Business vs Environment Stalemate?

Posted June 12, 2009 7:20 AM

The Endangered Species Act protects polar bears from many human actions, but both the Bush, and now more recently, the Obama administrations prevented using the law to impose Climate Change-related limits on greenhouse gas emissions. The leading global emitter of greenhouse gases, the U.S. has shied away from global warming conference tables and failed to set deadlines to talk or to act. But deadlines may not lead to action anyway. Other issues are still debated: Is the cost of limiting or scrubbing emissions too high? Is there still uncertainty that cutting emissions will actually work? How do we break the Business vs Environment stalemate?

To break the "Business vs. Environmental" stalemate the government and general public must be educated to the HOAX of human created global warming. Our global climate is cyclical; proper, objective evaluation of scientific facts proves this. The "green" movement has been growing since the counterculture days of the late 1960's. It is a "feel good" movement without hard scientific data; merely "cherry picked" and "subjectivised" environmental reports packaged and sold to a gullible American People.

I'm tired of everyone takling about green technology. If you really want green technology, become Amish otherwise just shut up. If someone really believes that we as humans have actually caused global warming then I say they are rather simple minded and have not looked into the science of nature at all. Oh, I see nothing wrong with having clean air to breathe and actually I kinda of like clean air, but I don't throw garbage out of the car when I'm driving along the highways either. This is the type thing I do that has an effect on my little piece of the world. There's little we can do to change the normal cycles of mother nature no matter what Al Gore says. The next thing I'm waiting for is a law forbidding peeing in the ocean because the water temperature has been rising over time or maybe imposing a fine on any state or nation that allows volcanoes to errupt and spew that nasty sulphorus gas and ash all over the place.

reply #2: stay on point, the question was: what will break the "business vs. environmental" stalemate....not a rant about what is politically correct

i think that was his point. politicall "incorrectness" has subverted the laws of physics......and "environmentalists" have used parts of the word for their own adgenda, and have left the rest of us to live in what is left of the word.......

the truth will cost you..... the sarcsm is free.....
