H8tank Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 There is rising recognition that introduction of a carbon tax under the guise of "cap and trade" will be personally costly, economically disruptive to society and tend to shift classes of jobs offshore. Moreover, despite rising carbon dioxide concentrations, global warming seems to have taken a holiday…. With public perceptions changing so dramatically and quickly it is little wonder Ian Plimer's latest book, Heaven and Earth, Global Warming: The Missing Science, has been received with such enthusiasm and is into its third print run in as many weeks. [it's now up to the fifth printing.]  The public is receptive to an exposé of the many mythologies and false claims associated with anthropogenic global warming and are welcoming an authoritative description of planet Earth and its ever-changing climate in readable language.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 If a tree falls in Brazil, it will, in fact, be heard in the U.S. - at least if a little-noticed provision in the pending climate-change bill in Congress becomes law. As part of the far-reaching climate bill, the House is set to vote Friday on a plan to pay companies billions of dollars not to chop down trees around the world, as a way to reduce global warming.  http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/2...oreign-foliage/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Krugman says you're all traitors. Â Krugman is becoming more and more idiotic. He has completely sold out and lost any relevance he might have once had. What passed the house will do very little if anything to help the environment. Had helping the environment been the goal, then the republican amendment would have passed and we wouldn't have to worry about killing the economy. What the house passed is nothing more than a poorly disguised tax, and a payoff to GE. Â ETA I thought Krugman was an economist. What the hell is he writing about global warming for unless it is about the impact of legislation on the economy, which he clearly ignored in his rant.

Scooby Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think I might need a new job soon or figure out a way to phase the family business of 40+ yrs out of hydrocarbons, natural gas for that matter. Natural gas prices certainly aren't paying the bills right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
