CO2 is not pollution.What's funny is you call us deniers yet can never quite pinpoint what we're supposed to be denying. Here's a fact for you to mull over, there is not a single carbon control program that mandates a reduction in production. Not one. You merely have to pay for the privilege of polluting.
A sulfur dioxide cap-and-trade program was implemented starting in 1995. SO2 emissions are down 40% since then. Hence, it has been conclusively demonstrated that "paying for the privilege" results in reduced pollution.
Now if the reality was as dire as the claims don't you think the pushers of this bullshit would actually try and stop the "polluting" rather than merely profiting from it?
The answer is that you're pushing bullshit there by way of two big lies -- that such programs don't work, and that those pushing them are profiting from it.
However, if you're that dead set against capitalism, the socialist Europeans cut their SO2 emissions 70%, using conventional regulation by government decree. Would that socialist solution be more to your liking, given how the evil capitalist influence has been removed from it?
Retard;
SO2 was mandated to be reduced and scrubbed from US emissions over 25 years ago. They are not allowed to put it into the atmosphere moron... You cant buy that privilege in the US...
But one thing that helped get us there were the pollution trading credits. Never really fully implemented, but it's a viable concept.. The deal is --- if the program WORKS -- sometime in the future you won't need it anymore.
Do you want to make to make plants starve to death and people freeze to death?
How much energy will the sun output in the year 2055? Do you have any proof? Any whatsoever?
If not, then you have just conceded the debate.
Hey.. Hold your fire. I just said that in the post before this one. Maybe you didn't understand the convo. Mammy was talking about cap and trade for CO2 and comparing that to the PREVIOUS cap and trade that was done for REAL pollutants. Like NOx and SOx and particulates. I was referring to THOSE pollution trading credits.
Is it that you guys have itchy trigger fingers?? (yup Muhammed -- that's a joke)..
