My position in life, my prayer so-to-speak is that truth would be near to me and lies far from me. When climate-gate came out in the news it was very disturbing. Whether co2 produced by man has had any impact/effect on the climate is not clearly understood.

Nevertheless, my position on emissions (co2, sulfur dioxide, mercury, etc) should be controlled and limited in a reasonable way. Human experience will tell you that anything in life in excess is bad but I think the way politicians and governments have gone about tackling co2 emissions has been extremely flawed. I've mentioned this before but carbon trading is just a game or an "indulgence" in the ecological religion. I'd much rather see money and efforts spent on sequestering, scrubbing or recycling of emissions than have carbon taxes (the things governments and greedy corporations create to make you poorer) passed down to you and me. I think the US has the technical know how to do great things how but unfortunately and historically I think we have spent our money on the wrong things.
