re: #706 kittysaidwoof

That’s the thing. It was supposed to be a big problem not something relatively easily overcome. Linkola was telling even then that the best way to combat it was genocide. If AGW is like Acid Rain then what’s the drama for. Fix it and move on. But of course AGW is supposed to be much bigger problem and it likely is.

It was only supposed to be a “Big Problem” according to the same type of people you are listening to now. The power companies said it would cost billions to clean emissions and drive up electrical rates. The oil companies said it would cost billions to reformulate the gas and diesel to low sulpher and drive up fuel costs. People campaigned against doing anything about it and deniers even said that it wasn’t man made and that we couldn’t fix it.

It was a miniature version of the AGW debate, in the end the changes that the scientists said were needed were implemented over the lobbyists and corporate objections and the problem went away. No corporations went bankrupt, it didn’t ruin our economies, people didn’t have to go back to living in caves. These are all things that the opposition said were going to happen if we did what was needed to fix things.

The more you argue this topic the more you show your lack of knowledge on the subject. Your helping me make my point, not advancing your own.
