    au Contraire... What is actually BS is your inability to understand the implications of your own talking points. What actually happens when you take away gasoline or diesel? Food doesn't walk itself to the stores, does it? Something will have to convey it. So, all of the actual industrial and manufacturing processes that make stuff essentially stops, does it not? No reliable energy at scale equals zero industrial output. So, dream if you will, but the ability of the economy to devoid itself from petroleum products isn't able to produce this utopia you wish you could experience. So, best you take the original advice. Do your part. unplug. Don't play on the internet. Grown your own. Don't heat or cool your house. Park you car. This is, afterall what you've demanded everyone else do to satisfy your dream. The very least you can do is eat your own dog food.

    Only idiots believe government is going to remove all gasoline and diesel and end the US economy! I do my part and it costs me a few extra $$ but I'm not yet destitute! From my perspective, none of this is about ME...it's about what is in the best interest of the US and the world long-term? Contrary to your finite wisdom, humans ARE NOT good stewards of Earth, we are abusing it's resources, and we are contributing pollution to our streams, lakes, oceans and atmosphere, all of which will alter Earth's environment with potential horrific effects to humans...

    Such a cop out. "none of this is about me"... of course not. Why should it be? Why should any of the BS policy that you espouse ever actually be required of YOU. You're soooo special that the draconian dream you'd inflict on others shan't be used against you.

    Okay.

    How so?

    You wouldn't do it if it didn't make you feel good. That's part of the inherent selfishness present in all human beings...

    So your finite wisdom is better than his finite wisdom? Why is that?

    How so? Define "pollution"... What "pollution" are you speaking of?

    How so?

    Our business is run organically and in our personal life we try to minimize our footprint.

    I don't need to be a 'feel good' person to understand scientific potential/theory and to do my part.

    If you wish to debate my comments then do so.

    I won't waste my time on you to explain pollution...ask a 3rd grader to explain it to you.

    And, I won't waste my time on you to explain the potential effects of global climate change...again some 3rd graders can explain it to you...

    I didn't. Actually, you've suggested that you shouldn't be required to adhere to the actual draconian policy, you know, like the taxes, and the lack of gasoline, etc

    Splendid.

    Global Warming is not science. It is religion. Science rejects AGW models since they violate the laws of thermodynamics and the stefan boltzmann law.

    I am doing so right now.

    Insult Fallacy. Why must you resort to insulting my intelligence?

    I'm just curious about what you consider to be "pollution" and why that is... Plenty of people think that CO2 is pollution, when it is clearly not...

    Insult Fallacy. Why must you insult my intelligence?

    I'm just curious about how you know that it is occurring. How have people measured global temperature? How have people measured global CO2 content? How have people measured global sea levels? How have they falsified the laws of thermodynamics and the stefan boltzmann law?
