skookerbil,
What happens if global warming turns out to be true?
A moot point my friend.
Mathew.....you gotta go back and read Plato, Hobbes and Sir Thomas Moore among others to better understand the mindset of the folks who support radical climate change action. To me, you cant even come in here to debate this stuff without having that as part of the foundation for understanding the climate change dynamic. Marx too......who by the way, never wrote dick about the application of the economics to his endgame, which most people have no clue about. The climate k00ks in here love that guy too. While you are at it, go google some of the on-line UN training guides for developing countries.......they are ALL about wealth distribution with use of climate change policies as a major vehicle. Don't take my word for it......check it out for yourself. Every climate change nut embraces this classless society idea as the ultimate utopia. Make no mistake......they loath capitalism and carbon tax policy is simply another step in the destruction of the capitalistic system they would love to see abolished.
Secondly......there is zero evidence that anything the community of nations do will reverse the effects of man-made global warming.......and that's if the man-made part can be proven.......which it cant be.
Most importantly.......civilized societies simply will never.......and I mean, NEVER make the changes necessary based upon computer models that have frequently been proven to be highly inaccurate. We live in an industrialized society and with it comes standard of living expectations. Try telling the public about the myriad of 21st century conveniences theyd have to give up in an effort to reverse a
"maybe" of the future. World governments aren't going to go for that level of civil unrest, "Oh......and Im taking my executive order privileges to ban cell phones starting tomorrow!! Since we need to take seriously our efforts to stave off global warming, all plastics will cease to be produced tomorrow!". Tell truck drivers they gotta move food across country using horse and buggy. Ground the jetliners. Force people to bike to work. Yup.....ahhh........that'll be embraced by most everybody!!!
Matthew......bottom line? In the coming decades, innovation in technology will emerge and people will laugh their asses off looking back at the early 2000's when a bunch of k00ks were pushing for 17th century energy idea's like solar power and wind power. Until then, the costs are prohibitive, thus, the science isn't going to matter.
