Of COURSE the predicted outcomes are bad...do you think Channels 1-100 are going to bother to show you predictions that aren't SCARY? EXTREME? DIRE?

Hell no! You have to understand that science is sadly becoming a business now as well. It's a special interest group, a lobbyist, corporation-like as well. So it's in their best interest to throw out doom and gloom predictions, because then we need to funnel more money into SCIENCE to save us from ourselves. Anyone who tries to say anything outside the science party line of "climate change will lead to bad, bad things" is shouted down worse than in English Parliament.

I agree that putting CO2 into the atmosphere in record numbers is bad. I disagree that it is the sole cause of global warming (which is now "climate change" because things aren't warming up fast enough and cooling in other places) and I wholeheartedly disagree with our presumption that we can predict what can happen.

I do agree with reducing exhaust simply because it makes the air cleaner. Exhaust makes my air sting and makes me cough. It's pretty simple that it's nasty. I can look at a stream and not be able to see to the bottom and figure it needs to be cleaned up. We need to do it because it's self-evident, not because the science industry is getting revved up like the religious industry has and every other special interest group. Don't feed me manipulated science to try and have me fund you.
