It’s the old does-evil-exist debate.<br /><br />If you met local loser Bruce Hymes, you might change your mind on the notion that there are no sinners. Granted I am benefiting off his actions in that I find his downfall satisfying on so many levels and I smile big every time I see his dumbass on TV, but . . . he harmed a lot of people before he got caught doing a Chuck Berry. He would probably prefer the title sinner over many of the names both I am many of my peers use to describe him. <br /><br />Let us not get lost in semantics. <br /><br />I think suing the companies for damage caused by CO2 output has set backs. There is the whole question of how one goes about measuring the actual output or reduction of CO2 on a per company basis. Who do we trust with the measuring of such a thing? Also if there was no law restricting CO2 output, can one sue? Technically no law has been broken. Also if people are uncertain now about whether or not CO2 output has a negative affect on climate. . . would winning such a suit seem likely? Also how does one go about ‘cleaning up’ CO2 emitions?<br /><br />I think there need to be laws that limit CO2 output. This also has set backs. How does one enforce such law? Who do we trust to measure such a thing? At what level do we set the CO2 limit? Etc.<br /><br />There can also be incentives that encourage CO2 reductions. Again the set backs exist. Should you really be handing out money to people for doing what they should be doing anyway?<br /><br />I think a lot of questions still exist on this issue. That is why I find it odd when you talk about the consensus among the scientific community. In my experience, while most researchers generally view the CO2 as a problem, there is much debate on what to do about the problem or even how bad the problem is.<br /><br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
