Agree to disagree.
Depends on what data you are looking at. I've said it before, if you bring the WHO study into this argument then be prepared to defend their methodology.
Your opinion and very debatable. Rationing, end of life, cancer, cost containment... there are challenges with every system. USA is where it's at if you are ever diagnosed with cancer.
Untrue. There's a fair amount of socialized housing in this country today. Section 8 housing provides for more than 2 million households right now.
For the fourth time... If this were proposed (which no doubt it will be at some point) will you defend the idea of socialized housing (as a basic right) the way you are defending socialized medicine?
Yes he does. And he sell the **** out of them too. Made hundreds of millions of dollars creating a false solution to a problem that may not exist (in the way he portrays it).
Al Gore is a capitalist in the finest tradition of the most wildly successful snake oil salesman. And he's a D-Bag to boot, just ask Tipper.
It's real and no one knows for certain what's what (just yet). But assuming you are correct, what of the vast Asian rice fields, Chinese economic expansion (pollution), the Indian economic expansion (pollution), vast cattle farms... I mean, it's methane that's the real problem, right?
I'm sure you are familiar with the opposition to your declaration above so I'm going to side with the idea that, to the extent it's possible, we should diverge from fossil fuels when it's possible to do so.
You mean the $9,000,000 villa in Montecito?
I think we are doing that now. See Solyndra.
Look, I'm a "all the above" guy, but cap and trade is a fraud and will have zero effect on the global situation even if you are right. It is crippling our economy with no global benefit. Sheer brilliance (for the Al Gore's of the world).
No, it's not for the next couple of decades, the lifestyle of the 1990's is over right now. That much is clear.
