In Reply to: Climate Bill posted by Clear Thinker
: The proposed climate bill is nonsense for three reasons: (1) we don't know why the global temperature is rising, (2) it won't do beans to affect the temperature one way or the other and (3) it WILL definitely take money out of your pocket.
E:Ah, but if you get monthly checks (union employment entitlement benefit disability retirement) from the government, the global warming scam makes perfect sense, because it's another way to continue to fund your checks.
: However, it is an opportunity to teach (and learn) some valuable lessons. How?
:
: Modify the bill in the following way.
:
: 1. Set a measurable standard for its success. For example, the global temperature must decrease by a certain amount after 5 years (or should increase at a slower rate, whatever). The standard should NOT be a decrease in the CO2 level because CO2 in and of itself is not the problem, temperature increase is.
:
: 2. If after 5 years the success criterion has not been met, the effort is judged to be a failure. At this point two things are done.
: (1) the bill is revoked.
: (2) The tax payer money is returned to them.
:
: Such an approach is just common sense: try and see if it works, If so, great. If not, dump it and try something else.
:
: Now that I think about it, putting a success criterion and a time limit on every bill should be done.
E:While your idea is good common sense...
...it could never become reality...
...because that kind of rationality cannot be applied to a government that operates on the liberal Ponzi fantasy of each person feeling entitled to someone else being forced to pay their way.
