Do Senate leaders really think this is a good solution to the country’s energy crisis and global warming? George F. Will writes a very poignant article on the bill that was being debated in the Senate this week. You can read it here. Talk about increasing the bureacracy and size of the federal government… also government control over private business. No good in my eyes.
Do I believe climate change happens and is happening? Yes. Do I believe that we should do all we can to reduce emmissions, be responsible in our use of natural resources and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills? Yes, I most defintely do. Do I believe that humans are the cause of “global warming” and that we are doomed if we don’t do something drastic now? Nope. I have yet to read anything (convincing) which backs up claims that global warming is happening or that humans have any direct effect on global temperatures.
I wasn’t alive back in the 1970s, but maybe some of you that are reading this were. Any of you recall the global cooling scare?
Oh cousin! You just touched a nerve there. I am currently far too busy with assignments and LSAT prep to engage in any sort of global warming debate with you, but give me about a week-and-a-half when all this stuff is over and I will happily engage in an argument with you. Until then, please do your best to synthesize a cogent argument why global warming is not occurring or why current evidence is not convincing enough for you.
