world going to change that pattern?
And if we clearcut all the trees where will we be.
I am not a tree hugger, I just want toxic dumping to stop. Is that not good for the planet?

I also like a fish sandwich, or a seafood platter now and then, but I don't want to get into that right now.
It all boils down to common sense does'nt it?

Yes, retaining as much forest as possible is a good thing as is not polluting with toxins. However, neither of those is the driver in climate change and these laudable causes should not be linked with fake data and alarmist jackasses who are attempting to profit from the restrictive legislation they demand. Al Gore et. al. specifically.

I am not talking about the driver. I am talking about BILLIONS Of taxpayer money $$$ and the fact that it would be a Waste to even think about turning that much, or any amount over to a fraudulent idea#!
Might I add that John Kerry is an idiot with all his speeches to drag us in to this SCAM!
