DC...just how can you be so certain the CO2 emissions are the primary driver behind earth's climate? Why do you trust those who have lied to the people time and time again? When the corporate media gets on a band wagon together, all at the same time, I get suspicious of an agenda being advanced. (And history shows that that agenda rarely benefits humanity)
I am no fan of pollution of any kind. But fossil fuels as an energy source will not be around for much longer. Hydrogen, created by photovoltaics, and stored as a solid hydide in canisters (see Stanford Ovshinsky) seems to be a promising technology and will get the carbon out of the energy equation. This technology is in use now and only needs to be scaled up.
Who stands to profit from the "cap and trade" system with regard to carbon credits? Is this another bubble to inflate? What does Al Gore gain? Even if he is sincere, I believe that climate science is extremely complicated and signicantly affected by powerful cosmic forces. Forces that are likely not completely understood and certainly not investigated or acknowledged in the media.
