    Maybe, maybe not.

    You still have no point

    Make a point. Why will regulation improve Climate change?

    Why is climate change bad?


    Cool, but you are limiting climate change to C02....

    The issue is NOT climate change. It is the rate of change that is key. The big problem is that folks wimp out in college and don't take calculus. Rate of change, that is where man and our baggage come into play. Indisputable

    You know sport I was getting all wrapped up answering your posts then I realized it is useless. The answer to every question is in my first post. Whether you read it or just decided to ignore the points matters not. You are like the Bourbons of whom Tallyrand said
    "They have learned nothing, and forgotten nothing." When you want to engage in conversation try again.

    I challenged that and you didn't offer anything.

    You mentioned something's would happen, but why that is bad is unclear as provided by history.

    The science in this does not matter. We have to approach this with a cost benefit analysis.

    The first question is can we afford to fight the climate. The answer is no.

    Since not being able to afford things doesn't stop Washington we should not bother asking that question. Our next question should be what will this cost and what will the benefit be? How many lives will be saved? How much property will be saved? Then we should ask if we invested the same money we would spending fighting climate change fighting some other real or imagined threat could we benefit more.

    The obvious answer is yes. A billion dollars could eliminate malaria saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Could a billion dollars reducing CO2 do that? No.

    If you are going to spend on things that aren't priorities, at least spend it on things that will be effective.

    natural gas has been replacing coal well before there were stronger regulations on coal. I am not denying that the regulations on coal are more stringent but there is a natural push toward natural gas that would be happening with, or without, stronger regulations on coal.

    First let me state I have no issue with Nat Gas. None at all.

    IF you are truly all of the above, show an equal playing ground...

    Coal is the 3rd cheapest over it's lifetime and has marked steady quality improvements each year on burning more clean.

    Horseshit. There is a ton of scientific evidence proving anthropogenic global warming. No one but a fool suggests that the dinosaurs caused the Ice Ages, which happened many millions of years after the meteor strike that killed the dinosaurs.
