Coming to the main discussion, I watched this documentary yesterday. Its called "The Great Global Warming Swindle." Its on you tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeY8oqAGhyA It is in 8 parts. You can find the links to all the parts at the link above.
The guy in the documentary makes a lot of sense. There is a lot of money to be made in Climate Science. Now they have this whole idea of trading "Carbon Credits." Under this scam (
ooops I mean scheme) everyone will be allotted quotas for the amount of carbon they can produce. They will be charged for anything exceeding the quota and will be able to sell whatever is left of their quota.
Those who believe that America is finally giving in to the whole Carbon-emissions crap, need to realize the people behind this new scam. Its the big oil companies again. They have come to realize how much money is there to be made in the new "Green Economy."
Big Oil teaming with Marxist Environmentalists seems like an odd couple to me. But, it is a marriage of convenience. Big Oil gets to continue making loads of money at the cost of the consumer and the Marxist Environmentalists keep getting their cut of the loot in terms of donations and research grants.
As the dogs fight over a bone, I feel the only group left out is the consumers. Who is looking out for the consumers?
I believe that the right way to solve the problem is by the means of innovation. Energy saving technologies need more attention. By making consumers pay for their supposed carbon emmission and then transferring that money to Big Oil, Environmental groups, and Wall Street Hucksters is not the way to go.
Where will this nonsesne stop? Today they are thinking about making us pay for the air we breathe out. Someday they will make us pay for the air we breathe.
