You continually display your ignorance of warming and cooling cycles that took place long before they could have been driven by human activities. Human were around for the last major ice age that covered most of what is now Europe with ice. Did they warm up the planet with their campfires? Or just, possibly, are natural cycles at work?- I tend to lean towards environmental stewardship, so I guess you can put me into the loony liberal side of your bucket. I value clean air and water and sustainable resource use. I'm a fan of all-electric cars for commuting, ever since I worked on them at Gould Labs back when Carter was president. I'll be one of the first to buy the GM Volt, regardless of what it costs. I'm for private enterprise to fix things like CO2 emissions by using the market place to sort out the winners and losers. Oil will get more and more expensive, so it has no long term future as an energy source. It was the low hanging fruit for the last 100 years, but now we have to climb higher and higher to get at it. Just like in an apple orchard, we need to plant new trees now so that the next generations after us will have the means to live well. I'm excited about the future because I can see things that will be and know people who are going to make a difference. The old power structure is crumbling and new growth is coming to the surface. The US will be at the forefront of this new future (and that's regardless of who occupies the White house this next term). Rolando |
