@140 JM,

This is rich

First you say CO2 is bad because of global warming…
But since you know that won’t be accepted, you mention it is a pollutant…
And then when challenged you mention pollutants *merely* related to CO2 production

These are the arguments of a zealot.

No, these are the multiple arguments that all lead to the same conclusion, which you are attempting to avoid discussing – Fossil Fuels cause harm.

Your pathetic attempt to justify delays in changing our emissions failed to address your own examples – the Alcoholic and the Obese Person.

Much like the alcoholic, we are so dependent on the substance that we cannot stop using without some ill effects. However, the ultimate result of improved health is worth temporary discomfort – unless one is terminal. The only way to justify waiting is to assert that the future does not matter, and that we should persist in our behavior until the case is terminal.

You are advocating economic suicide, while claiming to be protecting our economy from disruption. We have plenty of technology ready to be manufactured and to replace the massive consumption of fossil fuels. All that is standing in the way is a massive global industry of oil, auto and coal companies.

You are like the alcoholic who is still in denial. You refuse intervention, and in the meantime you become more and more ill.

If we wait, we will only be farther behind where we could be if we take action now. The cost of postponing this effort is too much to risk.

Peace.
