If y'all have to ask the price you really can't afford it.

Whenever faced with questions they don't want to answer liberals talk about "the big picture" or say that it's "complex."

Why do you fly on private jets?
Why do you ride in a limo?
Why do you own several homes?
Why does each home have a heated pool?
Why do you seek to avoid paying taxes?
Why are your kids in private schools?
Etc.

You haven't given me a relevant question yet.

If you believe in AGW:

Why do you travel on airplanes?
Why do you own/drive a car?

If you believe in AGW:

It's science not religion. Whether or not you believe in it doesn't stop it
from being correct.

Why do you travel on airplanes?

Because I can't get to my destination without one.
As a minor consideration I've never been convinced by the global warming
caused by aircraft. The 9/11 ban on flights led to a global increase in
temperature due to lack of contrails. The net increase over time may still
be positive but the short term effects of flight seem to be cooling.
But that's only a minor consideration. I live in the 21st century and am
not giving up the lifestyle my ancestors suffered to achieve so that
selfish American contras can ruin it anyway.
You could do with a bit more foreign travel to broaden your outlook. You
seem to suffer from the not-invented-here syndrome. Look it up if you've
not heard of it.

Why do you own/drive a car?
To get to my destination. To visit my family.

See above.

Why do you own a car? You don't seem to do anything.

You haven't come up with any questions yet. Snell' are all irrelevant.

My outlook is far broader than yours. Maybe you should sit down and attempt to recognize and understand what a hypocrite you are.

Let's try this question since your reading comprehension is so incredibly poor:

If you think that AGW is such a disaster why are you driving cars and flying around in planes, when most people on this planet do neither, and have markedly lower CO2 footprints as a result?

Try to follow this. Comprehension is not your strong point. From the
evidence available AGW is very likely. To make any appreciable change the
worst polluters need to take action. China has done so. Europe has done so.
The US is the worst CO2 polluter and is full of cranks who believe the
propaganda of the contras. Politicians who can follow the science are
increasingly being forced to take the contra view even if their personal
opinion is sensible to avoid blacklists at election time.
I use as little energy as possible whilst still leading the life I want.
But I'm not giving up the 21st century life just so that your gullible or
selfish countrymen can burn away even more of the world's resources.
I was convinced as a teenager working in a chest hospital that smoking
caused cancer and bronchitis when patients suffering from these diseases
tried to bribe me to smuggle cigarettes to them. I tried to convince people
of the danger of cigarettes and succeeded, at least with my family, in
preventing them from smoking. If I had been a smoker who gave up the impact
on the smoking death figures would have not been noticed. It takes a
concerted effort by a society to deal with such problems. If I sat at home
using no gas, electricity of fuel there would be no measurable impact on
global warming. If I can persuade people like you the impact will be much
greater.

Mike, you don't seem to understand the mind of a conservative. They are motivated by fear, and that's what their politicians do - fear mongering.

I can't think of anything that liberals are really afraid of that isn't based in scientific fact. And we're not really afraid in quite the same way.

Fear is really the domain of the American Conservative. They thrive on it. Absolutely everything scares them: socialism, Islam, illegal immigrants, science, Ebola, homosexuality, unmarried women, pregnant teenagers, marijuana, foreign languages (especially French), black males between the age of 11 and 65, "home intruders," Big Government, "tyranny," Mexico, Venezuela, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kenya, Somalia, Russia, China, Iran, California, New York City, foreign energy dependence, the absence or the idea of the absence of firearms, Al Gore, Elizabeth Warren, and NPR.

Conservatives are also the ones who were terrified of full-scale war with the Soviets. Why do you think Reagan built enough nukular missiles to blow up the entire world 50 times over? Everything they say or do is driven by an overactive, overdeveloped "fight-or-flight" response. As Frank Zappa might have said, "It's a way of life."
