1) There are already strict laws on the books pertaining to “pollution”, aka particulate matter, sulfer compounds, soot. Unless you recognize CO2 emissions as a threat to health and human welfare because of it’s greenhouse properties, there’s no way to craft policy or law to deal with it.
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!! WE'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG THAT THE GOVERNMENT, OR THE PEOPLE WHO'VE CORRUPTED IT, HAVE BEEN PUSHING THE SCIENCE TO MEET THEIR AGENDA, WHICH YOU JUST DECRIBED.
GOD DAMN YOU'RE A RETARD
2) Hydrocarbon fuels will be the dominant form of energy for decades to come. We’re far, far away from having zero emission sources of energy play a major role in our energy consumption.
CO2 EFFECTS ARE OVERSTATED DUE TO MODEL ERRORS SPECIFICALLY THE MODELS ASSUME AN INFINITE ATMOSPHERE... RIDICULOUS!!
3) As such, for the next few decades, the goal is to manage CO2 emissions (not eliminate them), while making progress towards zero emissions sources. And by managing them, we’re talking about mitigating it’s effects through conservation, efficiency, and sequestration. Again, this requires a conscious effort to recognize what CO2 does to the atmosphere.
BLAH BLAH BLAH
4) Any public policy pertaining to climate change, not only has to deal with sources of CO2. But also with sinks of CO2. It’s not a one-way closed system, it is an open cycle. Sound energy policy that addresses climate change has to address the CO2 sinks, as well as its sources. That would include national and global policies towards deforestation, rainforest and coral health, and general health of oceanic systems. Yet again, this requires an explicit recognition of the greenhouse properties of CO2 on the atmosphere.
