How are we pulling wires blindly when it comes to the environment? It seems the concensus is let's try to pollute a little less

Your analogy would work if we were trying to create a super gas that would recreate the ozone layers with random chemicals.

We're making cars that use less gas. Seems like the smart thing to do, wether we are causing this or not

I'm all for cleaner cars. I'm as annoyed by 8mpg Hummers as anyone. - Dr.Vermin Jul 16, 15:35 4
- when did anyone in this conversation say anything about cap-and-trade or kyoto? So far as I know, the only thing close to that was taxation. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:36 1
  - (I said "taxation and de-incentivizing pollution" - cap and trade aims to incentivize non-pollution, which is different.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:37
- so, you are happy to use intuition as a guideline. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 15:36 1
  - Wrong again. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 16, 15:44
yeah, the logical point is that we're pulling wires by polluting, not by trying to stop polluting -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:32
