Global climate change is NOT a THREAT to US security. That's neo-con talk! That is ontologically and grammatically an impossible sentence! It implies that all people who oppose the US economic interests outside the US borders are a security threat which becomes more real with climate change. Americans have no place in defining what political action is a threat to them outside their borders. Thank you!

Carbon Taxes are bullshit. What we need is an 'Apollo Mission' to renewable energy independance and, it needs to be on the micro, not macro level. This means we need to empower the individual, world-wide, to be able to produce his/her own electricity/fuel. The technology for this already exists. All we need is the will & the commitment to make it happen. We need real leaders who will make this their #1 priority.

Government tax carbon scam end the fed

Global warming is a lie, if you want the best and easiest way to tell if Co2 is a green house gas....

Take a Co2 cannister for like a BB gun or something like that, pop a whole in it and feel, does that gas come out warm or cold? Always comes out cold.... Another way to tell this fraud is look at Co2, it's less dense than Oxygen, Density=insulation, Insulation= held in heat from the sun

No, nuclear power stations are the big security issue: They made up the fiction of GW, to give CO2, the gas of life, a bad name. More CO2, more life on Earth. More nuclear power, less.

[Jonathan Thomason]

Life on Earth without global warming from water vapour would nmot be possible. CO2 haS NO effect - that ide was invented by nuclear power, to get more plants of death built.

Wow, JonThm, I applaud your blind adherence to your beliefs in the face of basic facts (i.e. global warming science started at *least* as far back as 1896, which predates nuclear power). Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

[Jonathan Thomason]

Nuclear power made up 'Global WArming', to be publisised by the stupid.

global cooling has resettled, and climates have fluxuated to global warming again. forget the salmon, tuck your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye, mother nature has come to give mankind's behind a paddling!

lol jk, alternative energy sources are necessary because obviously heavy reliance on fossil fuels, or any other source, is just asking for a disaster if anything should change. although taxing our CO2 activity won't help either; a fraud with a natural coincidence to support.

[aytherix]

That'd be the plan alright. Global warming and global cooling are cycles the solar system goes through, and our cars' CO2 obviously doesn't affect our neighboring planets.

Although, some people just wanna feel they're doing something for the world by driving a hybrid. they could just help the world by farting less.

correct but those against what you described BurningSerpent tend to take the tactic of refusing global warming and that is a loosing tactic. The one who leads chooses the designation. Do you wait for US military leadership? What General Zinni said was true.

compassion requires early intervention. Shattered and broken people are like clay, but in whose hands?
