My reason is simple: whatever we do will have no effect at all.<br /><br />China (1 billion+), Russia, India (1 billion+) and Indonesia (1 billion+) are all telling us to get stuffed when it comes to curbing CO2 output. No matter what we and the cross-dressers in Europe do, we won't have any significant impact on global CO2. Meanwhile, we'll hogtie our economy trying to accomplish nothing.<br /><br />It's not a question of whether or not global warming is happening (I'm becoming a skeptic) it's just a matter of the ROI.<br /><br />Finally, I suggest that the US is the greatest force for good in the world. Why give us fewer resources (wealth) in order to do that good?K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-35654472374254655842009-08-17T21:28:26.196-07:002009-08-17T21:28:26.196-07:00You said that the present global is probably preve...You said that the present global is probably preventing an ice age. Many authorities take the opposite view. They believe the melting of the glaciers and the surge of cold fresh water causes a disruption of the Atlantic current which cuts off the heat to N. Europe causing an ice age. About 10,00 BC, the melt water from the glacier covering northern N America poured into the Mississippi basin. When the glacier melted to the point where much of the melt water flowed down the St Lawrence, disrupting the Atlantic current, we can see in geological records a hellish climatic period on the Atlantic coast. Prior to the last mini ice age, the glaciers of Greenland had receded sufficiently for extensive colonization again disrupting the Atlantic current.eriehmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065403015106231776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-76537319896560788942009-08-17T10:22:59.278-07:002009-08-17T10:22:59.278-07:00B-Daddy,

Unfortunately, the lowering of income tax part of the equation is far more problematic, as you are aware.<br /><br />Even if a lowering of income taxes were enacted, it would come with a sunset clause of some other legislative chicanery we see more and more of in Congress.<br /><br />Link forthcoming.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448369692335981936noreply@blogger.com
