Climate change bill

[Q9]

but the animal's lives, it prob wouldn't hurt us much at all but them yes, and I don't want my kids living with the prob. Not arguing just stating what I think.

Well, the problem is that out of the 13 polar bear populations in Canada, 11 are increasing or stable, and only one appears to be adversely affected. Also, the highly alarmist UN orginization IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) predicts a seal level rise of 24 inches. If all of Greenland's ice melted, it would mostly collect into a giant bowl created by its own sheer weight. Antarctica is cooling. What warming would do is extend the growing season and hopefully put me in planting zone 8.

Also, polar bears didn't go extinct during the massive medieval warm period or the Roman warming, both of which were HIGHLY beneficial to mankind. As for my opinion of Al Gore...

Also, even if we stopped emitting all carbon, it would do no good. The warming is quite natural. In fact, during the early 19th century when Co2 was minimal, there was a warming, then in the '70s when concentrations were much higher, there was a slight cooling. Then there was another recent warming. For good books on the subject, read The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and The REALLY Inconvenient Truths. They totally make a joke out of manmade global warming.

Heck if the government is worried about CO2 killing us all lets spend 5 or 6 Billion and plant trees all over the place so the CO2 will go away. CO2 is a green house gas BUT so is WATER VAPOR and we as people exhale CO2 when we breath. I'm not saying global warming isn't happening I'm saying it's not man made.

Since we started recording CO2 emmesions, we've only pumped out .00002% of what's in the atmosphere. I think it has a tiny bit of effect but it's completely not noticeable.

The polar bear population in Canada may be stable, but the debate is about the polar bear population in Antarctica which is decreasing!!

I am scared of it.

Now, keep in mind that I have not read the bill. I have been watching the news. From the news I've heard

a) they put in over 300 amendments at 3:am the morning it was to be voted on

b) they want to standardize building codes across the nation to be just like California's. (thats scary)

c) government inspections on private home sales. Really? Thats insane. More intrusion.

d) its going to cost me as much as 25% more

e)some repubs asked for the amended copy of the bill and were denied but expected to vote. (I've got more to say on that. Both sides have been doing this to each other for years. It should be illegal. The kind of government intrusion that I want is for them to be legally bound to read the ALL bills and become expert on the subject matter.)

Ok, all better now, got that off my chest.
