How desperate are the pro-global warming lobby now? And how silly is this recommendation? Read on to find out:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...3/09/AR2008030901867.html?hpid=artslot&sub=AR

Near zero carbon emissions? Does that mean we cannot drive, light fires, or even breathe?
Idiotic! I am sceptical about global warming anyway, I see it as a ruse to control consumers.

And what's more, when so-called scientists make recommendations like this, I cannot help but laugh.
A world without any carbon emissions would mean us living like animals...Luckily, no-one would support this madness!

That my opinion...What about you?

...
 
The way I see it, near zero carbom emissions means having even output and input of carbon emissions.

Unless we run everything on electricity that comes from Nuclear Power Plants or other non Fossil Fueled fired power plants. It's unrealistic to have a zero carbon emissions.
 
Non-fossil fuel power is perhaps what they mean, although the report does not make it clear.

Fusion power or something similar is the way forward, to avoid using that troublesome black slime.

.
 
That means we've already screwed the Earth up beyond repair. :p

Care to elaborate? I can't think of a reason why scientists want to control consumers.

Who pays scientist's budgets? Governments.
Who is interested in how we spend? Governments.

I'll let you work the rest out.

Only if they are working for a Government lab. Scientists are typically payed by the company they work for.

Depends. Many scientists, particularly those working at universities, are subsidized by government grants. Companies also receive government grants for research.

So global warming is some big goverment conspiracy?

Sorry Curt but I don't buy into that kind of nonsense.

That's true, though the downside with government grants is that they are kind of picky on who gets it and who doesn't.

I doubt the US Government would give a grant on research to the positive effects of pot.

Come on, it is not David Icke you are talking to here.

Whether your belief system can handle it or not, the governments are
using global warming to influence us, much the same as the Y2K 'crisis'...

If you think Western people do not react to government statements or
legislation, then you are living in la-la land. The global warming 'crisis'
is an excuse to influence consumers, and that is plain reality...

No invisible lizards or masons, just fact.

Perhaps, but the government gets the final say.
They control what we hear, see and buy...

PS
Spare me the non-logic arguments today, CG.

I don't buy into such nonsense of a grand government conspiracy of using global warming to influence their people. I seem to recall lobbyists crying out to the government to do something about global warming while they sit their and deny it as a "liberal hoax".
 
No, see, before it was a conspiracy because governments ignored it, but now it's a conspiracy because they're not ignoring it.

I would not say it was a 'conspiracy', unless you want to call the nature of a government itself a 'conspiracy'.

I think the government departments of finance see an opportunity to push certain products and influence people to consume.

There is nothing more sinister to it than that.

Here is an example. When tobacco was in the heydays of the 1800s, the government-funded scientists declared that tobacco
was healthy and recommended chewing it. Obviously, the government and traders wanted tobacco to sell, and people respected
science men in white coats, so they chewed tobacco, got mouth cancer, and when people got wise to it, the government then
began to warn of the dangers of chewing tobacco...Can you understand the parralel with global warming?

Since the planet is overheating (allegedly) we had better buy certain products to minimise carbon footprints...!
All they do is release a buzzword, make it trendy, and everyone flocks to buy the recommended products...!

People are easily influenced, and using the perilous environment to sell things is the latest scam...
