Benny - given that we all seem to be on the same page re.the big question : "Is CO2 causing global warming ?", why are you so hostile to people who just question a dogma which is driving policy changes which will affect the quality of life of billions of people by removing their access to easy energy ....... all on the basis of an increasingly unproven (and alarmist) theory ?

And I'm not talking about people in the first world. As someone who lives a lot closer to those 'billions' than you ... I find it deeply disturbing that you can admit that CO2 might not be causing climate change but you still want to prevent vast swathes of humanity from achieving the quality of life you enjoy in Texas. Thats why you SHOULD give a "@#$%" what the government says !

No one denies your views on overall consumption and general pollution, but, seeing as it is not proven that CO2 causes climate change - do you object to China building coal fired power stations (at the rate of 1 per week), and if you do, what is YOUR alternative ?
