Im really looking for what would happen to the environment if we put the economy first and not care about global warming. Such as : charts on what would it do to help the economy, and how long the environment would last. Things like that.

  3. www agua-luna com

  4. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6096...

    Good article.

    http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/independen...

    The full report.

  5. The EPA estimates that the Lieberman-Warner Climate bill, S2191, will cost as much as $2.856 trillion a year by 2050 and that CO2 emissions would decline by around 25 ppm. Obviously that bill is targeted for not going far enough, but to get such modest gains has an enormous cost so how much economic decline are you willing to face to deal with what may not be a threat at all?

    The last time it got warm it was good for humans, see the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods for details. CO2 has been far far higher than it is today during an ice age. It does trap some heat but that's not necessarily a bad thing and if it's necessary to remove it we can develop technology to do so.  

    The environment will remain no matter what we do or what happens to us, the Earth existed before we got here and it will still be here after the last person is gone. That's not to say we should pollute or litter indiscriminately but as with recycling, there's a cost attached to all of it. Make it profitable to recycle and everyone will do it, but don't just tell everyone they must do it or go to jail. Ask someone who was around in the 1970s how well the 55-mph speed limit was observed in the US. It may law-abiding types show contempt for the law.
