NO Hollow Laws on Carbon Emissions.

There can't be any compromise. THAT has been the problem in the past, carbon dioxide emissions were never taken seriously because they don't cause cancer like other gases under The Clean Air Act. Compromise is how Climate Change caused by Human Induced Global Warming became the problem it is today.


Doesn't anyone, get it? I really believe there is this high level of DENIAL, even today, about the problem. It is huge. It is the most profound problem the USA faces. It is time to 'get over it.' No lobbiests on this one. Too late for negotiations about any plan to bring down CO2, the clock is running and the alarm has already sounded.

"...His (John Holdren) concern is that the United States and other nations won't slow global warming fast enough and that several "tipping points" could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said...."

This isn't just about Polar Bears, boys and girls, this is about life on Earth. Pandering to those that moan and groan all the way to the bank is out of the question. They caused this problem, it is up to us to stop their influence and seek solutions.

I don't necessarily believe in an auction of carbon credits. Quite frankly, I don't believe in carbon CREDITS at all. It gives permission for polluters to pollute. I don't care if there are complaints that one polluter or another is going to have to raise consumer prices to counter balance their carbon emissions. That is NOT what I call 'Climate Responsiblity.'

There are NO credits for NOX or SOX. Why CO2? Regulation is what this is all about, it is what the Clean Air Act is all about and quite frankly Carbon Credits and a Carbon Tax is a horse and pony show to what really needs to happen here.

It is called REGULATING carbon dioxide emissions without a category called UNATTAINABLE.

No more coal fired plants. There is no such thing as Clean Coal Technology except on some highly paid engineer's dreamscape. There needs to be responsible energy policies and that does not necessarily mean tolerating carbon dioxide emissions for the 'sake' of some kind of ? economy ? when there are very viable alternatives otherwise.

It is time to 'get real.' Life or death. That is what Climate Change is. Either we travel the path to living with Earth and its inherent dynamics or we die. Compromising and stating 'we have years to change' isn't reality, it's playing politics with life.

The USA needs to 'get over it.' Maybe the citizens of the country don't understand that real consequences are all around them. They don't link massive storms, Cat 4 and 5 hurricanes and frequent tornado outbreaks caused by Human Induction by Carbon Dioxide. Those conversations were labed TABOO by Republican Administrations. It doesn't matter through, government is supposed to take care of citizens when the facts are presented.

This legislation has to take place and it has to take place now. I can't believe those in the legislature are even playing with this issue. The infrastructure dollars are already there, it is time to 'get over it.'

A lot of bizarre behavior in the USA today. At least a lot reported. I don't want to say it, but, maybe the reporting is a stimulus as well.

A woman kills herself and her son in a shooting gallery. Wow. That was not only premeditated, it was guaranteed. Who would have ever thought.

How do you tell an arms 'rental' agent he shouldn't be renting guns. Renting guns.

Did you catch the video? I could not believe my eyes. She killed her 20 year old son with one shot. She not only thought up a completely horrible scenario to carry out a demented act, but, she must have studied some anatomy.



The shooting deaths at Virginia Tech revealed a the shooter to be a young man with a history of mental illness. So, the gun laws were tightened up to prevent those with such a history from purchasing weapons. But, this isn't even purchasing them. This is renting them. She not only rented one gun, but, two. One to put in her son's hand to distract him while she killed him with the other. Wow. It was well thought out and no one knew?

I can understand gun ranges like this. People that own weapons need to use them correctly, so they should practice handling and firing them, aiming. But, how does a mentally disturbed woman enter a gun range with her son and rent two weapons and proceed to kill both of them. What law is going to prevent that? It can't. The 'rental' agent would have to run credentials as if she were purchasing a weapon in order to find out this information. I believe the rental agent is liable, big time liable. I can't believe people can actually rent guns. I don't believe in renting guns even when in a shooting range. At the very least, when renting a gun it should be done with an instructor. This is really a very poor practice.

Then there is the pilot that wanted to be shot down by F-16s. I wonder if he should have thought about renting an F-16 and a jet pilot for 'war games' in order to be shot down? What makes people tick these days?

(NBC) - A man accused of stealing a plane in Canada and landing it seven hours later in Missouri told authorities he was trying to commit suicide.
Authorities said 31-year-old Adam Dylan Leon took off from a flight school in Thunder Bay and headed south.
American F-16 fighter jets intercepted him as he approached Wisconsin, and the state capital building was evacuated for a short time.
The pilot landed on a dirt road in rural Missouri and was arrested at a nearby grocery store.
Leon told a state trooper he hoped he would be shot down.

Another murder-suicide in Oklahoma. This is getting rough. It is people that primarily know each other and see violence as a friend in resolving personal issues.

Police say Miller and Smith knew each other, but the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

And look at this. Four teens committed suicide because of bullying. The latest one was attempting to leave her school by seeking a private tutor at home.

SCHENECTADY - One of the four female students who recently committed suicide was bullied so severely she was awaiting a tutor in order to leave Schenectady High School, according to the girl's aunt.
Shana Davis of Latham said her niece must have had other problems to see death as a reasonable way out. But the bullying she endured at the hands of other girls must have been a contributing factor, said Davis, who said her sister, the teen's mother, is too distraught to speak publicly.
"She didn't want to be there," Davis said about her niece. "It was very clear she struggled."
It has been rumored that bullies plagued some of the students who committed suicide. The first death occurred on Nov. 25. Others followed in late February and, most recently, April 2. All the students were black females, which is counter to typical suicide trends. More commonly for teens, white males commit suicide.
A Harvard University suicide and trauma expert is helping organize community response to the tragedies, bringing together school staff, public and mental health experts, clergy and police to devise an outreach plan....

AND THEN THERE IS THIS ! "FOX" consented to 'the idea' that suicide is a remedy when one of their stars decided to leave the show for a career in politics.

'House' Shockeroo: Kutner Suicide (click here)
...Out of the blue - a death on one of TV's biggest shows. A shot to the head. Never saw it coming. Neither did House. Nor did anyone else.
Now the valid question: Did Fox, or "House," set up this departure responsibly, or was it so shocking, so unexpected, that even viewers need help to deal with it right now? Hard do say, but Fox has actually set up a "mourning" site that viewers can access this morning. I've never seen anything quite like this - it lets viewers mourn the dearly departed while perpetuating the curious myth that Kal Penn's character is "real," and MUST be mourned....

Here is the funeral site, video and all. (click here)

It is a known fact that when suicide is reported on television, especially television, it causes mimics. I believe FOX has issues with giving permission to suicide. This occurred without any history of the character having a mental illness or life stress that would drive him to such an act. I believe they are completely irresponsible to the public and the episode needs to be reviewed for inappropriate and violent content. There is no rating system for television. The FCC needs to seriously examine the 'content' not only of this FOX program, but, of the current reporting content to the extent there is an escalation of violence in the country and any correlation.

There are absolutely too many guns on the street.
