im most disappointed in the stunted view of environmentalists who think carbon taxes & restrictions will solve anything. getting large populations to conserve is impossible. One can easily look at the way californians are not lifting a finger to conserve water even when jerry brown is sending out the bat signal. what makes progressives think china or russia is going to follow carbon limits? or japan not fishing the oceans to extinction? clownshoes.
the earth will warm, & everyone who has a job will be fine.  |
Hi Joshua,
I tend to agree: There's little anyone can do to stop the population from growing. I think Carbon taxes are a great idea but for sure there will be some companies that wiggle their way out of paying. And of course not all countries will do what they can or should.
We can only be responsible for ourselves.
As for your last comment, I think that SOME people with jobs will be fine, but what about poor countries who's populations already live near sea level? Or are already facing record high temperatures? Do we as civilized people who are creating the problem in the first place, not have a responsibility to try to prevent it from happening?
