Controlling Carbon Dioxide Emissions

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Senators Ready a Bill on Greenhouse Gases; Cuts Deeper Than House's, Carbon Offsets Cheaper. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will unveil a bill Wednesday that aims to make deep cuts in U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions in the near and long term while setting a limit on the cost of carbon allowances, according to several sources and a close-to-final version of the bill obtained by The Washington Post. (washingtonpost.com)".

We are now entering into an area of complete folly. Reduction of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is intended to alleviate global warming. However there is no scientific data to support that assumption.

Consider that as you pass a law which will restrict carbon dioxide emission, and you find that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration decreases, but global warming increases, what will you do? The obvious answer is that you will further restrict carbon dioxide emission in one, two, or multiple stages, until it reaches zero. You will simultaneously check what has happened to global warming and may very well find that your actions of carbon dioxide emission reduction have had no effect. You are then faced with the classical definition of insanity of continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result. Insanity in a single person is not a basic societal problem, but when you aid in bankrupting the US based on international politics, you and your associates will be doing extreme damage.
