Matt Bors for November 02, 2012

So, does Bors super-duper, absolutely promise us no more natural disasters once all men are burning candles for light and getting around by hand-crafted bicycles?

Listen, I’m not going to change my position on climate change again, unless I think it will get me a vote.

Maddow made a good point. Netherlands and Britain have spent plenty to protect against “the sea”. When a proposal costing $5 billion to build “protection” came around, NY and others said, “too expensive”. Now that ONE STORM has caused over $65 BILLION in preventable damage, ever hear the term “an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure”??

Even if we stopped producing carbon today, we’d still get bad storms. But if we don’t, we’ll get far more. It will take a long time to empty the bathtub (there’s a pretty small drain taking carbon back out of the atmosphere), but it will NEVER empty if we don’t stop putting out this much carbon. The free market solution is to make carbon emissions expensive, preferably with a simple carbon tax, and let the market sort out energy through alternatives, including conservation. Are you willing to be a true free market conservative on this, or are you really after protecting big corporations at taxpayer expense?

Yes we may be helping it but it is going to happen I has before and will again we also have the next ice age coming It history check it out. the only difference with this global warming than any other is more people are getting rich on it that the last ones

You’re right! Plus the law that maximizing profits is the only good.

Um……. you do realize that the climate was changing long before humans showed up? And that it will keep changing even after we’re gone? Sure we’re probably contributing, and my argument is always “global warming or not, I want fresh air to breathe!” but to think that if we stopped emitting carbon (which is only a small part of what we’re emitting) that we would stop climate change is pure arrogance.

Oh well, if you’ve found someone else to agree with you that proves you are right. I mean that give us four; you, him, the March Hare, and the Mad Hatter,
