I'm sure you have heard the story of chicken little?? It applies perfectly to this AGW issue. Is it getting warmer? - Yes How much warmer? 1 degree over the last 100 years! The GAO has determined that carbon caps and trading would cost every houshold in the United States $4700 and do you know what this money would be used for???? NOTHING!!! We are fighting a battle in this country between the financial elite and the comman man. Unless you are one of the financial elite why would you want to make them richer???????????
This is maddening, DO THE RESEARCH!!!
