Cap and Trade Bill?? What the heck is it?

Wood heat is carbon neutral. All the carbon in a tree was took in in that trees relatively short lifetime. Any carbon the wood lets off being burned would also be released by decomposing.

How can it be carbon neutral? With all the smoke it puts out? That doesn't sound right

Because when it rots it puts out the exact same amount of carbon. Not only that but your not releasing carbon that has been trapped for millions of years like you would burning fossil fuels. The new trees can take in any carbon and more put out by the dead ones.

I know how to put a stop to the climate change thingy.... Stop all govt. funding, and force the scientists who want to push their theory, come up with their own money....Car washes, bake sales, whatever.

If Cap and Trade passes, it will destroy the United States of America as we know it.

For our children's sake, I pray there are enough members of congress that they will stop it.

You mean, with the possiblity of another Challenger accident, thus spreading it into the atmosphere.....Mix the waste in concrete, then, seal it in a hardened concrete casing, and build fishing reefs out of it. Heck, divers could use them for night diving.

Cause the same kind of accidental event would be much better off occurring in the ocean?

This statement is as valid as the statement that if tomorrow the candy factories stop producing tic tacs it would destroy the United States of America as we know it.​

No offense, but are you trying to get this thread locked?​

Out of sight, out of mind, and who cares what it does to the ocean that provides most of the oxygen we breath and a large percentage of the food we eat? We'd be better off (and provide more jobs) sending it to the moon.

I don't want it in our oceans but it would be a terrible waste of fossil fuels shooting it to the moon. The earth also has gravity where the moon does not. What keeps it from returning to our atmosphere?

If you'd like to counter any of my points, please feel free. I dislike seeing the same falsehoods repeated over and over again. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms without resorting to untruths. But please don't direct your ire at me simply because I disagree with your views, as all of the statements I responded to were much in the same vein as the ones I made. I don't think we should be engaging in double standards here.

And if your problem was my tic tac statement, I'll clarify.

Any change, better or worse, would 'destroy the US as we know it'. That kind of statement is a pure logical fallacy.

Umm....The moon does have gravity. And rockets don't exactly use fossil fuels.​

How does the moons gravity compare to that of the earth? What exactly do rockets use if not fossil fuel? How much carbon does it put off? Also what kind of fuel do all the support vehicles use?
