    Solutions to "global warming" that only an idiot would be against

    The politicians keep debating about what should be done,when it is really simple,and will save money.

    A LED voucher program. LED lights 1/2 the energy of fluorescent light bulbs and 1/8.75 the energy of incandescent light bulbs.

    More incentives for high mpg vehicles. For example if it costs $2 to go across a bridge for normal vehicles,have it cost $1 for High MPG vehicles. Less money to park,etc.

    These are just some examples of what can be done.
    Those who would sacrifice essential liberties for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

    We don't need any solutions for Anthropogenic Global Warming; it's not happening!

    It doesn't matter if its happening the "solutions" will appease the people who think its happening and the people who don't think it is happening. Are you against saving money?

    Why dont we just count and tax each breath that we take. Then the people who breathe the most (and live the longest), the atheletes will be taxed until they cannot breath any more. Population culling, control and profits all at once.

    The whole climate denial industry is just a propoganda tool used by the capitalists so that they can continue what they are doing, and have ALWAYS been doing. And that is pollute the planet and exploit the workers. Polar bears are increasingly been stranded on ice sheets and drowning as a result.



    We are all in this crises together. Whether worker or arctic animal, it is our DUTY to unite against the capitalist baron skum and their polluting ways.

    New taxes as solutions are bad. Lowering the current taxes and tolls,as rewards for becoming more efficient are good solutions

    That's not really true - it's almost always the case that a polluting industrial process is cheaper or easier than its non-polluting equivalent. Abiding by environmental standards is a cost for business - but not doing so simply moves that cost onto everyone else, in the form of polluted water, ground, and air. It would be convenient for Sellafield if they were allowed to pump radioactive waste into the Irish Sea, for example, rather than having to ship it away for careful disposal - we, on the other hand, would probably not consider it so convenient.
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.
