If the problem is as bad as they are saying, <BR>> which from what I can gather means that I will die of heat prostration <BR>> or drowning sometime before my natural lifespan would normally arrive, <BR>> then why are we talking about carbon pricing, low-carbon technologies, <BR>> and curbing deforestation? If it's that bad, outlaw coal power plants <BR>> tomorrow. Hell, give those companies that own them free money to <BR>> replace them with the power plant of their choice that uses <BR>> hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear, or whatever other kind <BR>> of greener power plants there are available. Mandate a total ban on the <BR>> internal combustion engine starting ten years from now. Make it illegal <BR>> to buy a new one, and illegal to import one. Sign the damned Kyoto <BR>> protocol and tell the non-complying countries that we'll be nuking their <BR>> worst polluting plants in 20 years, if they don't dismantle them first. <BR>> One a day, with the schedule posted on the Internet. As an added bonus, <BR>> the particulates sent into the upper atmosphere will help cool our <BR>> planet down.<BR>> <BR>> Or could it be that it's not that bad - but there is a lot of money in <BR>> crowing about it? We've been over this ground before, but our biosphere <BR>> is a complicated set of interacting variables that I don't think we can <BR>> model that precisely. However, I would be happy to have our government <BR>> take every penny that we plan on throwing at Iraq next year and throw it <BR>> at electric car research instead. If nothing else, it will make the <BR>> impact of the Middle East on our country decrease instead of the steady <BR>> increase we've seen. Saving our lives later would just be a bonus.<BR>> <BR>> Paul<BR></body>
