Fair enough.
I'm not a greenie nutter. I know what it means to condemn an economy. I saw my father laid off from a job in a shipyard because our government and the company he worked for were incompetent (didn't scan far enough to see Japan's shipbuilding industry taking over). I'm not advocating shutting anything down and tossing workers on the scrapheap. I'm simply saying we need to sit down and think about what we can do now and in the future and to plan to try to reduce harmful effects on our environment. If we start thinking about it now we can avoid shutting down industries and tossing people out of work.
Do some research, PLEASE. The US is leading the world in emission controls and in finding new and better ways to further control said emissions. Check out Kyoto. The US even though it never signed is the closest of all the nations under the treaty to meeting the goals of said treaty, meanwhile the signatories are not meeting the goals and NOT paying the price for failure, in other words IGNORING the treaty they agreed to.
