California takes step to limit greenhouse gas emissions

If you will procure yourself copies of the Temperature and CO2 charts Gore uses to hammer home his agenda and over lay them, you will find that CO2 levels actually follow temperature change not the other way around. If you will investigate the data used for those charts you will find that he altered the data for around 5 thousand years ago when temperature and CO2 levels were much, much higher than they are currently. Yes, the climate changes, it warms, it cools. It has cycles it goes through. It's our pollution of the land, water and air that is an issue for sustainability of life on the planet. Not the cyclical warming and cooling of it. Ever wonder why it has been renamed Climate Change from Global Warming? It's because since the year 2000 there has been a steady cooling taking place which debunks the Global Warming political machine's claims. The sun drives our climate more than anything else. If you read, investigate, educate yourself, you will find that human activity accounts for around .03 percent of the forces driving our climate. And yes, almost all of manufacturing has been moved to third world countries because the Corporate mongers want more money in their coffers at the expense of the environment and labor. They even want to blame cows, some 100 million of them for their farts causing global warming. If you think about it, how can 100 million cows out fart close to seven billion human beings that fart on average 13 times a day. Not to mention the CO2 we exhale with every breath. At one time the Sahara was lush and fruitful. Now it is a desert and growing. Humans didn't make the climate change then. It is part of the cycle. We can't stop it.
What we can do is stop polluting the land, air and water which is ruining livable lands. And stop clear cutting our forests which are responsible for recycling all that CO2 we exhale and turning it into Oxygen. The Climate Change movement is all about power, money and a one world governing body. Plain and simple.

There is a deep well of guilt in the West for the prosperity we enjoy. Our political centre has indeed shifted leftward. I do not argue that those who are eager to believe in AGW are all paid up members of a secret plot. I do think they are overwhelmingly members of an articulate, but feeble-minded liberal middle class, and consider it their duty to educate the ignorant masses about the realities of global warming/pollution/imperialism. It is certainly the case that some among them are absolutely working for the downfall of democratic capitalism. We know that because they say so.

You do not deal with the complete absence in the mainstream media of reference to the scientists who disagree. They are ‘disappeared’ from the scene. That is not the effect merely of these emails. It is the consequence of a media, even a liberal culture which refuses to contemplate the possibility that its fond, cherished beliefs might be wrong. That is really the more charitable interpretation. The less charitable, true I’m afraid of many ‘believers’, is that actually they don’t believe. They recognise AGW as a way of obtaining what they want, and therefore aren’t the least bit interested in open reasoned debate (nor in 'saving the planet'). Hence the lack of interest in technological fixes, nuclear power and so on.

As for subverting the political system, they do not need to. If they can control the public debate, they control politics. What liberals want to subvert is capitalism. Whether we call that a political movement or a conspiracy is much of a muchness.

Climate change is a real issue.
For those who think that this is just a passing fad, you are 100% incorrect.
High CO2 emissions have been linked to higher average temperatures. Higher temperatures are causing glacial melting. When glaciers melt, water is released into open ocean, causing sea level rise. When sea levels rise, land will flood. If you think that the release of CO2 isn't a big deal, you should do some research. Everything is connected.

man this current89 should read the fucking news, climate bs is over, move on , youve been duped , except it or stop fucking breathing out co2

If you are serious about this:

"last time I checked the Third World accounted for like 80% of all pollution and greenhouse gases emitted on Earth."

then check again.

The "horrors" presented by climate change alarmists are all simply changes, not in themselves good or bad. Just a disruption of the status quo, occurring over a period of centuries. Less rain here, more rain there. Desertification here, but a reversal of it there. Even the image of rising sea levels is ludicrously inconsequential. So, Tuvavo might dissappear beneath the waves ( although that event is already running years behind predictions ) but so what, 4000 people live there. They can go live somewhere else. Even if it was 40,000, 400,000 or even 4 million displaced, thats a figure dwarfed by the migrations that occurr world-wide anyway.

So WHAT exactly IS so bad about the worst that can happen? NOTHING!

But theres a more fundamental question for you: "Why the hell should I give a damn". Why the hell should I make sacrifices of lifestyle or materially for the benefit of people I do not know, in another part of the world that has no relevance to me. There is absolutely no rational reason why I, or anyone else, should.

You might say that makes me a selfish person. But thats a moral judgement, not an objective reason as to why I should give a damn. Just for the record, I am a selfish person. EVERYONE is, ultimately. When confronted by the notional dilemma, "We will cause you extreme pain unless you press that button to kill a million unseen strangers", almost EVERYONE will ultimately press that button. Most people deny it, but thats only a self-deception. In fact, ample scientific research demonstrates that it takes far less to get people to commit acts harmful to strangers. Knowing this, I prefer to be honest. I would press the button every time.

So why the hell should I give a damn about climate change?

Which is all beside the matter of whether AGW is legitimate science. It isnt. I do so with no axe to grind, because, as I have declared, I dont give a damn either way.

Neo environmentalism is a symptom of the self loathing perpetuated by the left who hate that which allowed them to flourish. Namely vibrant advanced western democracy.

All the global climate change hype is coming to an end soon. I agree we need to limit pollution, but doing it in the name of climate change is simply supporting a fallacy.

Are they going to take steps to limit the greenhouse gases emitted by the THIRD WORLD!?!?!

Cus last time I checked the Third World accounted for like 80% of all pollution and greenhouse gases emitted on Earth. If you wanna make your state seem holier than thou, by all means. If you wanna actually DO SOMETHING about the problem you have to do something about the Third World.

This is a fucking joke.

every step counts
