I just watched the Enron documentary this weekend called Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. It was quite amazing how those involved bought into the hype without questioning more. As Licia Corbella in the Calgary Sun says and I quote: "Much money is at stake -- much more than Enron multiplied"

The money involved in emissions trading and Kyoto is BILLIONS of dollars. More from TCS on the corruption involved:

Global Warming a Theory, Not Scientific Fact: Worthington
An Alternative Theory of Global Warming
The scary thing is that these THEORIES will be used to decimate economies and move money into pockets. Another seemingly good cause hijacked. Watch for the NEP2 and what you don't hear from the MSM....

Y2Kyoto: Maurice and the Media
Really, isn't there enough true pollution that we should be dealing with? I'm not saying don't study it, let's just focus our efforts on what we really know. I've reduced my garbage by recycling. Let's continue looking at alternative energy. Let's work on keeping our lakes, rivers, and oceans clean. But let's not decimate economies by shuffling money around to the offenders and invested parties.

Something Smells Rotten and it's NOT CO2

you know lanny, its probably the "reduce" part that so many have trouble with. While I disagree with you about climate change (and kyoto as well), I do agree that we should be addressing pollution more. The thing is, is that I believe by addressing pollution and encouraging people to reduce, reuse, etc, we will indirectly be reducing C02 emmissions-problem solved everyone happy. Kyoto has become a game of semantics, and its getting tiring personally. Whats the point of it being there if nothings being done? Unfortunately, its our culture that breeds the pollution, everything instant, everything available exactly when we want it,etc. We have a "use it once and toss it away" mentality, so until that changes, our contribution to pollution isn't going to change. Maybe instead of kyoto we should just be concentrating on renewable and alternative energy (and thinking of nuclear, I'd rather see the co2 personally-at least the change will be more gradual than an instant nuclear meltdown should some disaster happen;). Cut out tax loopholes for polluting industries like oil companies and provide more incentive for alternative energy. Provide more personal incentives, funding for citywide composting for example. Halifax has it and its wonderful, especially because apartment dwellers like myself can compost now. Those are just specific examples to make a point...the reality is, is that there are so many ways to become more efficient that in the long run will save a lot of money, time, and adaptation should all these climate change "theories" come true. Until then, we are just swimming in our own shit.
anyhow, might see you this coming week ;) take care
Talked to a mining engineer over the past week about nuclear energy and nuclear waste and he got quite a chuckle about all the concern re the disposing of nuclear waste. He said that the existing stores of apparrently very high grade uranium in northern Sask actually pose as much or more of an environmental health hazard to the environment as any by-product nuclear waste would. With all the nuclear reactors we presenly have in the world today, it really is amazing there haven't been more deaths from their radiation. Now there have been a significant number of deaths from auto accidents. I believe we should ban autos and go back to the horse and buggy----decrease deaths and decrease CO2. A win-win situation if I ever saw one!
