What you fail to grasp is that this is an economic issue. Every nation is competing in the global marketplace. In order for our industries to remain competitive we need every advantage. We deserve to perform on an even playing field. Slapping more regulations on an already highly regulated industrial base is tantamount to fighting a boxing match with one hand tied behind your back.So you want us to wade in out own shit? Damn, that is what you are saying. Because the rest of the world may not do a wise thing, we should continue being foolish? You are a fool.3/4 of the world shits while 1/4 shovel? No thanks...scary is being an idiot with a shovel.The one thing that no one seems to understand about "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" is that everyone on the globe plays a part and if there isn't a global effort then why exactly should I give two shits? That is the idiocy of the western mind. All of this hand wringing and obsessive calls for change when half the damned world could really care less.When American military has to factor in global climate change, that is proof of the pudding. All else is just bluster. And for what?Can it be reversed if it is happening? Many people say no. Concurrently, it would take a global effort and many emerging economies are the biggest culprits. Try getting the Indians and Chinese to reduce their emissions. Not going to happen. So where are we really? I think this all really boils down to more western self flagellation.
Well spoken..if preventable CANCER eats you alive, who gives a shit? Yeah, well like that well, blow it all off. Who gives a shit...pretty scary remark.WhatWhen American military has to factor in global climate change, that is proof of the pudding. All else is just bluster.

Further, since this is global climate change it is rather pointless for our nation to engage in CO2 limitation when places like China and India simply fill the gap with their own.
Get emerging economies to limit their output and then we can have a real conversation. Till then, it is absolutely pointless.
