i can Not believe the on going B S that runs along with the idea that mankind has Somehow dirtied our Planet’s atmosphere . All of The Pollution we humans have made since the Industrial Age has amounted to a third of a percent of our total atmosphere. what a Blind Hoodwink of the Government. Fire them All. and if the Next batch is bad, then Fire them Too

Let’s take the administration at their word then ask how much carbon pollution resulted from the president’s $100 million tour of Africa, which required multiple aircraft and hundreds of vehicles transported to the sites. Then ask how much carbon pollution resulted from the latest trip to Martha’s Vineyard, in which the president and first lady, their children, and their dog were transported separately. If this problem is so serious, then can we expect the grounding of Air Force One? The hypocrisy has become legendary.

Follow the money. The climate change industry made Algore a very rich man along with many other progressive phonies.

Green is still the new RED! this is not about climate change, global warming or pollution, this is about the progressive agenda of making new taxes come from a willing society who despite all of the advances in air quality still think there’s a problem in the U.S. with air pollution! Along the lines of over a trillion dollars every year. However, when the actual taxes are collected, they never get in revenues what they anticipated because when you tax something its use goes down!

In reply to R. Cotour. It's really quite simple. If only all life ceased to be, the Earth could get on with the business of living. I'll continue to drive a car with a powerful, consumptive engine, keep my home warm in the winter courtesy of blessed oil and fly to Europe or Asia or any other far flung destination I so desire, thank you, all the while reveling in the size of my carbon footprint.

“climate change”.

I laugh when I hear people citing “climate change”. It is the nature of the climate to change, the climate could not not change. A ridiculous term. Climate change defines the atmosphere.

The scientific problem is quantifying the degree of effect of human activity on the atmosphere, a hugely varied, complex and difficult task.

That is not exactly accurate, first it was “anthropomorphic global warming”, a direct human causation, specifically due to the human use of hydrocarbons and the associated liberated CO2 was tied to the warming of the earths atmosphere. Then it was dialed down to a more generalized term “global warming”, because the interested party’s could not really correlate the effects scientifically. Then it was re generalized to just plain old “climate change”. That is a more accurate progression of the conversation / propaganda.

Now the progression goes to the term “carbon pollution”, which IMO is a more accurate term related to the effects that humans have on the atmosphere and the oceans. The honest conversation should be about pollution in general and improving and developing technology without the fear factor and the agenda. But we understand that there are no honest conversations, truth lies only in mathematics and physics and not in the words of man.

The president needs to be careful about what he means by “carbon pollution.” If it only applies to CO2, he needs to specify that it does not apply to other carbon based molecules, because all Earth life is based upon carbon molecules. All plants and animals could inadvertently become considered “pollution” and have to be cleaned up from the face of the planet.

Talk about a superfund site…
