@Olivier5,
He might understand, Olivier, that man-made global warming has not been proven. As Apisa might say--"it's a guess". Then your logic falls to the ground.
GW might be a conspiracy to slow the US down in its bid for Glory which does require it to pump **** out at an accelerating rate. As for its competitors. The accelerating rate is a manifestation of cheap energy. Hence shale gas. What Obarmy meant by bragging about the US being more self-sufficient in energy was that gas would be cheaper. Or at least not dearer. Taxation of gas being irrelevant in economic terms. In ordinary terms it is as relevant as a conductor is to an orchestra.
The recent decline in sun spots, which is said to be the MC for the performance of the Ice Age trick, God's way of making a fresh start when mankind fucks up, would suggest, using the tree-hugger's own logic, that we pump out as much **** as possible, as quickly as possible and give God the stiff finger salute. Setting fire to the Siberian perma-frost being a last fling if we need it.
We won't go quietly I can assure you.
In which case it makes sense to bug that meeting to find out what the buggers were up to to stop the US saving mankind. The crude oil was no use for that as the last Ice Age proved. Which is only about 400 generations back.
A slightly thicker mist of **** for an atmosphere might be the equivalent of the lush greenery said to have covered the earth in by-gone days when the organism that could digest any of it, from cacti to clover, got so big that it couldn't get it on anymore and the females were not hard-wired to do deals with "smaller".
The only argument that I have is that it is unsporting, ungentlemanly, not done in well educated circles, too clever by half. Attracts the wrong sort of people. It's fair enough shinning up drainpipes and planting bugs in flowerpots in the dead of night. Or having the night-porter boxed off.
It's tele-spooking and not the real thing. I know it helps get a blocking vote at the UN together.
