dana1981- so you want more government control ? higher taxes?
first off- you must be pretty well of, huh? if you are for higher taxes.
2nd- you want the government to tell you what to do? wow thats a pretty scary thought.

EarthFir...- you should pay more attention to what is happening in the government. more taxes does mean more government control.
i have a question, what made you accept global warming is man-made?

When Dana says as long as the money goes to global warming, he means he wants more money for research grants.
Notice that people who think they should pay more are not doing so now. They just want OTHERS to pay more.

No! the earth is cyclic. And if the government enforced the existing rules it has in place already, instead of more and more laws and regulations, and taxxes for studies,. . . I could go on all night. . . so I'll stop right here.

Okay, well if it was to go into a national rail system, so that we the people would have an easy way to get our buts to our distant locals. Kinda like Europe, where it's affordable for the average bloke to plop their but in a seat and get to nearly any destination they want. You ever looked at how much fuel a jet uses, not to mention the personal auto, and what we are all experiencing with that now.

NO! Global warming cannot be stopped because we are not the force driving it. It is simple a climatic cycle the earth goes through. We are such a small, minute factor in the whole system that it is pretty self-absorbant that we think we have an effect. Science has proved we are not the cause for the change.

Yep. As long as the money and control went to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions - absolutely.
Yes - like I said, I have no problem with more government control or higher taxes as long as they go to a good purpose.
No, I'm not that well-off. I'm basically middle class, but very tight on money right now. Nevertheless, sometimes higher taxes are necessary.
I don't know what you mean by 'the government telling me what to do'. The government can't just tell you what to do. They can tell me I can only emit so much greenhouse gases. I'm fine with that, as long as their regulations are based on sound science.
The scientific evidence made me accept that humans are the primary cause of the current warming. The evidence is overwhelming.

The entire world must play some role in controlling global warming.
Government control is unavoidable… if the government wasn’t raising taxes the government would be controlling us by other methods.

Sure. It's like the old commercial about oil filters.
"You can pay me now or you can pay me a lot more later."
The cost of reducing global warming (we're not going to be able to stop it entirely) will be large, but not lifestyle changing large. The cost of doing nothing would be staggering. Pretty much guarantees a worldwide depression that would make the 1930s look like good times.
Jello - Flat wrong, at least about me. I pay extra on my electric bill to support wind power. I'll cheerfully vote for a fossil fuel tax that will affect me as much as anyone. Etc.

Budyy, it's here, accept it. Co2 drove natural changes in the past, and the co2 we're admitting into the air isnt magically different from that of volcanoes and other natural sources.
Taking steps to lessen the intensity of the coming change doesnt not have to result in more government control, it can actually involve less control. We as INDIVIDUALS can take steps to change our life-style. America is a disgustingly overweight country, riding a bike can be something constructive.

it depends. global warming is still happening but the effects will take years, nd i mean YEARS, to start showing nd for things to happen. for one thing we should start cutting down on using our natural resources. the things that are happening rite now is kind of like a "global warning".
