Quiz #6 (With 1 Answer)
Inspired by MaxedOutMama's posts explaining why governmental actions to slow climate change will further wreck the economy, some questions:
(Prior posts in the series here, here, here and here.)
- If GHGs cause warming, why are GHG emissions up but temperatures down?
- Why have so many of the computer models over-estimated increased temperatures and rising sea-levels?
- If GHG emissions drop in countries with economies in collapse, does that increase the likelihood (it doesn't prove it) that cutting emissions will undermine our economy and make the current downturn worse?
- If none of the proposed remedies--including the Kyoto carbon caps--will slow warming significantly, why not spend the money elsewhere?

> Because Obama promised to
Well, since he's so far backpeddaled on a lot of the other socialist stupidities he sold his voters on, why not this one?
Anyone with half a brain knows it's the wrong thing, particularly right NOW with the economy doing poorly.
And no one ever said Obama was stupid. Unwise, yeah, but stupid? No.

Agreed--if Obama can invent some green-sounding, but largely hortatory, climate change measure, thereby keeping his promise.
