Are they (politicians)really that stupid? Maybe it is that they think we are that stupid? Or maybe just maybe we are all that stupid. Congress has passed a bill(Bush plans to veto it) requiring companies to reduce the amount of carbon(a green house gas) it releases by 60 percent by the year 2100. Here is the stupitiy- It's based on current emissions and the precieved damage that it's doing currently . Now take into effect that the number of companies that exsist today and then forcast the number that will be pumping Carbon and it becomes very clear our stupity! If you reduce the emissions by 60% but number of companies increases by 60 % you are now right back here...where we started from. Forget the small detail that at the current rate of emissions and what damage has all ready been done to the Earths cooling system we will be long gone by 2100! Iv'e written before that climatogogists and other scientist universally believe that if Greenhouse gases are not reduced now, RIGHT NOW! That we may see the disappearence of the Polar Ice by 2040. WE HAVE ALL READY LOST OVER 400,000 SQ MILES! Very simple to undestand....NO POLAR ICE NO LIFE ON PLANET! 2100 LOL
