Global Warming Apostasy!

i like how all the proposed solutions are about making things more expensive and give more power to governments and powerbrokers... control freak lefties being "pro market" in a twisted kind of way.

cheaper more energy efficient house designs - no way, make the current ones more expensive with more gadgets - got to protect the housing market, the fact that the shit designs are mandated by government doesnt come up, more mandates for more expense is the solution.

cheaper more energy efficient cars - no way, got to protect the car industry, the fact that the designs are mandated by government doesnt come up, building small electric city cars on the sly just isnt possible.

if they want me to give a shit and afford it, then give tax breaks to energy efficient stuff and reduce the legislation that forces the expensive crap solutions.

the most sinister aspect of all - carbon trading, a government protected and mandated "market" that makes a whole world of power finance types drool at the prospect of garunteed prices and corrupt deals and trades... a whole new regime of tax they can tweek to modify my income and lifestyle and then claim is not a tax cause its a market, and then refund back to the power industries that have revolving doors and interests in the same government.. legalised corruption.

global warmings got nothing to do with carbon... that much is obvious.

dont even get me started on the "tree planting" .. i thought trees where part of the atmospheric carbon cycle and rotted and burned back into the atmosphere - they shouldnt even be legally able to claim it unless they are burying the cut logs deep under mountains to get squashed back into coal.

its just firing up over here, we will get a carbon trading system so we can be "hip" with the euro's - the inner city bleeding hearts dominate the numbers so its probably going to happen.

most of the environmental damage in the world is from excessive resource exploitation - land clearing and over hunting.

Of course things are changing and the poor pay the most. Water is also wet. Somebody show me a single time in history where the weather was not changing, and they get the kewpie doll.

Most price rises since 2008 had more to do with currency games, though we have indeed had a ghastly set of crop issues of late. But again, when was that not the case?

[Sparky]

Yeah. While we're dealing with truisms, humanity has never been shy of attributing changes in the weather or other natural phenomena to their own actions. Crops failed? Harsh winter? Volcano kicked off? Earthquake levelled your city? We (haven't sacrificed enough to)(have offended) [GENERIC_DEITY]. Perhaps the current wave of hair-shirtism about the environment is just a secular more of the same...

At this rate, the oceans will be deserts in a hundred years. You have bigger things to worry about " at this rate".
