-Caveat Lector-
Now I realise that politicians/goverment will use causes to further their
own agenda - and I have seen manipulation in the environmental movement.
All things considered, I don't suppose anyone would consider is bad for
business to eradicate life on Earth. I remember watching military officers
cry on tv when they cut the defense budget because it was ruining their
careers. Lets just keep bombing villages so the career military can stay on
track with their investments. I don't suppose that changing careers could
be a viable option. I remember the strong reaction of cattle ranchers to
laws cutting back on their outrageous subsidations. The loggers get angry
over environmentalist trying to save old growth forests because they make
good money - $18 and hour to cut down those thousand year old trees. Who
cares if we only have 2% of our original forests left? - they need a
winnebago. And if an environmentalist tries to stand in the way of their
logging they just cut the tree down anyway - and make sure it lands on him
and kills him. As far as making species extinct by our destruction of the
Earth, who cares if they have been here for millions of years - who cares if
the all species on Earth, including humans - are interdependent on each
other - I mean we wouldn't want to make a dent on their bottom line just to
save the erradication of yet another species, would we now? I mean it is
just too much trouble to have to change careers, so lets just continue our
destruction of the Earth. So now we have christian patiot militia right
wing extremists disguising themselves and joining activists communities and
working to sway them to further their agendas.

> Senate committee approves global-warming research legislation

> By H. JOSEF HEBERT, Associated Press
>
> WASHINGTON (August 3, 2001 8:32 p.m. EDT) - Republican Sen. John
> McCain teamed with Democrat Joseph Lieberman on Friday to criticize
> President Bush's approach to dealing with global warming and called for
> mandatory limits on greenhouse gases.
>
> The two senators said regulations for carbon dioxide and other emissions
> that are believed to be changing Earth's climate are needed because
> voluntary measures - favored by Bush - will not work.
>
> In the clearest signal yet that the Senate is determined to pursue a
separate
> climate agenda from the White House, the two senators will introduce
> legislation imposing a nationwide "cap and trade" system on greenhouse
> emissions.
>
> Otherwise, they argued, American businesses will suffer as the rest of the
> industrial countries begin trading emission credits under the Kyoto
climate
> agreement recently rejected by the Bush administration.
>
> "The current situation demands leadership from the United States," McCain
> said. He said purely voluntary approaches "will not be enough to meet the
> goal of preventing dangerous effects on the climate system."
>
> In an interview, Lieberman acknowledged that the proposal will likely
unleash
> "a big fight" in the Congress but said he and McCain are "committed to
this"
> and plan to press it aggressively.
>
> The White House did not immediately comment on the McCain-Lieberman
> alliance.
>
> In abandoning the Kyoto climate treaty earlier this year, Bush expressed
his
> opposition to mandatory restrictions or regulation of carbon dioxide or
other
> greenhouse gases, saying such controls would be too costly and harm the
> economy.
>
> While the administration has provided no specific program to deal with
> climate change, Bush has said his approach would rely on voluntary actions
> by industry and development of new technologies to capture carbon releases
> and reduce energy use.
>
> Lieberman responded, "Voluntary programs, unfortunately, do not work."
>
> The two senators warned that U.S. businesses stand a chance of being left
> out of an international trading program of greenhouse gases under the
Kyoto
> protocol unless a domestic trading scheme is put in place.
>
> While details are still being worked out, the legislation would establish
a cap
> on the amount of greenhouse gases that could be emitted nationwide. Caps
> also would be imposed for specific economic sectors such as power plants
> and transportation.
>
> Companies that exceed the limits could purchase credits from other
entities
> whose emissions are lower.
>
> The Lieberman-McCain announcement was among several actions taken
> recently that demonstrate the Democratic-controlled Senate is intent on
> pressing its own climate agenda.
>
> On Thursday, legislation advanced that would pump nearly $5 billion into
> research technologies to combat global warming. It was cleared by the
> Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Lieberman.
>
> A day earlier, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously
> approved a resolution urging Bush to reconsider his rejection of the Kyoto
> treaty.
>
> At the same time, Sen. Jim Jeffords, the independent from Vermont whose
> defection from the Republican Party put Democrats in control of the
Senate,
> said he was intent on getting a bill passed to regulate carbon dioxide
along
> with three other pollutants.
