There are economies out there that are just as effective, but way more efficient. By all means, please enlighten me. Of course, many Americans don't want to believe that. Or just aren't keen on using our livelihood as a political and social experiment. Not believing in facts is usually a sign of religion. You haven't established that what you are asserting is facts. Ridiculing others for not beleving things that haven't been established as fact is definitely a sign of religion. Inefficiency and wastefulness benefit no one in the long run. Right. And I have no evidence that burning fossil fuels that release CO2 is wasteful or inefficient. In the absence of such evidence, diverting resources to reduce CO2 output is inefficient and wasteful of scarce financial resources. If we're trying to socialize the world economy, let's at least have a useful goal... making sure everyone has food and water, for example. Heck, the humanitarian in me would certainly be willing to contribute 3% (the latest low-ball estimate of the impact on the world economy to address climate change) of my earnings if it could effectively stop starvation worldwide. But to make a futile attempt to stop the global climate from changing? Nope. Regards, Craig Steiner |
