Just what is needed. Thank you, Governor Huntsman, for your outstanding leadership. You make me proud to be a Utahn.

The actual serious consequences of global warming are not supposed to arrive for 50 to 100 years. Carbon Dioxide regulation is the perfect Big Government program--and thus a favorite for Democrats and similar outlooked moderate Republicans who are like Richard Nixon, the creator of EPA. No matter how much money the government makes us spend, the threat will always be looming over us. We cannot stop regulating because it can creep up on us any century! And we are all going to die if government doesn't regulate us almost to death. Since every breath we take, every move we make generates CO2, the government will be watching you, all the time, in everything you do. Your house, your car, your travel, your entertainment. You will be forced to choose between heating your house or your church, not because of a shortage of fuel, but by government rationing of CO2 emissions and energy use.

Environmentalists love to talk about the hubris, or overweaning pride, of mankind when affecting Nature. However, the greatest hubris of all is thingking we can take control of the earth's climate with precise and predictable consequences. Since the earth's climate warms and cools drastically all by itself (e.g. the recurring ice ages), how do we interfere in a massive way without makikng thinigs even worse? It is a project that no one has attempted before, and the science does not even approach a level of understanding to let us do it correctly. It is as if we were coping with AIDS by changing the human genome to make all people immune to it.

Warming is uncertain and is in fact mild. If it continues (which it may not) we can cope with specific effects without screwing around even more with the earth's ecosystem.

I have an idea
To reduce emisssion levels, fire all the people who set the tracffic lights!!!

How much emissions go up when you are waiting at every light on any given street?
