Investing in new technology that could cut CO2 emissions would never be a bad thing, as they would be energy efficiant as well.<br /><br />The climate could very well do whatever it is going to do no matter what actions we take. We are best served by having robust enough world economies to be able to pump huge sums into relief efforts when needed. Kyoto would do little but hurt those very same economies.Rich Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561931187909269006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073298.post-1102997385334722732004-12-13T22:09:00.000-06:002004-12-13T22:09:00.000-06:00An enlightening take on global warming.

Global hunger is an immediate problem that is well documented, while Global Warming is still scientifically debatable and the potential dangers, if any, are further down line – not that we should ignore a problem just because it doesn’t effect us immediately (look where that has gotten us in the past). But still this has challenged my basic assumptions on this issue. The money would probably be better spent fighting world hunger, using a portion for further research on Global Warming, and spending some on good old fashion pollution control and research an alternative energy sources.David Leftwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674591142500915199noreply@blogger.com
