The energy and climate debate

[admin]

Just to be clear, the EPA is nothing but a political animal when it comes to global warming and regulating CO2 emissionsl.  While I agree that the EPA has performed good science and regulation when it come to the regulation of hazardous wastes, that does not mean they are doing good science when it comes to global warming.  Global warming is the greatest fraud of the 21st century.  Ask yourself a few questions about the inconsistencies in CO2 emissions:

1. The UN report on global warming identifies CO2 emissions as the cause of global warming.  However, in the preamble of the report that I read about 10 years ago, the UN also identifies the fact that there is little man can do to stop global warming in the next 50 years.
2. Archeological climitologists have found that CO2 levels were 4 to 6 times today's levels, without man ever being around.

So we can conclude that climate change has occurred in the earth's past and it is occurring again.  We can also state that if it is occuring, by cutting back on CO2 emissions, the only thing we are doing is effecting the rate of change.

Second, if global warming is a given in th next 50 years, and there is nothing man can do about that, why are we wasting billions trying to minimize emissions and virtually nothing to prepare for the rise in ocean levels?   A colleague from Boston was trying to give me crap by saying, "oh yes, that's right, there is no such thing in global warming." I simply responded, "oh yes, it's such a threat, Boston has done what to prepare for the more violent, rising Ocean levels? Yea, that's right, you've done nothing."  Follow the money and you will find real answer to the questions you seek.

The real answer is governments are using the fear of global warming to drive thel agenda of the elimination of the hydrocarbon based economy.  Don't get me wrong, I am in complete agreement with this agenda just not the way we are trying to get there.

Good luck longs.

This was bound to come up sooner or later given that this thread is also about the recent policy changes and the consequences for the industry, I can only hope it doesn't escalate (I have some bad experience with that on Seeking Alpha, so forgive me I have some hesitations here) and people stay civil. If not, I will move it to another forum, probably the political one where one can amp up the volume a bit more if that's what people want.
