10 of these forum pages ago, that is what I posted. In the meanwhile, we had 10 pages of proof or denial posts, nature vs. man posts, professional citation posts, but only one, ONE, offering any kind of solution. Which was my point.
No. You may have only seen one post which YOU considered a "solution," but part of the reason for that is that you have been looking for the wrong thing to "solve," and would seem to consider as a "solution" the very thing most people in this country believe is a far greater concern that Global Warming represents even if it is real.
method inadvertently made the point very well with this post:
I am not sure why some of you are quoting professional organizations staffed by professionals in their fields as any sort of proof. Not sure if you knew this or not, but 90% is not a consensus its a conspiracy.... its very very easy to see.
The sad part is that no one alive now will really see the brunt of the effects of anthropogenic effects on the climate and our planet... we'll be long gone before the real consequences are felt. Bright side here again, is we wont have to deal with this... we'd rather save 10-15% NOW! thats the best for all of us!
(emphasis added)
Costs of 10-15% a year would be a massive drag on the economy and on economic growth. The difference between inflicting that on the economy and avoiding it would be close to the economic difference between no economic growth an an economic growth rate of roughly the same -- 10 to 15% a year, which would be absolutely massive, far greater economic growth that any of us have ever seen in the United States in our lives.
And despite that difference (and I am using method's own numbers in this discussion), Global Warming supporters dismiss the costs of the kind of government controls they support as if the controls would be insignificant, not worthy of concern.
The true "solution" needs to solve the right problem, and the problem of giving the government virtually unlimited control over all economic activity to fight the Global Warming boogeyman is a far greater problems than the Global Warmist predict.
