Fortunately most countries have adopted Kyoto and other regulations to decrease the amount of pollution their companies produce. I think the most important argument is what the proper steps are to reduce air pollution and water pollution and other things that have an undeniable impact on us. Any type of greenouse gas benefits will follow suit. I don't think anyone on either side would argue that making cars cleaner and factories cleaner and not dumping toxic materials into rivers and water supplies is a GOOD thing.

I support regulations on companies to produce clean vehicles and factories and power plants. That has a direct affect on quality of life for everyone. Whether humans are directly causing a greenhouse effect will be debated for years to come, so I for one will watch as an interested bystander.
Regulating companies always scares me. Get everybody thinking we are saving the planet, put big restrictions on what companies can produce, and what people can buy. Pretty soon, they start saying online porn is causing children to become perverts. Let's err on the side of caution, and start regulating more on what people can sell online. 2257, COPA, all under the guise of protecting children. We all know that is not what they were up to, but people not in the biz would support them all day long, right? Leave companies and individuals alone. Stop making up junk science so you can tax us and control us more. Everybody wants a clean environment, and all electric cars would be fantastic.
