It's only his predispostion to the environmentalist position that makes him rant and rave about one, and softly call the other "a different but liveable world."<br /><br />Essentially, if it's true that the earth cannot support the population levels that industry/pollution makes possible, it's going to do something about it anyways. There's no need for the govenrnment do it for mother nature preemptively.GDWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996586199024780592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-73865717042337716032009-10-31T11:20:12.430-06:002009-10-31T11:20:12.430-06:00True, if we assume either that the warmists are co...True, if we assume either that the warmists are completely wrong or that our governments would not find a solution to the problem (ranging from doing nothing to some kind of torts) that did not violate individual rights.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-67431046370430572952009-10-31T08:48:55.561-06:002009-10-31T08:48:55.561-06:00Regarding the video about climate change: the fla...Regarding the video about climate change: the flaw in that guy's argument is that the bottom two squares of his diagram, even though he doesn't admit it, are the same result.Grantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-91534193440742517582009-10-29T10:05:05.543-06:002009-10-29T10:05:05.543-06:00Agreed.
