Quote:If you think for one minute that taxing the planetary populace and BUYING CARBON CREDITS is going to stop Climate Change or make one iota of difference to the global warming from pollution then I feel that you are not looking at the whole issue properly.Agreed .
Apart from thinking the whole concept is horseshit,the target (5%) is cynical tokenism.. As far as I'm aware we needed a world wide reduction of 20% years ago. We'e probably ALREADY FUCKED.
I liked the kind of solution used by lateral thinker Edward De Bono.:
A factory was polluting a river with effluent from its factory situated on the river bank. De Bono's solution:made the factory move its intake valve BELOW its output valve.
I have no moral argument about the issue,not even certain there IS a problem. Not being paranoid, I simply have no reason to doubt the evidence or sources I've seen. However, the issue is hopefully academic to me.With any luck at all, I'll be dead before things get nasty,and my greedy, fuckwitted species destroys itself.
