Either they really do not believe the scientific projections, or they do know them and this is a desperate, vicious plunder before the demise. Again we have to decide: stupid or evil?

Well, any group that can persuade the U.S. government and the U.S. people to launch an invasion of the Middle East that is not in the interest of the majority of people in the country is not stupid.

Any group that can make and manage and perhaps conceal trillions of dollars worth of control of industrial wealth is definitely not stupid.

They’re definitely not stupid.

What does that leave?

here is the thing which will stall any worldwide agreement on climate action. the 3rd world will look to the west for suppport to help with environmental change which they can blame on the west, and the west wont want to pay.
I travel widley with the oil business, and have seen first hand what is happening in the developing world. the worst place I have seen is Port Harcourt in Nigeria, a city of several millions (nobody has any idea how many people there actually are there). the city streets, which are no more than gaps between the buildings full of holes you could loose a bus in, are absolutley packed solid with cars. the reason for this is cheap petrol, the price of which is fixed by the government at 70 Nira a litre. there are around 150 Nira to the $US, so it works out arround $1.70 a gallon. the average condition of the cars could be described as scrap. the comlpete lack of any proper maintenance of these aging cars leaves them with emissions outputs probably hundreds of times what the manufacturer intended when they made them in the 80’s and 90’s.
for any progress to be made this sort of thing must be stopped. there must be global agreement of enforced emissions controls on cars, and a fuel taxation shceme similar to europe. In the UK (and most of europe) we pay approx $6 per gallon, which makes us very careful about how we use our fuel. this attention to efficiency is what is needed in the US, the people need to accept that energy is expensive.

1) Is the air cleaner today than it was in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000?
2) What is the actually weight of the entire amtosphere?
3) How much previous unused land in 1970 is now paved or developed?
4) How much CO2 is produced from every man, woman and child on this planet just from breathing?
5) Why is that CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas when water vapor is not?
6) Explain why yearly tree growth has increased over the last 20 years.
7) Please explain why the rates of glaucoma have increased 10 fold over the last 5 years?

I have no problem with energy conversation, I hate paying my gas and electric bills. But wouldn’t be ironic that cleaner air legisaltion is actually the true cause of global warming

Now lets phase out those coal plants, like yesterday!

The Reps not only think our attention span is short they think its only lasts two seconds.
