Let's say your wrong, bcoz its happened before (iraq, vietnam, cold war), and the world suffers irreversable climate change, are you going to take responsibility for encouraging inaction because that is what you are saying. Its no wonder the only reasoning Obama can use is the security gained from not sending money to potentially threatening middle eastern oil producers. There are actually alot of benefits that are better for the environment, for the US economy, for the job market and for your health. |
Ok, now lets say you're wrong and tens of thousands of people in developing nations have died because they were told they cannot develope their country with the cheap sources of energy that the major nations of the world exploited in lifting their people up from the same conditions. Are you going to take responsibility for encouraging inaction in helping those people with the cheap and available energy sources like coal? Because that is what you are saying.
You know what the difference is? These people dying as a result of not having access to cheap power isn't based on a model or a theory. It's reality and it is happening already.
PS - This has nothing to do with the survival of the planet. The planet will be here no matter how much C02 we pump into its atmosphere.
