re: #718 Desert Dog

I am not a creationist and neither are 10’s of millions of other’s just like me. We listen to scientists. We hear that. It’s when the solutions offered up come into play. You think that taxing the sh*t out of business is no big deal. Punitive taxes on energy will cost everyone in this country…and not just monetarily.

Don’t confuse science with your politics. They are not one in the same. And, plugging up your ears and eyes to that fact will not make your solutions any better. I reject the idea that we must give up our prosperity to solve this problem.

But, if you have turned this into a religion instead of science (and the fervor is evidently religious) then it becomes like a theology, complete with good and bad, rewards and penance. A lot of these AGW proponents have turned this into a religion, and paying fines and carbon credits are no better than tiding and indulgences.

The science is sound, the possible outcomes varied, too bad, in some cases the motives are very suspect.
