Excuse me, but does anyone recognize the ring on Arnold’s hand?

Libertarian Don,

"government-academic complex" Is that a government where smart people make decisions based on actual science and facts. Sounds scary.

Don,

You are warning people about the "government-academic complex" but you seem to inherently trust the oil-industry-complex? After all, what POSSIBLE motive could they have for fighting movements towards green energy and transportation? They have certainly proven themselves to be responsible environmental citizens in the past, right? Right?

Thanks for the article.

Just want to point out that not all the Politically Correct are green, either. For example, Ted Kennedy and RFK Jr. (who has worked for the NRDC) were highly effective opponents of wind power. Overgeneralizing often leads to reinforcement.

wow, libertarian don certainly has been sticking his head inside the 3ft ground and living as part of the 70% biomass.

mr don, people are not as dumb as you think. until you write a paper using proven scientific method, your statements are just rumors and allegations...

I’m not for big business, big government, but I’m especially not fond of CARB. I don’t like one state effectively mandating emissions for the rest of us… since CA is the largest car market in the US, it pretty much dictates what the rest of us can or cannot buy. One set of standards for the whole nation would be much better.

I also think in regards to car emissions we’ve reached a point where further emission regulations hurt more than help. It’s like trading a Prius for the next version… the increase in fuel economy isn’t anywhere near worth the amount of money spent (lost) in making the trade up. I also don’t think the added expense to cars is something we need right now. Not in the middle of a recession. Why don’t they spend their time, money, somewhere more needed. Hey, why don’t they pass a law making China clean up its air instead…

I hope Arnold is the “terminator” of this ludicrous ballot referendum. The passage of Prop 23 would be bad for everyone. Instead of moving the country forward toward clean technology and farther away from fossil fuels, we would be rolling back the clock and using the same old excuses of “it’s not the right time” or “we just don’t have the money.” With news that China has surpassed the U.S. to now be the top producer of renewable technologies, this is not the time for our country to step backward.

Climate change is real as it has always been happening. The fact that the greenhouse effect was renamed to climate change should raise red flags (pun intended). Talk about believing what you are told, mean greenies have swallowed the fraud hook, line, and sinker. You are not the rebels but the conformists! If you care about the environment, actually learn and apply the scientific method rather than follow the feel good religion of CO2 induced global warming. If you actually look at the data you will find that CO2 has been much higher before when the earth was much colder and that CO2 rises after the global temperature goes up not before. Warming causes ocean degassing of CO2. But don’t let facts get in your way after all the objective is to feel pious.

Our environment has very serious troubles spanning from habitat destruction to road salt pollution. Not only is CO2 plant food and not a problem but the schemes by the far left will drive our economy into poverty and make us too poor to deal with the real environmental issues.

Three great examples of the mean greenies policies destroying our environment: The mean greenies want to pump CO2 into the ground! They are too ignorant to realize that 70% of earth’s biomass is more than 3 ft underground. What are the green nuts thinking! Pumping CO2 into the ground will destroy these environments with who knows what outcomes. Hey but just like far off shore drilling what you can’t see can’t hurt you! Most greenies eat "organic" foods which result in much more land in cultivation and less for habitat. Most mean greenies oppose food irradiation that would dramatically decrease food spoilage (read less land in cultivation) decrease the need for refrigeration and the energy and CFC usage associated with refrigeration. Greenies are the enemy of the environment because the environment isn't their objective but instead religious piousness is their objective.

Start thinking greenies. You’re bringing the earth to a cliff and the free people of American will stop you.
