What I object to is governments forcing us to be "green" when there isn't a shred of evidence suggesting that we are responsible for climate change. If governments or communities want to go green, it's fine by me, as long as it isn't forced on people as it is today.
Also, it seems to me that the 'Greening' of our societies only result in greater tax $$ for our governments and very little (if anything) for actual transition to a less dependent fossil fuel economy.
Do not doubt that 'Climate Change' will happen. Stands to reason, Earth is a very old place and our records do not go back far enough for any 'real' accuracy. Much is based on computer modeling, which is of great assistance but the doubt is still there for the lay person....and politicians?? *pfft
If I have learnt anything from Horticulture it is "...Just when you think you have figured out Mother Nature and her rules...BAM!! She will hit you with something 'out of the blue' so it's back to the books"
I do object to the term "Global Warming" as being ambiguous. Thing that gets me confused is that all that is needed is a couple of our volcanoes to go off major league and it's a 'nuclear winter' ...how can humanity compete with that?? Admittedly we ARE striving in that direction.
