Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I've been away a while), I don't think global warming, or, to put it the correct way, the involvement of human activity in accelerating and/or augmenting global warming is a hoax. I found the article interesting and agree with the writer because politics is playing a much bigger role, in such measures as increasing the use of biofuels, than sound strategies based on evidence, scientific or otherwise.There's a problem developing now with consumers here in the UK purchasing produce that appears to have travelled the least distance. This, however, is putting producers in poorer countries at a disadvantage. Also, it does not have any real impact on "carbon footprint", or however you care to describe it, because producers in the UK tend to have to use far more energy to grow out of season crops than that used to grow and transport the produce from, say, an African country.
Ignorance and political manoeuvring are taking the place of coordinated planning based on the best evidence available. No matter whether you think human involvement in global warming is proven or not, this is worrying.

Very true. Though, I suppose if I were to slightly defend politicians on this point, I think they truly are dumb enough to actually believe they're doing good. They could care less about the wisdom of their actions, all they want to know is that they are doing something. If those actions generate far more problems than we started with, that doesn't matter since our intentions were good. That is actually the most sinister part of it all; forget the vitriol spewed between different political parties.
Perhaps the saddest fact of politics, is the way people will favor government that is primarily designed to make them feel good. To hell with logic, science, and measurable results, these people want to immediately believe they are "helping" others since that is the quickest path to their emotional gratification. Therefore, no matter what side of an issue you look at, the real solutions, which often take a long time or aren't easy to implement, are tossed aside. This is truly sick since these supposedly caring people are usually hurting those they pretend to care for in the first place. Oh, and don't ever suggest to these emotional leeches that they might actually be wrong, because then you'll be labeled as the uncaring bastard who wants infants to starve and the world to explode. Hehe, these people are so sure of their own ideas that they'll go to the furthest extremes to condemn their opponents while ignoring rational arguments; thus is the origin of most political discourse.
While I may disagree with Al Gore and other supporters of the man-made global warming theory, I can still respect a strong logical approach to the world that isn't afraid to offend people's feelings and isn't afraid to have it's ideas tested by controversy. On the other hand, if we aren't allowed to fight for strong opinions, because that might make certain individuals feel bad or stupid, then we are doomed to never progress beyond our weak-minded foolishness. The trick is to value the world around us and be content that not every problem can be solved perfectly by our actions (especially if we blindly rush to action). If we trample truth and the science of ethics in an effort to inflate our own egos, then we merely compound the misery of this world (when all is said and done).
Heh, though I know, deep down, that these supposedly caring people are aware of their own willful ignorance and I suppose that very knowledge of their own hypocrisy is what ultimately makes them such sour and unfulfilled individuals. Hell, I'd be ultimately unhappy too, if my life were devoted to taking pathetic shortcuts at every turn. In terms of politics, I suppose I'd always be craving the next emotional fix of self-righteousness.

Absolutely. I agree with you.Perhaps the saddest fact of politics, is the way people will favor government that is primarily designed to make them feel good ...

It is frustrating that the majority of people in the UK (I can't speak for the US) seem to think that governments should fix things overnight and that, if that doesn't happen, that the government is dysfunctional.

In terms of this threads topic, I'm personally for government spending that reduces carbon emissions in ways that are purely positive. Such as encouraging more efficient technologies and nuclear power. However, some of the solutions, like ethanol fuel, actually don't help anybody (except maybe corn farmers) and that's even assuming that carbon emissions are a truly deadly threat (which is a hypothesis that I currently lean away from myself).

I was about to use the Han/Greedo scene as an example of a preemptive strike. I think if anyone wants to understand the conflict in the middle east, they have to read Now They Call Me Infidel by Nonie Darwish. She reveals the sad truth why bin Laden probably won't be caught but you'll never see any politician (Democrat or Republican) say it because it's very inconvenient.

About global warming. You should get Glenn Beck's An Inconvenient Book .

And why is it that people who are skeptics must be "paid by the oil companies or Bush?" What if some of these so called environmentalists have a hidden agenda of their own.
"PETA doesn't care about people."
Mr. Garrison, South Park
“Climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
“No matter if the science is all phony, there are still collateral environmental benefits (to global warming policies).”
-Christine Stewart, Canada’s former environmental minister
“To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective and being honest.”
Stephen Schneider, 1989. He wrote a report about Global Cooling in the 1970’s and was the lead author of the 2007 UN IPCC report on Global Warming. Could this guy make up his mind?
“Free enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process… Capitalism is destroying the earth.”
Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists
(Note that just because some activist group has a cute name like "People who Care" doesn't mean it should be regarded as an authentic unbiased source. And capitalism means you have the freedom to use exchange money for goods and services and vice versa provided you don’t use force or fraud to obtain it. So how can somebody be exploited if they chose to do something?)
“The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund
(Wouldn’t it be great if this guy actually had to live in a third world country?)
