Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution (Popular Technology)
http://www.populartechnology.net/2008/11/carbon-dioxide-co2-is-not-pollution....

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not pollution and Global Warming has nothing to do with pollution. The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Pollution is already regulated under the Clean Air Act and regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will do absolutely nothing to make the air you breath "cleaner". Regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) through either 'Carbon Taxes' or 'Cap and Trade' policies will simply make energy (electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, heating oil ect...) much more expensive and severely cripple the economy.

Stop sending Trillions to foreign oil countries & start using our own. Better do it now, or $5gas will cause an economic mess. Watch the unemployment start to SKYROCKET just like Obama's wish for energy prices to SKYROCKET.

Such a short-sighted and naive lot of you who think $10gas is good for any economy in any nation. Keynesian economics will only lead to inflation of all commodities. Let's be the Industrial Leader of the World in Manufacturing once again; Service Economy is Sure Failure!

John R. Christy has been accused of recanting his position that climate change is neither Anthropogenic nor Catastrophic, but he didn’t. He used two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite for his findings. (see links in my about me) Later he only stated that there was some anthropogenic impact that could not be predicted 100 years out, but that what we’re doing was good for the plants.

1 /2 Obama stop offshore drilling until it was reinstated. This could cause a $5 a gallon increase, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. Cap and Trade (American Power Act) would increase gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute& taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC Foreign countries price gouge w/ gas prices to $10/gal!.

The big purple elephant in the room is Europe and how abysmal the carbon credit system turned out to for them. No seems to mention that. Hmm ... wonder why

[vechorik]

Hate the wealthy? Give to the less fortunate? "Even the playing field" ?

Here are average yearly incomes of several countries:

Brazil $8,135

Venezuela $11,444

India $1,054

China $3,212

USA $45,835

To even the playing field, we must "de-develop the USA" , redistribute the wealth globally (take your income) vis cap and trade and other measures. How does socialism look to you now? It's not taking money from the wealthy -- it's taking your money!

[bondsly]

Not only will cap and trade cost more just like his government health care it means the government will have more control over everyones life just like Obama taking over all the major industries does everyone want to invest knowing the government is watching you and has control now over banks and financial institutions.

[b1naryd1g1t5]

Does anyone else not find it scary that the President of the United States is calling for "sky-rocketing" energy prices during a recession? Forget the recession, I find it scary that any President would call for sky-rocketing prices any time.

Democrats, how's that for protecting the working man? You idiot Democrats are just pawns in the elitist liberal game.

[ejthetiger]

This is insanity, lunacy, and ABUSE of the citizenry. And based on the LIE of global warming.
