I understand politics...
How has global warming accelerated since 2004 to make it a top action issue other than kleptocrats wanting more of my money?
From what I've read the satellite data, real world measurements, contradict the computer model hysteria over global warming.
As a rule of thumb, governments create threats to expand their power. The Cold War was a false threat and once that was ended global warming became the in vogue reason to steal money before Bin Laden and an unending "war on terror."
Now, if the largest and wealthiest government the planet has known can't educate a literate population after almost 150 years of experimentation with education then how are they going to engineer a climate? Hell, in industrialized areas of the colonies literacy rates were over 90% without compulsory education...working men like blacksmiths would hire boys to read to them as they worked...Adam Smith and Thomas Paine; In urban areas of Michigan literacy is in the 70th percentile.
The government can't even keep steroids out of prisons, the most controlled environment they created...I used to get all kinds of juice related questions.
Osama went on the wanted list in 1993...he was killed last year..that's some effictive government for you.
My point is simple, if the government is incompetent at everything it does then why do you assume it will be competent on global warming? Everything good has come from the private sector and everything the government runs sucks. I remember when the government ran telecommunications, you could have a black rotary phone or a cream rotary phone...I was also on a socialist party line and no innovations happened because they were forbidden.
Once telecommunications were no longer run by the government we got cordless phones, answering machines, voicemail and cell phones in a VERY short time.
