Med & Knowm. I’ll bet you each $1,000 he can’t answer it. Drum Roll...
I'll answer one question for now (I thought I already did?)

Once more: I...DESIRE...ALL...THE...CHANGES...YOU...DO. Everyone does. Renewable energy sources, clean up dirty industry, move to clean auto fuels...stop clear cutting and burning the forests. I just don't believe in man-man global warming.

So, if I’m, wrong: NOTHING DIFFERENT HAPPENS THEN IF I'M RIGHT. Open, capitalistic markets WILL bring about these changes in technological advancements even if legislation doesn't force them on us. Just as no one had to force anyone to stop riding horses when cars were invented, if car companies offer cleaner fuel technology with better mileage, people will buy it.

So, do you really understand what you're asking? It is widely understood that the Kyoto agreement will do little to NOTHING to mitigate climate change. Cars are really a very tiny piece of the puzzle. So, industry needs to clean up. But no one is asking industry to clean up. They’re asking them to pay a fucking carbon trading fee. Do you honestly think FAKE carbon trading between companies is going to do a goddamn thing for the environment? You're delusional.

For all your faithful green-head's talk, nothing is going to happen for the planet except to prevent third world nations from enjoying the technology you currently enjoy, you hypocrites.

You want to introduce laws to make our homes more efficient and better insulated. Fine. Build with recycled goods. Fine. Again: these do little to change CO2 prodution.

You're just like the democrats. A lot of talk of change, yet nothing ever gets done. All your legislating still equals no change in actual amount of human CO2 out gassing. Maybe renewable energy sources will help lower carbon emissions’. But I guarantee you those energy sources will be used in the future with or without climate change litigation.

So, if I'm wrong, NOTHING CHANGES. The planet will warm, but a conservative estimate of ONE FULL DEGREE over the next century is STILL NOT A CRISIS. (It raised .6 degrees over last century and we have cleaned up our technologies already and will continue to do so.) If you don’t think we can expect HUGE advancements in science, energy and recycling in the next 100 years (even without a Kyoto treaty) you must really be delusional. Just think about the state of technology 100 years ago.

If I'm right: still Nothing changes BUT the planet's middle and lower class have another tax burden thrown on their shoulders at the hands of unscrupulous politicians and the masses’ inferior I.Q.

Sig-hail environmentallists!
